These fighters have either announced their retirement or have been released from their UFC contracts over the course of the last month. If their release has not been announced, then they have been listed here based upon their removal from the UFC's roster. == Recent signings ==

The UFC rankings are rated by a panel made up of MMA media members. The panel votes for the top active fighters in the UFC by both weight class and pound-for-pound. A fighter can be ranked in multiple divisions simultaneously in divisions they have competed in. The champions and interim champions are placed in the top positions of their respective weight classes and only the champions are eligible to be voted for in the pound-for-pound rankings. The rankings for the UFC's fighters are recorded and updated when information is obtained from the UFC's website. If the website is not updated, the updated data from the UFC's official app will be used instead. Updated as of April 28, 2026, after UFC Fight Night: Sterling vs. Zalal. ==Current champions, weight classes and status==
