| MMA World Rankings FAQ | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MMA World Rankings are comprised of all fighters, regardless of promotion. These rankings are sometimes referred to as "Global Rankings" or "Overall Rankings." RankingMMA has been publishing MMA world 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 the promotion they are in. 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 these 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 Non-UFC Rankings (* = Not Ranked) = 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 of choice. = Suspension. Should a fighter be suspended for performance enhancing substances or fighter conduct, they will be removed from the rankings. |

Disgusting,
so Fedor with a 39-6 ranking that is like 9-2 against UFC Champions and In his last 5 fights has wins over Chael Sonnen, Frank Mir, and Rampage Jackson is the 27th ranked hw in all of MMA…?
You guys have Overeem over him? Werdum??
Yes Werdum subbed Fedor but in their fight Fedor dropped him and just got reckless attacking. You cant make mistakes against a Jiu Jitsu master of that caliber so Werdum got the sub…but If they were to fight again Fedor would be favored and rightly so…
this is a terrible ranking…
Fedor is top 5, no less than top 10 .
You’re right the only fight Fedor didn’t do well in was the one against Bader but Bader has very good striking right now in bellator
Top prospects in and outta the UFC in each weightclass

I would
like to express my feelings on there being an open weight class in the UFC where
you can weigh whatever you want. Fighters take so much energy to cut weight and
end up not fighting at their optimum as a result, so why don’t we do away with
weight classes? Now I know a lot of you are going to say that this would be
unfair to smaller fighters, but isn’t the whole idea of martial arts to be able
to defeat your opponent no matter how big they are? What the smaller fighters
would lack in mass and strength, would make up for it with their speed and
cardio, do you really think Bigfoot Silva is going to beat Anderson Silva
because he is bigger? there is no way he is going to stop that level of
technique. How many of you out there would love to see a UFC open weight class?
And how many of you think there are UFC fighters in lower weight classes that
would destroy fighters in higher weight classes if it was an open weight class?
Size isn’t everything in a fight – I don’t think anyone could or would seriously argue that. That being said the weight advantage is something that you do need to factor into things when organizing a fight. The additional strength and power that comes with an extra 5-10-15kg weight on one’s side is not a trivial matter. It is much easier for the bigger guy to resist submission attempts and weather a storm of fists/kicks.
Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t mind seeing some open weight class fights – but not where there is a 20kg difference between the fighters.
