Elo would also rank

In Elo's top 16 at this weight, on the UFC roster (a UFC bout in the last year), and on neither list
  1. Nina Nikolija Milošević 10-1 · last fought 1 Aug 2026 1,629 Elo #8

Checked twice a day and kept each time either list changes, so movement here is measured against the previous list we hold; until there is one, the arrows are the UFC's own. Ties are as the UFC publishes them. Elo is the tuned rating shown across the site.
