2025: The First Year Every UFC Champion Changed

[JAL]

Every UFC title has changed hands in 2025.

• HW: Tom Aspinall became champion.
• LHW: Alex Pereira lost the belt to Ankalaev, then regained it ... but the title still changed hands.
• MW: Khamzat became champion.
• WW: Jack Della Maddalena and Islam both held the title during the year.
• LW: Ilia became champion.
• FW: Volk became Champ
• BW: Petr Yan became champion.
• FLW: Joshua Van became champion.

Is 2025 the only year where every division had a new champion?

Almost. Valentina Shevchenko kept her belt this year but the WSW and WBW titles changed as well.

I mean you could look at it as Valentina being the only champion male or female to keep their title this year but you had to go full retard.

You nailed it. What a dumbass hot take. Sounds like one of those guys living in their grandmother’s basement, who is a virgin, hating on WMMA. Pathetic.
