Notable Info
A bit of a strange situation at Middleweight, as Du Plessis eeked past Strickland in a draw-ish fight. Due to the weakness of Strickland’s recent performances (aside from the win over Adesanya), combined with the pre-fight ratings gap between Du Plessis and Strickland, Adesanya finds himself back in the top spot.
The Elo and Glicko systems all saw Du Plessis as the #1 fighter at Middleweight even before this fight. This did not change. The edgier WHR system had Du Plessis at #1 before the fight, which Chimaev now holds as the system saw Du Plessis’s narrow win as a reason to deduct some points. It expected Du Plessis to win by a wider margin.

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 and sometimes, 100% decided by the data. I’m creating posts like this to serve as supporting commentary.
The Rookie of the Year award presents some interesting challenges. It is guided by stats, but not decided by stats. There are many factors to consider, including W-L record, ratings (all systems), strength of division, and rank in division, just to name a few. Furthermore, many fighters who qualify as rookies, spend their early career in lower-level leagues that are known to have inaccurate and delayed reporting. We may get results a week, or a month from now, that could change the fighter that most deserves the award and this is why “Preliminary” is noted in the title.
Similar to baseball, a rookie to us, is a fighter who had adequate activity in the award year, but is allowed to have limited activity in the year prior. Additionally, they must have debuted in either the award year, or in the calendar year before.
As usual, there were many close calls…
