New Feature Launched: Overrated / Underrated Icons

May 24, 2020

On the divisional ranking pages, you’ll notice two new icons next to some fighters: AND .

The presence of this icon means that the fighter’s average ranking for the three purely mathematical systems we have (2 Elos and Glicko-1) are vastly different than the FightMatrix standard ranking.  As such, is displayed when the Elo/Glicko average rank suggests the fighter should be much higher ranked and is displayed when the opposite occurs.

To be more specific, if:

  • (Elo/Glicko/WHR < FightMatrix * 0.4) THEN
  • (Elo/Glicko/WHR < FightMatrix * 0.5) THEN
  • (Elo/Glicko/WHR < FightMatrix * 0.667) THEN
  • (Elo/Glicko/WHR > FightMatrix * 2.5) THEN
  • (Elo/Glicko/WHR > FightMatrix * 2.0) THEN
  • (Elo/Glicko/WHR > FightMatrix * 1.5) THEN

Examples:

  • Elo/Glicko/WHR #15 & FightMatrix #32 =
  • Elo/Glicko/WHR #3 & FightMatrix #5 =
  • Elo/Glicko/WHR #13 & FightMatrix #18 = [nothing]
  • Elo/Glicko/WHR #47 & FightMatrix #15 =

 

As of now, these will only display on the current divisional ranking pages.

UPDATE: With the addition of WHR, we are dropping the highest and lowest fighter ranks before performing this calculation.

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.
