These ranking sets have been generated by a recent version of the software, using recent data and will not match previously published issues of the rankings, especially since a majority of these generated sets are for dates much earlier than the site’s inception.
Rankings will list until the next relatively standard increment (Top 5, 10, 15, etc.) after the last fighter at 20 points is found, to a maximum amount (found in the current rankings). At a bare minimum, a fighter needs at least 15 points to be displayed.
Gathering data for the “unknown division lists” are crucial in building these sets, so if you want to help us research, please review these lists and inform us in the forum.
Some of the older divisional lists are very small, or even blank, due to limited fights and/or limited data.
Once deemed as retired or assumed as such (no fights scheduled, no fights in past 450 days), fighters are removed from any ranking pages more recent than their last fight. This is the one major difference between these sets and the current rankings.
Note: Rankings include fights on selected date.
Dallas Mitchell is now 4-1 according to mixed martial arts.com. Just beat TUF 17 participant Leo Bircier who is ranked #216 at MW in a minute by Kimura.
Check the October 2000 rankings for Light Heavyweights.
I understand. I thought Arona started his career at HW. I guess I should check other weight classes more often. it’s difficult to find a fighter when I don’t know, not only what their ranking was, but which weight class they were ranked in at a specific date. that’s where a date feature would come in handy for the search fighter function.
I’m not sure what you mean.. Arona WAS at 205.. he then fights Fedor at Heavyweight.. and is then ranked at Heavyweight.. along with Fedor who just became relevant.
movement of fighters rankings in the historical rankings seems sometimes to not match their fight history. for example, Ricardo Arona is not ranked on the 2000 October heavyweight rankings, he then loses to Fedor (who isn’t ranked too) on December, and then he appears at #52 on January 2001. there are numerous more examples. am I not understanding how these rankings work?
Of course it’s not current.. these are HISTORICAL rankings.
Hi
I am Gunnar’s Nelson father and manager. I would just like to point out that his record is wrong on this page:
http://www.fightmatrix.com/historical-mma-rankings/generated-historical-rankings/?Issue=72&Division=4&Page=3#Gunnar Nelson
It should be 9-0-1. That is 9 wins, 0 losses and 1 draw.
His record is right on Sherdog.
For more info on Gunnar’s record visit his official website on: http://www.nelson.is
Thank you.
