Filipino combat sports journalist Nissi Icasiano reports that ONE Championship has removed atomweight, flyweight, and bantamweight from its official rankings.

𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗠𝗠𝗔 𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗗

This journalist has observed that three MMA divisions — atomweight, flyweight, and bantamweight — have been taken down from the ONE Championship rankings page on the official website.

It remains unclear whether this move is directly connected to the promotion’s recent wave of athlete releases.

Notably, ONE parted ways with No. 4-ranked atomweight contender Meng Bo, while No. 3-ranked bantamweight Kwon Won Il reportedly chose not to renew his contract. More recently, No. 4-rated flyweight Reece Mclaren was granted his release after repeatedly requesting it since the start of the year.

The absence of these rankings raises questions, particularly as four prominent Filipino mixed martial artists compete in these affected weight classes.

Denice Zamboanga currently reigns as the ONE Women’s Atomweight MMA World Champion. Even though the division’s rankings have been removed, she still holds the title.

The bantamweight MMA bracket features Stephen Loman and Jeremy Pacatiw, who hold the No. 2 and No. 5 spots, respectively. In the flyweight MMA ranks, Danny Kingad sits at No. 2.

As of now, only the strawweight and featherweight MMA rankings remain visible on the ONE website.

UPDATE: A PR representative from ONE Championship reached out to me about this, explaining that it was a "technical glitch" and that the rankings will be "reinstated" on the website.
