## How this service works

Official UFC.com athlete rankings by division: champion (if listed) and ranked athletes with rank number and athlete page link. Read from the public rankings page; no fight records or per-fight stats.

## Output

A JSON object containing the total count of matched records, the source URL (ufc.com/rankings), a timestamp of when rankings were checked, and an array of divisions — each with the division name, champion details (name and UFC profile URL), and an ordered list of ranked athletes (each with rank number, name, and UFC profile URL).
