Gaethje SHUTS DOWN Topuria Rematch + UFC's New Meta AI Rankings

The UFC lightweight division just got even more interesting after newly crowned champion Justin Gaethje made it clear that he doesn't believe Ilia Topuria deserves an immediate rematch following their historic battle at the UFC White House card. Gaethje recently doubled down on his position, saying Topuria needs to earn another title shot before getting a second crack at the belt. On this episode of Weighing In, Josh Thomson & John Morgan break down the future of the lightweight division, whether Topuria should get an immediate rematch, and who deserves the next shot at Gaethje. We also discuss the UFC's brand-new Meta rankings system. The new rankings are generated using an Elo-based mathematical model developed with Meta and have already sparked major debate among fans and fighters due to some surprising placements throughout the rankings. Are the new rankings better than the old media-voted system? Has the UFC improved the process, or have they created a whole new controversy?
