Where the Featherweight division stood when 2025 finished, taken from the 86 ranking tables the UFC published for it that year. This is the archive, not today’s table — the current Featherweight rankings are one click away.
The last Featherweight table the UFC published in 2025, dated 25 December 2025. The right-hand column is the change since 17 December 2024 — the table this page measures the year from.

A ranking here is a ranking the UFC published on that date, not our order and not a re-run of it.
Measured between the last table of 2024 on the record (17 December 2024) and the last table of 2025 (25 December 2025).
Entering and leaving are counted across the whole published table, the champion line included, so a fighter who won the belt during the year is not double-counted as having left the numbered places. The number beside each name is where they sat on the table that names them. Movement inside the year that had reversed itself by December is not counted here — the division page’s week-by-week slider is where every table in between lives.
A year gets a page here only where the UFC published at least 10 Featherweight tables in it. A year with three or four tables in it is the year a division opened or closed, and a “what changed this year” section built on three weeks in December would be titled as something it is not.
