Dunno, depends on who's fighting the rest of the year

125-Pantoja

135- Merab might fight Sandhagen this year and will probably win

145- Yair might beat Volk but probably won't fight Evloev this year

155-Topuria will beat Charles and won't fight again this year

170- Islam will beat JDM probalby in the fall and that'll be it for the year

185-Khamzat

205-Ank

265-Tom will either beat Jon, or Jon will be stripped and he'll fight Gane.


End of 2026 will be a different story. Merab will probably lose to Umar sometime next year, Yair will lose his first defense, Topuria will lose to Arman if they ever fight, Islam will probably retire before the end of next year, Khamzat will probably be champ for a couple years, Ank will to, Tom will have to start rematching more guys he's already beaten.

 

[Shaolin Alan]

265: Cyril Gane (if Tum stops ducking him)

 

[MMAFanCal]

Pantoja
Merab
Volk
Ilia
Islam
Dricus (I know it is not popular, but Khamzat ain't beating Dricus)
Ankalaev
Aspinall (No one is touching Aspinall once Jones is stripped and Aspinall becomes the rightful champion)

 

[Thy]

125: bob
135: doug
145: fred
155: albert
170: garfield
185: bob
205: bob
265 (undisputed): tom or bob... yes bob will be a 4 division champ after get gets cancer in his left big toe and ko's people with it cause it increases his kicking distance by 12 inches.

 

[Michael Wetzel]

125: Pajonta
135: Merab
145: Yair
155: Ilia
175: JDM
185: Khamzat
205: Alex
265: Aspinall, although Jones will not have lost
W135: Kayla
W125: Valentina
W115: Virna (Weili will move up to 125 to challenge Val and lose)
