Top 10(11) Fighters of the 1990s – Sherdog vs Fight Matrix

Apr 12, 2023
Jason

Sherdog recently released a Top 10 (Actually 11) Ranking for the 1990s.  How do we compare to them?

I took our All-Time Ranking process and ran it against only bouts prior to 2000.  It wasn’t coded with this purpose in mind, but why not?

In the light blue is the Sherdog rank, followed by our rank of those fighters.  In the far right column, is our Top 11.

For the most part, we are in rough agreement.  But the ones we disagree on, we vary pretty widely.

I think all can agree that both Shamrocks, Royce Gracie, Mark Coleman, Bas Rutten and Dan Severn belong in this list.  And they are in both.  Miletich made both lists and although the Welterweight talent pool was not vast in the 90s, I think he deserves inclusion.  7 out of 11 isn’t bad at all and each of the 7 don’t vary by more than 4 spots.  When you consider the divisional differences, it is actually great.

So, that does leave 8 fighters who are on only one list.. First, we’ll discuss the big problems.
