Fans at Miami’s Kaseya Center were treated to what was possibly the best card of 2026 so far on Saturday, and one that sent ripples through the top of multiple divisions.
Let’s take a look at who made the biggest moves in the latest rankings update following UFC 327.
Ulberg Debuts on Pound-for-Pound List
After upsetting the odds to knock out Jiri Prochazka and claim the light heavyweight title in the opening round of Saturday’s main event, Carlos Ulberg (14-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) enters the pound-for-pound rankings at No. 15.
Former welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena drops off the list, while lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan climbs two spots to No. 13.
Borrachinha Breaks Into LHW Top 15
After delivering what Daniel Cormier called the best performance of his career against Azamat Murzakanov in Saturday’s co-main event, Paulo Costa (16-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) debuts at No. 7 in the light heavyweight rankings.
“The Eraser” also remains ranked at middleweight, where he slips one spot to No. 15.
After suffering the first loss of his career against Costa, Murzakanov (16-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) falls two spots to No. 8 in the light heavyweight rankings.
“The Incredible Hok” Cracks Top 5
After dominating headlines during fight week with his WWE-style antics, Josh Hokit (9-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) backed it up with an exceptional performance in his win over Curtis Blaydes on fight night.
Not only did he earn $200K in performance bonuses and a spot on the upcoming White House event, but “The Incredible Hok” also broke into the top five of the heavyweight rankings after just three UFC appearances.
Pico Enters Featherweight Rankings
Former Bellator standout Aaron Pico (14-5 MMA, 1-1 UFC) erased the memory of his knockout loss to Lerone Murphy in his UFC debut last year with a polished performance against Patricio Pitbull on Saturday night.
With his first win inside the Octagon, Pico enters the featherweight rankings at No. 13, pushing Pitbull down two spots to No. 15.
Josh Emmett, who recently lost to Kevin Vallejos, drops out of the rankings.
Gamrot on the Rise
After securing the sixth submission win of his career against Esteban Ribovics on Saturday, Mateusz Gamrot (26-4 MMA, 9-4 UFC) moves up one spot to No. 7 in the latest lightweight rankings.
