This Week’s Official Rankings — Early 2026

The latest United Toughness Alliance Power Rankings show that the early story of 2026 is becoming clearer. While Chris Ross continues to control the top spot, the rest of the field is tightening rapidly behind him, with several competitors making aggressive pushes up the board.

This week’s rankings show momentum building across the roster, with several major risers beginning to challenge the early hierarchy of the new year.

#1 — Chris Ross — 17.25 pts

Chris Ross remains the man to beat.

Holding steady at 17.25 points, Ross continues to lead the 2026 Power Rankings and maintains the same total from last week. While the rest of the field continues to climb, Ross’ early dominance following Brand New Day has given him just enough breathing room to stay on top.

For now, Ross remains the pace setter of the new season.

#2 — Hakuryu — 16.00 pts

The biggest climber near the top this week is Hakuryu.

Now sitting at 16.00 points, Hakuryu has surged into second place and sits just over a point behind Ross. His strong recent performances have placed him firmly in the championship conversation as one of the most dangerous forces currently active in UTA.

The gap between #1 and #2 is now razor thin.

#3 — Valentina Blaze — 14.00 pts

Valentina Blaze continues her excellent start to 2026.

With 14.00 points, Blaze remains firmly entrenched in the upper tier and continues to prove that her early-season breakout was no fluke. Each week she continues to accumulate points and position herself closer to the summit.

#4 — Maxx Mayhem — 11.50 pts

Maxx Mayhem continues his steady climb back into the elite tier.

At 11.50 points, Mayhem has regained momentum after a slower start to the year. When Mayhem finds rhythm, the entire board tends to feel the impact, and this week suggests that momentum may be building again.

#5 (TIE) — Troy Lindz — 11.00 pts
#5 (TIE) — Gunnar Van Patton — 11.00 pts

A tie for fifth shows just how tight the middle of the rankings has become.

Troy Lindz continues his steady resurgence in 2026, now sitting squarely in the upper half of the rankings.

Gunnar Van Patton, one of the breakout stars of late 2025, continues to remain relevant in the early months of the new year. His presence in the Top 5 keeps him firmly in the contender conversation.

#7 — Dahlia Cross — 10.50 pts

Dahlia Cross continues to build momentum week by week.

Now at 10.50 points, Cross is quietly becoming one of the most dangerous climbers on the board. She sits just half a point outside the Top 5 and remains one strong performance away from breaking into that tier.

#8 (TIE) — Selena Vex — 10.00 pts
#8 (TIE) — Rosa Delgado — 10.00 pts

The early Brand New Day standouts remain firmly in the mix.

Selena Vex and Rosa Delgado continue to mirror each other in the standings, each sitting at 10.00 points. Both remain within striking distance of the upper tier and could easily climb higher with a strong showing in the coming weeks.

#10 — Amy Harrison — 9.00 pts

Rounding out the Top 10 is Amy Harrison with 9.00 points.

Harrison remains firmly in contention and sits just one point behind the Vex/Delgado tie. With the rankings so tightly packed from positions three through ten, Harrison is far from out of the hunt.

What This Week Reveals

• Chris Ross continues to lead the early 2026 standings.
• Hakuryu has surged into serious contention for the top spot.
• The middle of the board—from #3 through #8—is extremely tight.
• Maxx Mayhem and Troy Lindz are gaining momentum.
• The Brand New Day breakouts are still very much alive in the race.

With the standings tightening across the board, the next few weeks could dramatically reshape the 2026 race.

For now, however, one thing remains unchanged:

Chris Ross still leads the pack.
