Alice Pereira enters UFC rankings as youngest female fighter, Brendan Allen rises to fourth

Alice Pereira made history by becoming the youngest woman to rank in the UFC, debuting at number twelve in the bantamweight division following a TKO victory over Darya Zheleznyakova at UFC Vegas 122. Pereira, who is 20 years old, breaks the previous record held by Maycee Barber. In the middleweight division, Brendan Allen secured a late submission win against Christian Leroy Duncan, rising to fourth in the rankings, behind champions Sean Strickland and others. Loopy Godinez also saw significant movement, advancing three spots after narrowly defeating Ketlen Souza. Updated rankings reflect these results and may shift further as upcoming fights approach.
