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. |
Aliaskhab Khizriev is well past 15 months of inactivity, yet still ranked? How the fuck does that work out
Valentine Woodburn is now at welterweight
Updated, thank you.
Hey man if you ever need help email me. I keep a full division ranking of my own so I know how much goes into it.
Paul Craig gets to have his last 4 fights listed? How is that fair?
Thank you, updated
Almost no way Stoltzfus at 1-4 in the UFC should be ahead of Todorovic 3-4 in the UFC
Dumas ranked 10 spots ahead of Josh Fremd?! How the fuck does that make sense
Val woodburn was the most recent fight for Nickal…not Jamie Pickett
You guys have Alex ranked 4 lol
Aliaskhab Khizriev has surpassed 15 months of inactivity
– Nate Diaz now at 18 months of inactivity, yet not pulled from rankings (white privilege)
– Jordan Wright was released
Looks like shouldnt nick diaz be pulled from rankings…?
Keeping Nick Diaz in the rankings despite not having fought in around 17 months is a shocker to me.
Nick Diaz passed 15 months no fights bruh…
Deron Winn was released on the day after Christmas
Dalcha Lungiambula was released last week
Nick Diaz officially has passed 15 months of inactivity
I know Till is fighting on Saturday but as of today he is at 15 months officially of inactivity.
Kelvin Gastelum has surpassed 15 months of inactivity.
Hi mate, Nick Maximov was released yesterday
Alen Amedovski was released last week
Updated
Gastelum surpassed 15 months inactivity. Gotta come out
Alessio di Chirrico has decided to retire after the loss to Kopylov.
Isi Fitikefu is not an active fighter and hasn’t been in a long time.
Updated, ty
Yo bro what about Michal Oleksieczuk, he just comin off a win at 185 over sam alvey why he not bein ranked cuz?
Updated, ty.
Where’s Oleksiejczuk
Updated, ty.
Haha time to put Costa back in the rankings, uce
Updated, ty.
Sam Alvey was cut yesterday.
Uriah Hall retired today.
Updated, ty
Dwight Grant was cut 3 days ago
Dustin Stoltzfus is 1-3 in the UFC, not 0-3
Andre Petroski submitting Nick Maximov & Jun Yong Park getting the split decision win over Eryk Anders throws a HUGE wrench in the rankings lol. It’s tough deciding where to place everybody now. Because of the Gregory Rodriguez KO over Park, then Rodriguez losing to Petrosyan.
In my personal rankings I have it:
30. Arman Petrosyan
Gregory Rodriguez
Jun Yong Park
Eryk Anders (Anders win over GM3 doesn’t hold weight anymore imo)
Roman Dolidze
Jacob Malkoun
Bryan Battle (I feel his win over Andre still holds weight)
Andre Petroski
Nick Maximov
39. Puna Soriano
But I struggled to making that one. I’m anxious to see how you do it. Good luck lol
Austin, fully agree, a lot of MMA math going on with that group you mentioned. I just updated the rankings and have it nearly identical to what you have beyond Malkoun a little higher.
As for Battle, that’s my tough one! Maximov was a gigantic win for Petroski that unfortunately boosts him into another tier, though I think Battle will work his way up quickly. Who would think TUF can still produce some great fighters after all these years. Very bullish on Battle and Turcios finding future UFC success and a long career.
Cameron VanCamp was released yesterday

Thank you, updated
Isi Fitikefu no longer listed on the UFC website among current or former fighters.
Tom Breese is no longer with the UFC. Has joined levels fight league.
Thank you, updated!
Costa still ranked as a middleweight? Goes entirely against your mantra on here…
Updated, enough recent interviews where 205 will be his new home.
Hi friend, Antonio Braga Neto was released this week
phil hawes should be ranked ahead of nassourdine and julian even tho he lost to julian because he was beating him the whole fight and has done better than julian in the big show
So, Nassourdine Imavov lost to Phil Hawes (not Dawes, change that) – yet is ranked 11 spots ahead of him?
Fixed on the last name, thank you! As for Nassourdine being ranked above Hawes despite a recent decision loss to him, their fight was razor-close and Nassourdine’s recent win over Heinisch is the highest ranked win for either fighter.
Ian Heinisch? The same guy that’s lost 4/5?
I understand the argument towards ranking Hawes higher. Heinisch may have lost 4 of 5, but all losses were against strong competition. Wins over Ferreira and Carlos Jr. keep Heinisch from dropping further down the ranks below fighters with more unproven records.
You have Imavov facing himself on November 6th. Do you just not proof read things before just clicking submit?
Sorry, updating over 500+ fighters weekly can lead to some manual errors. I don’t have a team of people like Sherdog or Tapology, just a 1-man show. I completely appreciate any errors users find so I can fix.
Omari Akhmedov was released today.
Yo, Trevor Smith is no longer an active UFC fighter – he was removed officially from the UFC website in March 2020
Huge fan of rankingmma, I literally look at these rankings every day. It’s the most accurate rankings without a doubt. When I done my rankings I basically copied rankingmma’s rankings at first and still to this day they are extremely close side by side.
With that being said, Brendan Allen lost to Sean Strickland not Ian Heinisch. I don’t know if that changed anything but on my rankings Allen is ahead of Ian. Thanks guys!
Thank you, results for that fight are updated. Very much appreciate the feedback and congrats on also creating your own rankings. Good to see another hardcore MMA fan.
Remove Trevor Smith- he’s off the UFC roster
Couple small changes my good sir:
– Saparbek Safarov was released today
– Carlos Ulberg is a light heavyweight, not a middleweight (his last victory at the DWCS was at LHW)
Hi friends! LOVE this site…small, small fix here:
On Brad Tavares’ recent fights, “Israel” is misspelled “Isreal”
Fixed, thank you!
Hi mate, under John Phillips, you show him losing to Dusko Todorovic by SUB when in reality he lost to Khamzat Chimaev by sub. Cheers!
Fixed, thank you!
Awesome to see you guys updated this! Keep up the hard work!
When are you going to update the site? Adesanya’s still not the Middleweight champ.
Love this site, but you got Spicely and Alvey mixed up … Alvey is the one on the four fight winning streak with a recent victory over the guy ranked ahead of him …
Went to Spicely’s record says he has lost 1 but if you scroll down it shows he lost to Alvey and sanchez..
I hear you on Spicely vs. Alvey. Reminds me of when Brenneman defeated Rick Story. Yes, Alvey submitted Spicely, but after that Alvey lost a decision to Elias Theodorou. Elias was then soundly beaten by Thiago Santos. Then in a huge upset, Spicely submitted Santos.
Until a few things sort out, the timeline is…Spicely>Santos>Theodorou>Alvey. Many can argue that Alvey’s biggest win is Marquardt, but remember, Santos beat Marquardt and Spicely beat Santos afterwards.
I think your tuff 23 winner will rise in this chart after his next fight. He is your #31 but already beat your # 19. That kid is tough/tuff/tough! He seems to get better every fight.
Sanchez has looked real good. All he needs is a step up in competition to prove he belongs amongst the elite. He does have that win over Spicely, but that was prior to Spicely upsetting Thiago Santos. Thank you for your insight.
He killed by marshman
CM Punk is gonna die in the Octagon isn’t he?
I wanna see Francis Carmont x Ronaldo Souza
Thanks UFC!!!
Agreed, thanks to the UFC and all of the fighters that give up time with their families to entertain us.
Carmont entertains you?
Jake Shields has moved back to Welterweight:
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1529891-jake-shields-returns-to-welterweight-targets-jake-ellenberger-or-carlos-condit
Thank you for the link and update. The change has been made.
Done!
I do count it as a loss, but look at what was happening before the illegal shots were landed. Cote was rocked by Sakara’s big elbows and would have likely been finished had Sakara landed some legal blows.
I want you to look back at Erick Silva vs. Carlo Prater before thinking I am crazy for the new rankings. Did you have Prater ranked above Silva after the DQ? I don’t think anyone did because Silva was surely going to win the fight had he not been disqualified. It is the same exact situation here with Cote-Sakara.
Shoulb be Bisping Vs Weidmen and winnner should get
title shot.
Vitor Belfort should be No2,right?
Well i was wrong about Stann and Bisping,Bisping fought smart and got the win.I agree with you putting him as No.1 contender,but i think there’s little chance of him points fighting his way to victory over Silva.As far as my rankings go,i’m moving Stann down rather than Bisping up.
It’s still tough ranking Bisping ahead of Weidman, but Weidman is lacking overall experience against the elite of the division. We know what we have with Bisping, a well-rounded fighter that has been able to hold his own against everyone not named Dan Henderson.
Stann’s ground game is still holding him back and likely always will. All of his recent losses (Bisping, Sonnen, Davis, Soszynski) were attributed to him being taken down to the ground. Stann hits like a truck, but he can’t do that from his back.
Anderson Silva vs. Bisping does not bode well for “The Count,” but he deserves his shot more so than some other former title challengers (Leites, Cote, Maia). Bisping has fought 17 times for the UFC since TUF 3. He has basically carried the flag for England’s MMA scene over the last 5 years. Plus, Silva vs. Bisping will create a lot more hype rather than Silva vs. Weidman. Sure, Weidman has the better chance of beating Silva, but Weidman is also just a few fights into his UFC career. This might be Bisping’s best and only shot at fighting for a title.
Bisping is no chance if were being honest. Weidman needs clear win over Tim Boetsch now to pressure Dana to put him ahead of Bisping.
Yes, you are correct on both points. I wouldn’t mind seeing Bisping vs. Franklin in the meantime. People are sleeping on Franklin due to his age and inactivity, but the guy has more than held his own at MW. Bisping/Franklin could probably headline a European fight card. Of course this is all dependent on Franklin beating Cung Le next month.
i have stann at 5 and bisping at 10,and stann wins,probably by knockout,but hey we’ll see. and has vitor really moved to LHW? or is his fight with jones just a one off? and i’m gunna wait till sonnen actually fights at LHW before i rank him as one.
I think Stann is a solid pick in this fight, but Bisping’s underrated wrestling may be the difference maker. As for Belfort, I agree with you, he is probably moving back to middleweight should he lose.
