Peak Division Dominance added to All-Time Rankings
Further bolstering our All-Time rankings is the Peak Division Dominance list. This list works nearly identically to the current list, in that it ranks fighters based on their peak dominance in a respective division. The all-time version takes each fighter’s best dominance rating throughout their career, then ranks them in order. One difference about the all-time version is that the fighter must have been established in the division before being eligible for the list.
The monthly window is small, but this dominance list is about an absolute peak, not an extended period. Most of the names in the list you’ll expect, and a few you won’t. Be sure to hover over the fighters’ names to view the division and month/year that they were most dominant. And also remember, there is more to division dominance than just the fighter’s body of work. The divisional strength is also considered as well.

Debuting the All-Time Rankings
We have just posted our initial release of the computerized All-Time MMA Rankings. These rankings consider fighters’ entire careers by division and also on an overall level. Please note, these are not peak dominance rankings.
There are some very important differences between the all-time rankings and the current rankings, so please read the information provided at the top of the page.
