A record-by-record tour of the UFC women's strawweight ladder — who sits at the summit, who's one step from a title shot, and where the intrigue lives.
Women’s strawweight is one of the deepest divisions on the board right now, and the numbers tell the story. At the summit sits champion Mackenzie Dern of Brazil, carrying a 16-5-0 record into her reign. Below her, the contender pool is stacked with names who have lost only a handful of times across long careers — which is exactly why this ladder is so much fun to read.
The two figures staring hardest at the belt are #1 Zhang Weili (26-4-0) of China and #2 Tatiana Suarez (13-1-0) of the USA. Zhang’s win column is enormous — 26 victories — and that volume of experience makes her the most proven name in the mix behind the champion. Suarez tells a different but equally loud story: a 13-1-0 record means she has been beaten just once in her entire career, the tightest loss column anywhere near the top. If you want the sharpest title picture in the division, it starts with these two.
What jumps out scanning the rest of the top ten is how much of it is Brazilian. Alongside champion Dern, you have #3 Virna Jandiroba (23-4-0), #6 Amanda Lemos (15-6-1), #8 Tabatha Ricci (12-4-0), and #9 Jessica Andrade (26-15-0) — a whole cluster of contenders from the same country crowding the ladder. Jandiroba’s 23-4-0 is the standout of that group, a heavy win total paired with only four losses, which explains her #3 perch. Andrade, meanwhile, owns the busiest résumé in the entire ranking: 26-15-0, forty-one pro fights logged. That is a fighter who has been in with everyone.
Between the Brazilians sit the two Chinese contenders and a Canadian: #4 Yan Xiaonan (19-5-0) and #5 Gillian Robertson (17-8-0) round out the upper half, both with plenty of wins on the board.
The intrigue in this division lives in the climbers.
A few names in the ranking — #10 Amanda Ribas and #15 Mizuki — hold their spots on the ladder without a full line here, so keep an eye on the official listings as their divisions of the card fill in.
The shape of this division is clear: a Brazilian champion defending against a top two of Zhang Weili and Tatiana Suarez, whose combined records — 26-4 and 13-1 — make them the most dangerous pairing chasing the belt. Behind them, a wall of Brazilian contenders and a pair of single-loss risers keep the middle of the ladder unsettled.
This is a division that rewards paying attention. Follow the strawweight cards, watch how the risers handle the veterans, and build your bracket before the next card locks in — the movement here is far from over.
