Division Point Dominance List
The division point dominance list debuted on 3/16/08, and is comparable, but not identical to a pound-for-pound list. While a pound-for-pound list factors in divisional tenure and the ability to transcend weight divisions while remaining successful, this list does not. This list ranks fighters based on their point level superiority over those in the division in which they are currently ranked.
This is done by averaging the point level which encompasses the typical transition between the elites and top contenders of the division, then compares this average to the fighter’s current point level. The higher a fighter’s division dominance points, the more “dominant” they are over their divisional peers.
One important thing to note is that there are two important factors that comprise a fighter’s division dominance rating. The strength of the division’s top fighters and the fighter’s own current rating. A fluctuation in the fighter’s rating, division strength, and/or division assignment can all result in changes to a fighter’s division dominance rating.
As of 8/28/2011, we have added further requirements:
- Fighter must have a win, draw, or quality performance in the previous 360 days (450 if currently in “inactive decay”).
- Fighter must have at least two wins in their listed division within the past 900 days OR be ranked #1 in their division.
Points Key
>200 – One of the era’s most dominant in the division.
>150 - An elite, dominant fighter who has cleared out a majority of the division.
>100 - A near-elite champion/#1 that has beaten a few contender-level fighters. A top 5-7 fighter.
>50 - Top 2 or 3 fighter in their division. Likely a former champion or #1 contender.
