UFC Light Heavyweight Rankings

The light heavyweight division remains exceptionally competitive at the summit, with Robert Whittaker narrowly leading Carlos Ulberg by just 0.6 points despite both exceeding 88/100. A significant gap then emerges to Magomed Ankalaev and Dominick Reyes, establishing a clear tier separation between the top two contenders and the remainder of the elite roster. Updated 27 Jul 2026.
