Quick read
The UFC's newly introduced AI-generated rankings have prompted debate, with observers welcoming the removal of veteran fighters who had outgrown their top-15 placements, including Vera, Ortega, Emmett, Dariusz, Lewis, and Andrade. Critics have questioned the logic behind certain placements, pointing to flyweight Kevin Borhas sitting at number ten despite a 2-4 UFC record, no finishes, and a recent missed weight, while Charles Johnson ranks five spots lower despite a more impressive résumé. The AI rankings are currently running in parallel with the existing media rankings, with the old system still influencing matchmaking.
