We posted the original last June, and you can find the link at the bottom of this post.  Since then, we’ve had more bouts occur, we’ve improved the formulas, and added quite a bit of data,.

The significance of the upsets on this list is measured not by the betting odds, but by the difference in the Fightmatrix.com point standing between the two fighters, normalized by division.  The list is ranked on total difference, not proportional difference, so newer results tend to take precedence, as there is a growing gap between the top notch fighters, and the bottom of the barrel.

  1. Gabriel Gonzaga W Mirko Filipovic (UFC 70, Apr 21 2007)
  2. Frank Mir W Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (UFC 92, Dec 27 2008)
