The rankings have been updated following the third UFC event of the yr this past weekend.
Some performances from UFC Vegas 113 were highlighted after the primary trip to the Meta Apex in 2026.
Nonetheless, there weren’t nearly as many talking points within the aftermath of the event, which isn’t surprising after we were treated to back-to-back numbered cards.
This wasn’t the case for Alex Pereira, who campaigned for his former opponent to earn a rating after watching him record a 3rd straight knockout win.
The sunshine heavyweight champion’s calls have been answered by the update to the rankings that was issued on February tenth.

Dustin Jacoby is closing in on the sunshine heavyweight division’s record for finishes contained in the Octagon following his return this past weekend.
He’s bounced back in impressive fashion from back-to-back losses to stop all three of his last opponents.
Having previously faced Alex Pereira in kickboxing, the American’s victory over Julius Walker on Saturday night has now seen him enter the rankings on the #14 spot.
Jacoby was removed from the largest winner by way of the rankings, with that award going to a heavyweight.
Fans weren’t completely satisfied with Jailton Almeida’s performance, however the fighter who beat him, Rizvan Kuniev, won’t care an excessive amount of about that.
Taking out a top name like Almeida has seen him skyrocket up the heavyweight ladder, going from unranked to the #6 contender within the division.
