• This is an intermediate update for testing purposes.

With the next rankings update, we will be making a slight tweak to our division dominance routine that will observe interference caused by division jumpers and help situations in which fighters gain most of their points in a strong division, then move to a weaker division — most recently seen at Women’s Featherweight with Marloes Coenen.

Hopefully, this will edge the methodology just a bit closer to a traditional “pound-for-pound” ranking, but it will remain unique in nature.  Due to the strength of Men’s MMA across the board, this will have very little effect.  However, the Women’s list will be moderately affected by this alteration.
