UFC Rankings FAQ | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
* These rankings are not official, nor do they reflect any affiliation with, sponsorship, or endorsement by the UFC. The rankings generated by the UFC can be found here. | ||||
UFC Rankings are comprised of all fighters currently signed to the UFC. RankingMMA has been publishing UFC rankings since 2006. So, how do we compile our rankings? What separates us from other web sites that formulate rankings? We are the only source that uses computerized analytics rankings system & actual fight footage to determine rankings similar. The reason we do this is to avoid ranking bias. By using analytics, fighters are scored no matter their popularity or hype. From there, tiers are created and fighters are ranked from within those tiers. Here is the rankings criteria that encompasses a fighter ranking: - Most recent performance - Performance against top competition - Estimated ability against future competition - Strength of competition - Activity in the last 3 years - Last 5 fights There are many fighters sporting undefeated records from developing fight scenes, especially abroad. Something we take into consideration is the strength of competition they have faced. If a fighter has compiled a bunch of wins against competition that is lackluster they will likely have a difficult time moving up in the rankings until they face stiffer competition in order for us to accurately predict how they would perform against exceedingly tougher competition. If a fighter has fought elite competition and fallen short, we factor in how they performed. If a fighter fairs well against a higher-ranked adversary, they could still move up in the rankings. Actual fight footage is reviewed, regardless of promotion in order to formulate our rankings. = Fighter moves up in the rankings after recent fight = Fighter moves down in the rankings after recent fight Reasons a fighter is ineligible for UFC Rankings = Inactivity over 15 months = Changing weight classes. A fighter must debut in their new weight class in order to officially be ranked there. Upon their debut, they will be removed from their former weight class. If the fighter temporarily competed outside of their division, they will be ranked in their primary division unless the fighter states different. = Suspension. Should a fighter be suspended for performance enhancing substances or fighter conduct, they will be removed from the rankings. = Info Needed. A fighter has signed or re-signed with the UFC, but have yet to officially fight in the UFC. |
Loik Radzhabov beat Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady via KO not DEC
Brad Riddell, like Michael Chandler, has also surpassed 15 months of inactivity.
Updated, thank you.
Feels like Tony Ferguson is way overrated. Loser of SEVEN straight fights. Uncompetitive in almost every single one of those fights, finished in 4 of them. I’d imagine we’d all agree that in a fight against someone like Terrence McKinney or Mateusz Rebecki, he would be beaten into a complete pulp, yet is ranked higher than both those guys, despite being total and complete dog arse now.
Michael Chandler as of today is at 15 months of inactivity
Updated, thank you.
Probably time to return Gabriel Benitez into the rankings considering he fought 10 days ago and lost to Jim Miller
Arman is Armenian not a damn Russian and he always represents ARMENIA!
Sherdog and Tapology both have Russia listed, but as you mentioned Armenia seems to be listed elsewhere.
Time for you to update Darrius flowers: he lost to Jake Matthews and should be ranked in there somewhere
why is Diego Ferreira ranked 10? he just beat Johnson who wasn’t ranked and Diego has been away for to long. pretty bad choice
Why is Arman under the Russian flag? He clearly fights under the Armenian flag because he’s Armenian.
Totally Agree!!
Michael Johnson is 21-19 not 21-18 (following KO loss to CDF) – Also, as of today Joel Alvarez is officially at 15 months of inactivity
So Alex Reyes hasn’t had a fight in 6 years, yet still listed?
https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2023/01/ufc-news-alex-reyes-returns-back-train-osteomyelitis
Probably time to add Kevin Lee in here considering he’s been re-signed by the UFC
Rafael Alves was released last week.
Zubaira Tukhugov was released like a month ago, mate.
Omar Morales is 3-4 in the UFC, with his latest loss being DEC to Chris Duncan.
Chris Gruetzmacher has officially surpassed 15 months of inactivity.
Rick Glenn passed 15 months. Take out of ranking
Also why not update Kyle nelson? He 1-4-1 now after draw with Choi. That fight happen on 4th of Feb. come on Mate you so slow to update my god
Ricky Glenn has officially surpassed 15 months of inactivity
Your website is displaying errors. Go to wp-config.php file in your file manager and set this as false –
define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
Rick Glenn has surpassed 15 months of inactvity
Ontiveros, VanCamp, Ronson, Mustafaev all released last week in the blood bath.
All updated, thank you!
Magomed Mustafaev was released last week
updated, thank you!
Where Nate Diaz?
He was on the last fight of his UFC contract, now a free agent.
passed 15 months without fighting
Jesse Ronson’s “win” vs Dalby has been overturned to a No Contest after he tested positive for a banned diuretic. And no way should he be ranked ahead of guys like Damir Hadzovic, Omar Morales, or Gabriel Benitez
The win was overturned, but it is still considered within his current rank.
And just. Like. That. Ronson’s busted bum ass was released yesterday. (Along with Charlie Ontiveros, Cameron VanCamp & Magomed Mustafaev)
The case for Chandler ahead of Makhachev is a perilous one. Makhachev is 11-1 in the UFC, with 11 consecutive wins, 4 straight via finish. His best win (Tsarukyan) handily trumps Chandler’s best win: KO’s of two completely washed bums, Hooker and Ferguson.
Where is Beneil Dariush? He is as far as I know a top 10 lightweight
He has been out of action for 15 months, so currently unranked.
100% agreed. Chandler ahead of Makhachev is f’ing autistic
Mason Jones was not resigned yesterday after his contract expired
Leonardo Santos retired today
Alan Patrick was released 3 days ago
Updated, ty
Gregor Gillespie has officially surpassed 15 months of inactivity.
Hi mate it appears Vyacheslav Borschev does not have a name or face there at #60
Don Madge signed with PFL 2 days ago.
Thank you, removed.
In February 2020, White got listed as a former fighter on the UFC website.[29][30] – PER WIKI
Thank you updated.
Alex Gorgees was release in 2019
https://www.fightnewsaustralia.com/alex-gorgees-suspended-for-16-month-following-usada-sanction/
Thank you, site updated. appreciate the source as well.
Hi bro, Luis Peña only defeated alex muñoz 1 time, not twice.
Updated, thank you!
Damir Ismagulov is 20-1 not 20-2
Now he has him at 23-1 lol what
Thank you for the call out. Often times once a fighter signs with the UFC, whatever is on their current regional record is what’s inputted. If fights are changed/added afterwards, I do my best to track in Excel and transfer here. Thanks again.
Damir next champion strong, strike not 20-2 really fight 23-1 lost design sued the fighter.
Hi! Can you explain why Teemu Packalen & Jessin Ayari are still listed yet have both been released long ago?
Howdy, Alexander Yakovlev was released by the UFC last week.
Hey giving a random update: Matt Wiman was released from the UFC.
Hey fellas, recent development, Teemu Packalen’s contract expired and according to sources he has no interest in continuing his MMA career as of now. Might be best to remove him from the rankings all together.
Hi, thank you for the update. According to the article, looks like he is still signed, but contemplating retirement. If you find any newer source beyond this, please let me know: https://www.mtvuutiset.fi/artikkeli/ufc-ottelija-teemu-packalenin-paluun-tiella-henkisia-esteita-jotka-eivat-saata-vaistya-koskaan-ollut-niin-saatanan-raskasta-ja-synkkaa/7948048
Love the list but I think you should move Hernandez down. I get that he’s got a win over Dariush but Dariush is fighting much better than him right now and Dariush also has a win over Dober who is above him.
I fully agree that Dariush deserves a bump based off his 5-fight winning streak. Currently, it’s just level of competition holding Dariush back as his best win is Dober who you are right recently beat Hernandez. Issue is when Dariush faced Dober, Dober was nowhere close to the top ranked fighter he is now. Hernandez’s wins, all within the last 3 years, over Mercier & Trinaldo, both Top 30 fighters at the time, and the win over Dariush, who was Top 15 at the time, still give him the slight nod as nearly everytime fighters are ranked close, the head-to-head will get the leg up, especially if that fight was within the last 3 years. Appreciate the argument otherwise, and I would not be surprised to see Dariush break into the Top 10 with another quality win.
where’s the notorious ???
Hi Yudhi, McGregor is unranked at Lightweight because of his move to Welterweight and subsequent retirement. McGregor’s return continues to be mentioned at Welterweight, so until we can get confirmation on a return to 155, he’ll remain unranked. Thank you for your comment.
Not giving you guys shit for this, but Evan Dunham was dropped by the UFC awhile back.
Omg by bro Rafael Fiziev at 27 i hope he ll be in top 10. Next year ))
Mitch Clark at 45 isn’t right.
Sooooooo, Cerrone moves above Khabib who dominated Dos Anjos who dominated Cerrone and is #2 because he beat Alvarez (he may be considered a contender, but it has never been proven)? I don’t get that logic. I get RDA moving to second even though he lost to Khabib on account of Khabib’s inactivity, but I don’t see how Cerrone can move above Khabib until he either beats him or someone ranked above him (i.e. Not Eddie Alvarez).
Kevin Lee – 6 wins over absolutely no one, no UFC wins; Norman Parke – 3 legit UFC wins, a draw against a BJJ world champ who was on a 6 fight win streak and TUF Brazil winner which many thought he won and without it he’d be on a 9 fight win streak. How on heaven’s earth can he be ranked under Kevin Lee????
Kevin Lee is ranked WAY too high … he’s done absolutely nothing.
Lee does hold a win over Mansour Barnaoui, who is considered one of the top Lightweights prospects in the world right now. Lee looked pretty darn good against Iaquinta as well. Parke is on a solid winning streak, but the jury is still on whether he can beat an accomplished wrestler. Parke should have gotten the decision over Santos. I definitely will go back and look at their last few fights to see if I have Lee ranked too high.
He is moving to Featherweight, and because he officially has been booked for a fight at 145 lbs. he was removed from the Lightweight rankings. His profile can now be found in the Featherweight rankings.
Miles Jury needs to be moved up. Handed ‘Menace’ a whooping and is now 4-0 in ufc.
I understand ranking him above Johnson due to his dominating win over him, but do you think Jury should be ranked ahead of Lauzon, Tibau, Barboza, Masvidal, and Pearson as well?
Let me see what your 11-20 rankings would look like, so I can have a better idea of what you’re thinking. The way I see it is Johnson leapfrogged a bunch of guys because of his win over Lauzon, who was clearly Top 15 at the time, thanks to finish wins over Varner and Guillard.
It seems odd that Michael Johnson is so much higher than Jury, no?
I could definitely see the argument that Johnson should be lower in the rankings, but then I would have to drop Lauzon as well, who has recent finish victories over Varner and Guillard. Jury is a top notch talent, but ranking him above guys like Tibau, Varner, Barboza, Pearson, etc. is probably just a bit too soon for him.
The Lauzon win was huge for Johnson and gave him a big push up the ranks. Meanwhile, Jury has sort of been stuck in neutral. He picked up a dominant win over Ramsey Nijem, but that doesn’t mean a whole lot. Even a win over Ricci won’t move Jury up the ranks too much. Wins over lesser ranked competition just don’t mean as much as a win over Lauzon, which is why Johnson currently sits ahead of Jury.
Do you think Jury should be ranked ahead of the following: Gleison Tibau, Edson Barboza, Jamie Varner, Ross Pearson, Melvin Guillard, Jorge Masvidal, or Joe Lauzon. Jury is on the brink of a top ranking, but until he beats one of those guys I mentioned, he’s likely stuck around that 20-30 range.
If you want, provide me with your own Top 25 rankings, so I can maybe see how you would be ranking the division. Thanks for the comment.
Pat Healy’s suspension not accounted for?
(Suspended by NJSACB until July 19th, 2013)
Totally forgot, since Healy was included in the ufc.com/rankings, it slipped past me. Thanks for the save.
Khabib Nurmagomedov might be in a better position. Guys, look at his record… why he’s on 9th position in this rank, while fighters like Dos Anjos, Cerrone and Pettis are above it?
Nurmagomedov is not ranked above the guys you mentioned because he has yet to win consistently against top-level competition. His most notable win is over Gleison Tibau, but to most people who watched and scored that fight, it was a very controversial decision. His 19-0 record is remarkable, and I believe he has a very bright future in the sport. Khabib has been calling out Nate Diaz, and that is likely the type of fight that could propel him into title contention.
Why do you think Nurmagomedov should be ranked ahead of Anthony Pettis or Donald Cerrone? I would understand your argument for possibly ranking him above Dos Anjos, but the other guys not so much.
I liked this ranking a lot. Most people dont see dos Anjos so high but he has showed tremendous development on his last fights. Guillard is a little overated. But everything else looks great. Congratulations!
Thank you. Dos Anjos is on a solid winning streak and a lot of the other fringe contenders have suffered recent losses (Tibau, Dunham, Guillard, Barboza, Bocek). I think dos Anjos could surprise, his loss to Guida was due to injury, and that fight was going to be a close decision. Otherwise, the Tibau loss is dos Anjos’ only recent blemish.
I don’t see Guillard as even a top 15 lw. definately not a top 10.
Guillard’s winning streak in 2010 is the reason he hasn’t fallen farther. When Guillard finished Dunham, he was on the verge of a title shot. People forget that Dunham was scheduled to face Kenny Florian in what may have been a #1 contender fight for the LW division. Guillard’s only losses have come to the elite of the division (Diaz, Miller, Cerrone). All the fighters ranked below him have lost to lesser fighters in recent years. I do think Guillard is overrated, but the guys below him have never beaten a top guy.
To admin
Ive stuck in there with your site. Glad you have it running much better, good job bro. 🙂
Thank you for the support!
Q. What do you get if you cross a Jim Miller with a Nate Diaz A. a T.J.Grant
I was sleeping on Grant going into his fight with Dunham. Many people forget that he nearly knocked off Johny Hendricks at WW. Grant can do some damage at LW, and definitely can give guys like Guida, Lauzon, or Guillard a run for their money. Can’t wait for him to get a crack at a Top 10 fighter.
Nurmagomedov should be ranked ahead of Tibau,who could be ranked higher here.i think barboza is overrated at the moment.
The lightweight division from 10-20 is a complete mess. Nurmagomedov beat Tibau in a very debatable decision. Should Nurmagomedov be rewarded for that decision by being ranked above Rafael Dos Anjos, Jeremy Stephens, Sotiropoulos? At this point, Nurmagomedov moved up the ranks significantly with the close decision win, but I can’t justify putting him with the mid-tier elite of the division just yet.
Barboza’s ranking is overrated, but his skills aren’t. Barboza won a couple of close decisions over Pearson and Njokuani before the highlight-reel KO of Terry Etim. That knockout definitely had him on the verge of title contention. Considering the recent losses by Tibau, Stephens, and Sotiropoulos, he is still hanging around between 11-15.
YES HE SHOULD. all those guys you mention, AND mark bocek deserve to be ranked ahead of barboza right now. i will watch the tibau vs nurmagomedov fight again but i don’t remember being anything but impressed with him getting a “unanimous decision” over one of the best in the division.
I am hoping the lightweight scene sorts itself out soon. Bocek needs a signature win. He has proven his merits against mid-level competition and gave Jim Miller all he could handle, but the fact remains, he has never beaten a top 20 fighter (Lentz was around #25).
Terry Etim was a bordline Top 20 fighter prior to Barboza beating him. Also, it wasn’t just a decision win for Barboza, it was a huge knockout.
It comes down to Barboza’s wins over Etim and Pearson outweighing the guys ranked below him. Rafael Dos Anjos is on a solid run, but his recent loss to Tibau holds him back. Same thing for Tibau, he was looking solid up until the decision loss to Nurmagomedov. Stephens’ biggest win in recent years is Marcus Davis, in a fight he was losing until a 3rd round knockout. All of these fighters have some sort of hiccup on their resume. I’m not trying to discount Barboza’s loss against Varner, but all of the guys below him have experienced the same thing.
Thanks for the solid info. I agree with a lot of your points. I am not trying to persuade you to why I ranked so-and-so, I’m just trying to point out how I am seeing things at this current stage.
i just watched the tibau vs khabib fight again,i don’t have a problem with the result,khabib pressed the action the whole way using wild striking to get in on single leg takedowns over and over,tibau stuffed everyone of em and even landed a couple solid knees to khabib as he was coming in ,but khabib walked through them and was rellentless keeping tibau backed up to the cage and defending for the whole fight. tibau did land two takedowns,but khabib popped straight back up and went back on the attack.
I remember it being close as well. It was the fallout of the rankings that I had trouble with. Does Nurmagomedov really deserve to be ranked ahead of Dos Anjos, Sotiropoulos, and Bocek for one controversial decision win? I couldn’t punish Tibau either because he has proven his skills against Dos Anjos and Stephens.
I am doing the same thing that I previously did with all of the wild Leonard Garcia decisions. I wasn’t going to penalize Chan Sung Jung or Nam Phan because the judges couldn’t get the scorecards right.
Like I said, I will watch the fight again and see if Nurmagomedov did enough to win the fight. Obviously the judges thought so, but pretty much every website doing play-by-play had Tibau winning that fight.
Siver announced his move down to the UFC featherweight division following his loss to Cerrone.
Penn has been added to the UFC welterweight division.
Dude Dardouche over Iron Mike? He WAS KICK8NG OLIVERAS ASS
i cant believe Edson Barboza lost it’s been my favorita since he joined the UFC
Not to harp on you guys too much but the updates on this website are slow. Like, ridiculously slow. There are some fighters I’ve seen on this list whom haven’t fought in years. Pascal Krauss was on the list despite not competing for seven years. Zhenhong Lu was on the list for years until recently despite never getting to fight in the UFC. Eric Wisely went two or three regional fights before his name was removed from the list. Then you have fighters like Islam Mamedov who still have the PFL logo next to them despite being signed to Bellator. The overall layout is kind of a complete mess.
Also, I’ve noticed certain comments discussing the same issues I’ve noticed on the site have been mysteriously disappearing. Not pointing any fingers here, could be a bug for all I know, I was just concerned.
As we have seen with fighters like Matt Wiman and Nick Diaz, fighters may have layoffs spanning years. There was no official update for Kraus and Lu. If you see errors/udates, please let me know and I will gladly update. As for removing a fighter from the rankings, I usually do not without an actual link to the source. As for comments disappearing, if anything has vulgar language in it, is removed. I apologize about the late updates as of late, wife has been going through cancer treatments, and doing my best to manage work and the family while she hopefully recovers.
why is edson barboza in n16 and donald cerrone in number 8 if barboza is 4-0 in ufc and cerrone 4-1? and barboza has greatest knockouts than cerrone…
Cerrone has faced stiffer competition thus far in his career. Barboza may be 4-0 in the UFC, but 2 of his wins were razor-thin decisions over Anthony Njokuani and Ross Pearson. Barboza may be the next big thing in the 155-pound division, but he will have to prove himself against high-level competition first.
Nate Diaz – OVER-RATED
Overrated at 170 maybe, but at 155 Diaz was fairly solid. He lost to Gray Maynard in a close fight and easily defeated Melvin Guillard. He lost a couple of fights to Joe Stevenson and Clay Guida, who simply held Diaz down for 3 rounds. I think Diaz needs a big win at 155 to show he is still a factor.
