Rankings as of 11 October 2026 — official UFC rankings, refreshed weekly from UFC.com. Pulled 11 Oct, 14:28 UTC. These are the UFC’s own rankings, taken from ufc.com/rankings — we did not invent them and we do not adjust them. The UFC updates the table weekly; ours refreshes when we re-pull the page, so a ranking here can lag theirs by a few days.Faces, records and scores are ours — see how the scores work.

Movement compares 22 September 2026 with 6 October 2026 — the two most recent weeks in our rankings archive. The table above is the newer live table of 11 October 2026, so a fighter who moved after 6 October 2026 carries no arrow: where the two disagree about where that fighter stands, we draw nothing rather than an arrow pointing at the wrong number.

These rows are the official table of 11 October 2026. Under each name: the fighter’s last UFC bout from the official statistical record; their movement between the two archive tables named above; and our own graded record on their 2026 fights, with a link to each call. We publish no forecast here — a fight that has not happened has no line on this page.

Every table since 2013

Slide back through every Women's Strawweight table the UFC has published since the rankings began — 542 of them, 15 December 2014 to 6 October 2026. Drag the handle, or click it and use the arrow keys to step a table at a time.

6 October 2026 table 542 of 542
2014 2026

The table at the top of this page is the live one of 11 October 2026. The newest stop below is 6 October 2026, the newest table in our rankings archive, so the two can differ by a place or two. Both are the UFC’s own tables; they are different weeks.

Official UFC.com official rankings · 542 published tables, 15 December 2014 to 6 October 2026

One stop on the slider is one published table, not one calendar week — the UFC has missed weeks, and every weight division has holes of a month or more in it. Where the table you have landed on sits the far side of one of those holes the panel says so, rather than sliding through weeks nobody published. Arrows compare the table on screen with the one published before it; a fighter who was not in that earlier table is marked NEW. Nothing here is interpolated: every row is a row the UFC published on the date shown.

Who climbed, who fell

Every women's strawweight fighter the UFC has ever put in this table, drawn through the tables themselves — 49 of them across 542 published weeks. The chart opens on the last 3 years; Full history pulls it back to 15 December 2014.

Hover or tab a line to pick a fighter out of it. Move the slider above and a marker follows it across the chart.

Official UFC.com official rankings · 542 published tables, 15 December 2014 to 6 October 2026

One step across is one published table, so the spacing is real time and the holes in it are real: where the UFC published nothing for a month or more, the line stops and starts again rather than being drawn through weeks nobody published. A line begins where a fighter enters the fifteen and ends where that fighter leaves it, and both ends carry a dot. The lane above number one is the champion, kept off the numbered ladder because a belt is not a rank; a week the title was vacant has nobody in that lane. Names down the right are the fifteen in the newest table on record — every other line gives its name when you hover it or reach it with the keyboard. Nothing here is interpolated: every corner is a rank the UFC published on the date under it.

The rankings, year by year

One page per year: the last table the UFC published in it, who entered the rankings across it, who left, and every change in the champion line. Server-rendered from the same archive the slider above plays through.

Years with fewer than 10 published tables have no page of their own — that is the year a division opened or closed, and there is not a year of rankings in it to summarise.

Official UFC.com official rankings · 542 published tables, 15 December 2014 to 6 October 2026

Every row is read off the champion line of the published tables and nothing else, so weeks are weeks on the published tables — one table, one week. Where the archive holds no table for a month or more the weeks inside that hole are counted in neither column; the reign is not broken by it, because there was no table for anybody else to be in. This is the undisputed title. The source puts an interim champion inside the numbered list rather than on the champion line, so an interim reign is not a row here — that is how the tables are published and we have not rewritten them. A reign already running when the first table appeared in February 2013 is marked: the record cannot see when it started, so we do not print a date for it.
