This Week’s Official Rankings Update — Early 2026

Another week into the new year, and the Power Rankings continue to reshape the United Toughness Alliance landscape. The post–Brand New Day reset is no longer theoretical — it’s taking form. Momentum is beginning to separate contenders from survivors, and for the first time in 2026, one name now stands alone at the top.

The New #1

#1 — Kairo Bex — 10.00 pts

Kairo Bex has taken full control of the early 2026 rankings.

With 10.00 points, Bex breaks away from the pack and becomes the first true standalone #1 of the new season. After riding momentum out of Brand New Day, he has now proven it wasn’t a flash — it was a foundation. Right now, Kairo Bex is setting the pace for the entire roster.

The Chase Begins

#2 — Chris Ross — 9.00 pts

Chris Ross remains exactly where you would expect — near the top and gaining ground. Sitting just one point behind Bex, Ross continues to be the most consistent threat in the early rankings. If anyone is positioned to overtake the new leader, it’s Ross.

The Three-Way Deadlock at #3

#3 (TIE) — Selena Vex — 8.00 pts

#3 (TIE) — Rosa Delgado — 8.00 pts

#3 (TIE) — Valentina Blaze — 8.00 pts

The women’s division continues to define early 2026.

• Selena Vex remains one of the biggest early breakout stars, maintaining her elite placement from Brand New Day.
• Rosa Delgado continues her strong start, proving her early surge was no accident.
• Valentina Blaze rounds out the tie, keeping pace with the leaders and remaining firmly in the title conversation.

Three competitors. Same score. One inevitable separation coming.

Closing In

#6 — Clovis Black — 7.25 pts

Clovis Black continues to climb steadily, now firmly embedded in the upper tier. His consistent output week-to-week has quietly made him one of the most dangerous climbers on the board.

Mid-Board Momentum

#7 — Trey Mack — 5.25 pts

Trey Mack continues his upward push, separating himself from the mid-tier cluster. He’s not yet in the elite group — but he’s closer than he’s been all year.

#8 (TIE) — Hakuryu — 5.00 pts

#8 (TIE) — Gunnar Van Patton — 5.00 pts

A fascinating tie.

• Hakuryu remains a constant threat, his presence alone keeping him relevant near the top.
• Gunnar Van Patton, after finishing 2025 among the elite, is rebuilding momentum in this new landscape. He’s not leading yet — but he’s climbing.

The Contender Cluster

#10 (TIE) — Marie Van Claudio — 4.00 pts

#10 (TIE) — Amy Harrison — 4.00 pts

#10 (TIE) — Dahlia Cross — 4.00 pts

Three dangerous names sit just outside the main pack.

• Marie Van Claudio continues her steady presence, never far from relevance.
• Amy Harrison maintains consistency as she looks to push back into the upper tier.
• Dahlia Cross remains a quiet but persistent threat, building point by point.

What This Week Tells Us

• Kairo Bex has emerged as the early face of 2026.
• Chris Ross remains the most reliable challenger.
• The women’s division is dominating the upper rankings.
• Clovis Black is quietly becoming a major factor.
• Gunnar Van Patton is rebuilding toward elite status.
• The Top 10 remains tight — and volatile.

The reset phase of 2026 is ending.
The hierarchy is forming.
And the chase for the year has officially begun.
