Regina Tarin and Jalin Turner both cracked the UFC’s top 15 in the latest Meta rankings update, released Monday following Noche UFC in Glendale, Arizona.
Tarin enters women’s flyweight at No. 12, the spot JJ Aldrich held before Tarin beat her by unanimous decision on the Noche UFC prelims. All three judges scored it 29-28.
Turner slots in at No. 15 at lightweight. He wasn’t on Saturday’s card, but the Elo-based Meta system recalculates every division weekly, and his last outing was a 39-second stoppage of Kaue Fernandes at UFC 330 in Philadelphia on August 15. That was his second straight first-round finish since returning from a brief retirement in 2025.
Curtis Blaydes was the week’s biggest mover, climbing four spots at heavyweight after a unanimous decision over Waldo Cortes-Acosta. Blaydes sat at No. 11 going into the fight.
Alexa Grasso moved up one place to No. 2 at women’s flyweight after outpointing Manon Fiorot, who dropped two spots to No. 4. Erin Blanchfield gained a spot at No. 3, and Natalia Silva holds at No. 1.
Brandon Moreno picked up a spot at flyweight following his split decision over Joseph Morales, snapping a two-fight skid. Jean Silva moved up one at featherweight after submitting Jose Miguel Delgado in the third round of the main event.
The Meta rankings replaced the media panel as the UFC’s official system in June and update automatically on the Monday after every event. The previous update reshaped six divisions, and the media panel rankings remain on the site through the transition.
