FightMatrix employs the Combat Intelli-Rating and Ranking System (CIRRS), a proprietary algorithm designed to objectively rank MMA promotions based on the performance of their fighters. This system considers factors such as fight outcomes, opponent quality, and activity levels to generate unbiased rankings.
Applying the CIRRS methodology to Ukrainian MMA promotions, and based on available data regarding fighter performances and organizational activity, the following is an estimated ranking:
1. Real Fight Promotion (RFP)
RFP stands out as Ukraine’s premier MMA promotion, consistently organizing events featuring high-caliber fighters who often compete internationally.
