Just for fun, I put together a list of the ten fighters with the highest overall point totals in our ranking system. As expected, most of the fighters on the list are heavyweights or light-heavyweights; the only fighters below 205 to make the Top 10 are Anderson Silva & Georges St. Pierre.

    Sometime this afternoon. There’s a ton of affecting bouts in this past week.. I need to look over a few things before updating.

  • Rabbit says:

    This does bring up one of the problems with statistical systems. Just because he looked like crap doesnt mean he didnt still get the results to put him up that high. Statisical systems cant judge how he looked.

    Also, approximately what time do you guys think the next rankings will be out?

  • oleg says:

    He looked impressive beating Gonzaga IMO. Granted he lost the first round pretty badly, but he showed an ability to weather the storm and come back to win.

  • jcs says:

    He’s high in the Heavyweight rankings, and there’s quite a bit of points in that division due to the high competition over the years.

  • gcw says:

    how does werdum make it on the list?? maybe i haven’t seen much of him, but he didn’t look impressive in his 2 ufc fights.
