MMA Fighter Ranking Explanations

This website uses statistics and results to rank players. It does not use opinion/bias to rank players.

All-Time Fighter Rankings

An ELO rating system is used to rank the fighters.

The fighters receive a rating that is not posted on the website.

The rating for boxers is the average rank of their 7 best years + a fraction of the average ranking for all qualifying years.

Fighters receive a penalty to their ranking for every year under 7 qualifying years.

Fighters By Nation

The rating used to rank the fighters is the same as the all-time rankings.

The fighters are listed in the rankings of the nation they were born in and not the nation that they grew up in.

Fighters By State

The rating used to rank the fighters is the same as the all-time rankings.

The fighters are listed in the rankings of the state they were born in and not the state that they grew up in.
