Ukrainian MMA Promotions Ranking Based on CIRRS
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.
MMA Promoter | Event Organizer | Analyst
Founder & President of Real Fight Promotion (RFP) – one of the longest-running and most recognized MMA organizations in Ukraine. Organizer of 100+ MMA events. Contributor, analyst, and Trusted Promoter collaborating with leading global MMA platforms.
Best MMA Fighters By Country (All-Time)
Ever wonder who the top-rated fighters by country are? Wonder no more…
Below are the “best” fighters by nationality, using all-time rating points. For the purposes of this article, I combined the men and the women into one list. Though, the value of a “point” isn’t exactly the same between genders, I think it will be good enough for this.
Canada
#1 – Georges St. Pierre [26-2-0, 37917 pts]
If you expected to see Jones at the top spot, make sure you revisit GSP’s ledger. He faced a murderer’s row of Welterweight contenders, beat all of them, and avenged both of his losses in doing so.
Honorable Mention: Rory MacDonald (#105)
