UTA Power Rankings: The Field Tightens as the Road Beyond International Affair Begins
Official Power Rankings Update
The dust has begun to settle following International Affair, and this week's Power Rankings paint a picture of a roster entering its next phase. While Hakuryu continues to sit atop the mountain, the battle beneath him remains fierce as contenders jockey for position heading into the latter half of the season.
The top of the board remains familiar, but the names chasing it continue to evolve.
#1 — Hakuryu — 37.00 pts
Hakuryu remains the undisputed leader of the Power Rankings.
Holding steady at 37.00 points, the Fighting Champion continues to set the standard in UTA. While several challengers have emerged throughout the year, none have yet been able to mount a serious challenge to his position atop the board.
For another week, the crown remains his.
#2 — Trey Mack — 28.00 pts
Trey Mack remains firmly entrenched in second place.
At 28.00 points, Mack continues to enjoy one of the strongest seasons of his career. Though the gap between himself and Hakuryu remains significant, he has successfully separated himself from the pack beneath him and continues to establish himself as one of UTA's premier competitors.
#3 — Maxwell Jett — 25.00 pts
Maxwell Jett continues his resurgence.
Now sitting at 25.00 points, Jett remains in the Top Three and continues to build momentum following his rise coming out of International Affair. The veteran competitor has proven he remains a major force in UTA and shows no signs of slowing down.
The higher he climbs, the harder he becomes to ignore.
#4 — Eric Dane Jr. — 19.50 pts
Eric Dane Jr. remains firmly in the upper tier.
At 19.50 points, Dane Jr. continues to maintain his position despite significant competition around him. While he has not experienced the dramatic surges seen by some competitors above him, his consistency continues to keep him among UTA's elite.
#5 — Chris Ross — 17.00 pts
Chris Ross rebounds slightly this week.
Now at 17.00 points, Ross remains one of the most dangerous competitors on the roster despite falling from the lofty heights he occupied earlier in the year. The talent and pedigree remain unquestioned, and many around UTA believe it is only a matter of time before Ross begins another climb toward the top.
#6 — Emily Hightower — 16.75 pts
Emily Hightower continues her impressive rise.
Holding sixth place with 16.75 points, Hightower has become one of the breakout performers of the current rankings cycle. Week after week she continues to prove she belongs among the promotion's top names.
#7 — Clovis Black — 16.50 pts
Clovis Black remains right behind Hightower.
At 16.50 points, Black continues one of the steadiest climbs in UTA. While his rise has rarely been flashy, the results speak for themselves. He remains within touching distance of the competitors ahead of him and continues to gain ground.
#8 — Bianca Page — 15.25 pts
Bianca Page remains firmly inside the Top Ten.
With 15.25 points, Page continues to stay relevant despite increased competition throughout the rankings. The middle of the board remains incredibly compressed, meaning one strong performance could propel her several positions upward.
#9 — Valkyrie Knox — 14.00 pts
Valkyrie Knox returns to the Power Rankings.
Now sitting at 14.00 points, Knox reenters the Top Ten and immediately becomes a factor in an increasingly crowded field. Her presence adds another dangerous name to an already competitive rankings race.
Few competitors are more capable of climbing quickly.
#10 — Lindsey Lothario — 12.50 pts
Lindsey Lothario rounds out the rankings this week.
At 12.50 points, Lothario remains inside the Top Ten despite fierce competition beneath her. While others have surged around her, she continues to maintain a foothold and remains well within striking distance of the competitors ahead.
