Current MMA Rankings Updated (01-07-2024)
EDIT: Re-posted at 10:20PM EST w/ biannual community adjustments.
New Feature: MMA Promotions Ranking
In light of recent acquisition of Bellator MMA by the PFL, Fight Matrix has been in the news when the PFL founder Don Davis was quoted as saying: “The combined PFL Bellator roster now has 30 percent of its fighters who are ranked top 25 in the world by Fight Matrix. That’s the same as UFC has in their roster.”
While we’re not exactly sure of the accuracy of Davis’ math, by popular demand we decided to put together a page where you can compare the top MMA promotions by the best average ranking of their fighters, the highest sum or average of the fighters’ rating points, or the most ranked fighters on the roster. You can also break it down by weight division, as well as filter only promotions with a minimum number of ranked fighters, or only consider the Top 10/25/100.
