Our ranking ≠ UFC rankings.
UFC's official list is set by a media panel with political considerations. Ours is purely numeric: the Elo rating below is the standard Elo discounted by uncertainty, so a thin-sample star with one big win can't outrank a proven contender. The current champion is marked with C, interim champion with IC. See methodology →

The Elo rating shown above already includes the uncertainty discount (Global Elo − σ). The raw Global Elo point estimate is hover-revealed next to each rating. This penalizes thin sample sizes so a 1-fight newcomer can't outrank a proven top-10. See methodology →
