The third UFC event of 2026 gave fans their first look at the newly refurbished and recently renamed Meta Apex in Las Vegas, as the promotion returned home from Sydney with a fight card that delivered standout performances and caused notable movement across multiple divisions.
Let’s take a look at who made the biggest moves in the latest updated official rankings following UFC Vegas 113.
Bautista Back on Track
After returning to the win column in Saturday’s main event with a breathtaking submission victory over Vinicius Oliveira (23-4 MMA, 4-1 UFC), Mario Bautista (17-3 MMA, 11-3 UFC) climbed one spot to No. 8 in the updated bantamweight rankings.
After suffering the first loss of his UFC career, Oliveira drops one place to No. 12.
New Contender in the Flyweight Division
Kyoji Horiguchi (36-5 MMA, 9-1 UFC) improved to 2-0 since his return to the UFC late last year with an impressive three-round performance against Amir Albazi (17-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) in Saturday’s co-main event.
The Japanese standout jumps three spots to No. 5 in the updated flyweight rankings and now enters the title conversation at 125 pounds, nearly 11 years after his first shot at the belt, when he was defeated by Demetrious Johnson at UFC 186.
After suffering his second consecutive loss inside the Octagon, Albazi falls one place to No. 7. “The Prince” has struggled with injuries in recent years and has not recorded a win since a split-decision victory over Kai Kara-France in June 2023.
New Addition to the Heavyweight Rankings
After earning the first win of his UFC career against Jailton Almeida on Saturday, Rizvan Kuniev (14-3-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) enters the heavyweight rankings at No. 6, while Almeida slides two spots to No. 8.
Tai Tuivasa (14-9 MMA, 8-9 UFC), who suffered his sixth straight loss last week against Tallison Teixeira at UFC 325, exits the rankings.
Jacoby Cracks the Top Fifteen
Former GLORY Kickboxing standout Dustin Jacoby (22-9-1 MMA, 10-6-1 UFC) continued his strong run at UFC Vegas 113, stopping Julius Walker (7-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) in the main card opener to secure his third consecutive knockout victory.
Jacoby debuts in the light heavyweight rankings at No. 14, while Alonzo Menifield drops out of the Top 15.
