Why did you rank Glieson above Macdonald despite having a massively controversial victory where everyone thought Rory won, but refused to put Iuri Lapicus over Eddie Alvarez even though he technically won by no contest? Why not put Trevin Jones over Timur Valiev when he obviously won that fight and was only overturned for a substance that is now legal in USADA? Why did you put Mason Jones above Alan Patrick even though that also ended in a NC? Why is Jessin Ayari still on the Lightweight rankings?
Great call out and the actual fight and its results are a part of the ranking. Gleison actually got the decision win despite how controversial it was.
As for Iuri vs. Eddie, Eddie was winning the fight until the NC. Trevin won the fight vs. Timur, but Timur has now picked up a win over Barcelos. Mason did move up in the rankings despite the NC against Patrick.
An actual decision win carries more weight than a no contest. Iuri did not “win” the fight vs. Eddie. See below for definition:
A no-contest decision in MMA can seem fairly confusing if you don’t know how things can play out. It basically means when neither of the fighters can be declared the winner.
Thank you for catching those! Now fixed.
Is there any way we can see past rankings?
My teacher wilson reis won his first ufc match congrats he is ranked 12th in the bantamweight division
Where are the flyweights division rankings?
They are listed under the “UFC Rankings” and “MMA Rankings” Tabs on the top of the page. I also have the Top 10 Flyweight free agents and prospects listed under their respective tabs at the top of the page.
Are you going to add the Women’s 135 to the UFC rankings or is that too much of a stretch?
🙂
It looks like I am going to have to since the division is being added to the UFC. All I have heard thus far is Rousey, Carmouche, and Tate. It’s sort of odd to do division rankings for 3 fighters at this point. I think the WMMA definitely belongs on a national stage for championship-level fights, but I have mixed feelings after the UFC has struggled to get the Flyweight, Bantamweight, and Featherweight divisions on track. The depth in the Flyweight and Bantamweight divisions are severely lacking, but I am doubtful the UFC is going to go out and sign new and deserving talent with the addition of WMMA and various Strikeforce fighters.
Your rankings are great … If you update them after every UFC event it would be GREAT!!!
