The database has come a long way since we started, and unfortunately, our available time has dwindled.  Currently, we are approaching 100,000 bouts and now rank nearly 2,000 fighters each week.  Most of this process is automated, but there is a lot of footwork involved!  Ancillary data must be researched and entered.  This data includes:

  • Weight limits
  • Pro/Am status
  • Scorecards

When you add corrections to the list, this can become quite an endeavor!  Therefore, we are looking for a few good volunteers to help us in moving forward.  Can you help us?  Do you meet ALL of the following minimum requirements we are looking for?

  • Basic knowledge of Microsoft Excel (and 2003/2007 installed on your PC).
  • Great online researching ability.
  • Good knowledge of MMA web sites and MMA history.
  • Ability to handle basic conversions (kilograms to pounds).
  • Three hours of time, per week.

In addition to helping us, this can serve as a great time-killer!

If you are interested, please reply to the “Research Project” global thread in our forum.

Please use the box below to submit a comment. Before clicking the "submit" button, review the information above the button, or else your comment is subject to deletion.

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

- 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.
