Rankings Overview - February 2026

Islam Makhachev holds the top spot in the men's pound-for-pound rankings after becoming the UFC's eleventh double champion with his welterweight title win at UFC 322. His 16-fight winning streak ties Anderson Silva's all-time UFC record.

Alexander Volkanovski climbed to fifth in the P4P rankings after his dominant title defence at UFC 325 in Sydney. The Australian champion is tied with Jose Aldo for the most featherweight title victories in UFC history.

The lightweight division features both an undisputed champion (Ilia Topuria, 17-0) and an interim champion (Justin Gaethje), with a unification bout expected in mid-2026.
