Fight Matrix 2023 Awards – Upsets of the Year

Posted on January 1, 2024 by Jason

In case you didn’t know, we have our own list of annual awards we issue. They’ve all been posted for 2023.

There is a lot of fine print on that page, so please read. Furthermore, please be aware that the awards are at minimum, strongly guided by the data.

If time allows, I’d like to provide some commentary for each award in the coming weeks. This post covers the upsets of the year, of which we post four. All four are 100% objective.

Those four flavors are:

“Most Noteworthy (FM)” – Largest difference (by subtraction) in pre-fight ratings using the standard rating points.*
“Most Noteworthy (Glicko)” – Largest difference (by subtraction) in pre-fight ratings using the Glicko rating points.*
“Most Noteworthy (GlickoNoReq)” – Largest difference (by subtraction) in pre-fight ratings using the Glicko rating points.
“Most Lopsided” – Largest difference (by division) in pre-fight ratings using the standard rating points.*

#1, #2, and #4 do not include all fights (hence the asterisk). See the Awards page for more details.
