All-Time Greatest Lightweight Through History

Posted on January 16, 2025 by Jason

Just in time for UFC 311…. #1 is surprising, but this is entirely about longevity at or near the top of the division.

- This is entirely different than our All-Time Rankings, and much more simplistic. Fewer edge cases are handled here.
- Quarterly ranking data gathered from Generated Historical Rankings.
- 10 points awarded for #1 rank, #2 – 6pts, #3 – 4pts, #4 – 3pts, #5 – 2pts, #6 – 1.5pts, reducing 0.25 pt each rank to #10 (0.5 pt).
- Weak divisional depth penalty applied where necessary (early days of division).
- Fighter gets no points for the quarter if they did not win, draw, or have close loss (SD,MD) in the division in the previous 450 days.
- Date format (lower right) is year_month.

All-Time Greatest Bantamweights Through History

Posted on November 24, 2024 by Jason

This past week’s UFC main event was important for the Bantamweight division. What does the all-time picture look like as we walk through the history?

- This is entirely different than our All-Time Rankings, and much more simplistic. Fewer edge cases are handled here.
- Quarterly ranking data gathered from Generated Historical Rankings. Snapshots are made on the first of the quarter.
- 10 points assigned for #1 rank, 6 points for #2, 4 points for #3, 3 points for #4, 2 points for #5, 1 point for #6-10.
- Weak divisional depth penalty applied to above point totals where necessary.
- Fighter gets no points for the quarter if they did not win, draw, or have close loss (SD,MD) in the division in the previous 450 days.
- Fighter no longer accumulates points after retiring.
- Date format (lower right) is year_month.

All-Time Greatest Heavyweights Through History

Posted on November 22, 2024 by Jason

Dana… are you sure Stipe is the best of all-time?

This is entirely different than our All-Time Rankings, and much more simplistic. Fewer edge cases are handled here.
Quarterly Heavyweight ranking data gathered from Generated Historical Rankings. Snapshots are made on the first of the quarter.
10 points assigned for #1 rank, 6 points for #2, 4 points for #3, 3 points for #4, 2 points for #5, 1 point for #6-10.
Weak divisional depth penalty applied to above point totals, with a maximum penalty of 33.3%.
Fighter gets no points for the quarter if they did not win or draw in the division in the 450 days previous to beginning of the quarter.
Yes, there are many “open weight” fighters present in the early years.
Date format (lower right) is year_month.
