PFL launches rankings

PFL announced on Jan. 27, 2026 that it has introduced an official rankings system covering men's pound-for-pound plus each weight class through women's flyweight.

The promotion says the lists were developed with Combat Registry and will be overseen by an independent panel of journalists and industry experts, though panel members were not named.

Initial standings were released, with Usman Nurmagomedov listed atop the pound-for-pound group and Vadim Nemkov leading the heavyweight category, among other division leaders.

The company characterized the move as part of a shift toward a more conventional promotion model, reportedly aiming for greater transparency in fighter placement.

Full rankings across all divisions were published as part of the rollout; readers are directed to the original report for the complete lists and further details.
