Ranking Notes: Gray font represents an approximate ranking. An asterisk represents a fighter who is ranked, but too low for an approximation. These two scenarios will clear up slightly as we move forward. “NR” means the fighter is not ranked, due to inactivity, or due to a rating that is at or below the default starter rating.

    Some of these are relatively close, and others are obvious mismatches. This may be the first major show I’ve watched in months without anyone even in the top 20.

  • jcs says:

    This set includes no approximations.

  • ICTimer says:

    Is there any way you could use different colors for approximate rankings? I just have a really hard time making out the difference between the gray and black in this color scheme.

  • jcs says:

    We could probably drag 155 and up out to 150…

  • oleg says:

    I hope some day we can list every ranked fighter in the database…. we just aren’t quite there yet.

  • jcs says:

    Oleg doesn’t like any number higher than the proof of his vodka (100).

    =)

  • Chris Porter says:

    Again, I’ll continue to lobby for an expanded list of rankings. With Stojnic at 146 and Joe Silva picking him for a spot, I’m wondering who else is out there that didn’t get picked for a shot in the UFC. Please, this is the best rating system on the internet for MMA, and I’d love to see you expand the lists to 150 to 200 per weight class where applicable. Say, 150 at HW and LHW, and 200 for MW, WW, and LW.

Before asking where a specific fighter is ranked or why they aren't ranked:

- We update the rankings once per week, usually on Sunday or Monday.

- Fighters who have not fought in 450 days or more ARE NOT RANKED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

- Use the "Fighter Search" option in the upper-right of the page. The fighter may be ranked in a different division.

- Most of the divisions have multiple pages beyond this one. See the clickable ranges above and below the ranking table.


Furthermore, we do not maintain the "next fight" data. This is gathered from Sherdog. Any issues regarding this data should be forwarded to them.
