METHOD
How to read this page
Every rank is the UFC’s own, from the Oct 20, 2026 poll: C is the champion and IC an interim champion. Move is the change since the Oct 13, 2026 poll; New is a fighter who was not on the list then.
Last and Next come from the UFC cards in the fight data, across the cards shown since Jan 11, 2025: a fighter with no bout in that window shows a dash. A next bout is the one on the schedule today; bouts change before fight week.
Win is the fighter’s Kalshi price to win that next bout, read as a probability. It is shown only where Kalshi lists the bout with the same two fighters.
