New Feature Launched: Overrated / Underrated Icons

Posted on May 24, 2020 by Jason

On the divisional ranking pages, you’ll notice two new icons next to some fighters: AND .

The presence of this icon means that the fighter’s average ranking for the three purely mathematical systems we have (2 Elos and Glicko-1) are vastly different than the FightMatrix standard ranking. As such, is displayed when the Elo/Glicko average rank suggests the fighter should be much higher ranked and is displayed when the opposite occurs.

To be more specific, if:

(Elo/Glicko/WHR < FightMatrix * 0.4) THEN
(Elo/Glicko/WHR < FightMatrix * 0.5) THEN
(Elo/Glicko/WHR < FightMatrix * 0.667) THEN
(Elo/Glicko/WHR > FightMatrix * 2.5) THEN
(Elo/Glicko/WHR > FightMatrix * 2.0) THEN
(Elo/Glicko/WHR > FightMatrix * 1.5) THEN

Examples:

Elo/Glicko/WHR #15 & FightMatrix #32 =
Elo/Glicko/WHR #3 & FightMatrix #5 =
Elo/Glicko/WHR #13 & FightMatrix #18 = [nothing]
Elo/Glicko/WHR #47 & FightMatrix #15 =

As of now, these will only display on the current divisional ranking pages.

UPDATE: With the addition of WHR, we are dropping the highest and lowest fighter ranks before performing this calculation.

Pro Bouts: 2019 vs 2020

Posted on April 22, 2020 by Jason

April has an asterisk, because it isn’t over yet, so I took the pro bouts for the month (15) and projected the month’s total.

Technically, the more recent a bout is, the more likely it is that we don’t have the results yet, so 2020 is at a bit of a disadvantage. I figure I have 50% of the results within 30 days, with the other 50% coming later — but I should have about 90% within 60 days.

Either way, the above statement doesn’t make 2020 any less depressing for MMA fans.

Here it is by week #, if interested.

2019 Awards: Women’s Fighters of the Year

Posted on January 9, 2020 by Jason

As a recap, most “Fighter of the Year” awards on other sites are really “Breakout Fighter of the Year” awards in that fighters who win, were usually not top fighters in the beginning of the year, but became so by the end of the year.

A fighter like this can and has won our FotY awards, but our award is more about maintaining a high standing during the award year by performing well a sufficient number of times and against a sufficient quality of opponents. It is more comparable to a season MVP in major team sports, not a playoffs/surprise MVP.

Co-Winners: Amanda Nunes, Valentina Shevchenko

The Top 2 from 2018, share the title for 2019 as their achievements were virtually identical.

3rd Place: Weili Zhang

With two dominant wins in the UFC, the new Strawweight champion rounds out the Top 3.
