I believe Williams’s last fight was at 135 — if not, please provide proof. For as many inquiries I get about him.. I swear, his fights are impossible to find info on. Did Merkt retire? If so, please provide proof.
Just wondering how our fighter czar sklavos got ranked here
And why josh sampo is not?
Amazing how much this division has changed since the beginning of the year.
Omari, we only count pro fights. As far as I can tell, Nate’s pro record is well below a 50% win pct. If you can provide a complete record, I welcome you to do so in our forum.
There is a 125er out of Des moines, IA named Nate “Mighty Mouse” Williams who should be considered for ranking. He is a college wrestler with a 15-10 overall record (9-3) at 125. He has fought very good 135ers such as Chase Beebe.
Nate fought last aug at 125 it was for the extreme challenge 125 title and then mcc vs chris haney and he won the mcc 125 125 title also. And in may 2011 he fought brandon wood was at 125 like I said he is a 125er not a 135
Expecting to see Phil “Billy” Harris from the UK make an impact on these rankings in 2012!!
Yeah, Dodson/Gaudinot would be a good idea, with the winner possibly fighting for the title early next year.
He is also a three belt title holder in the midwest. Very good up and comer
Dodson-Gaudinot seems like an obvious matchup to make.
Ok
Why not have more Flyweight fights out there. I personally, am a Flyweight and i am trying to find more fights out there so i can help expand that weight class for all the other guys that wanna Elivate in the MMA….
should look at ryan hayes hes 4-2 and very solid
Where is Jessie Riggleman?
PLEASE look around the site. Thao is now ranked as a Bantamweight.
What happened to the Flyweight rankings?
sean, i talked with the matchmaker and he said we were too far out and had to talk to his partner. i hope we can make something happen.
WHY NOT HAVE A TOP 50 ON HERE? I KNOW THERE ARE PLENTY OF GUYS
I’ll have to see if we can expand Fly. Its a really thin division and hard to keep track of.

“Mike, you are currently ranked at Bantamweight – #191. What weight was your last fight at? If it was at Flyweight you should certainly be in the Top 100.”
Actually I won the first ever 125lb title ever in Canadian history with a win over Corey Lauitcher 5-1 than since than had two catch weight fights at 130lbs cause there is a lack of 125er in Canada at the moment but it is growing, so I find I have to do fights at 130. I am defending this title May.3rd again at 125lbs. I have a lot of fights at 130 but two at 125 right now just cause lack of opponents than wins at 135 also. End of March was last 125 fight but I hope to make it on these rankings soon as I have won 7 fights in a row. new goal for 2013 🙂
ThonolansGhost: I believe Dana White when he says that they plan on adding flyweights at some point. I don’t believe him when he says that they’ll add them by the end of the year. Maybe by the second quarter of 2012 we’ll see Flyweight fights starting up… a mere three years after the announcement that they were coming to the WEC.
Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like DREAM is interested in Flyweights either, and Bellator has their hand’s full with their existing divisions so it looks like Flyweights will remain an obscure weight class for a bit longer.
Good to see Dustin Ortiz moved into the rankings!
Seriously? Josh Sampo fell to 70??? Did you watch the fight with Campuzano? He trashed that kid the entire fight and made one mistake at the end. If Josh would have wanted to give the crowd a boring fight he could have run for a minuted and would have won unanymously!
how doesnt that move nate up in the rankings
You’ll be seeing a lot more bantams moving down within the next year or so.
Because you haven’t given us time to UPDATE.
Hello! Please update profile.

http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Rasul-Albaskhanov-161795
In the recent decision changed. On the website Sherdog is correct information
I will be fighting nick honstein feb22nd for The sparta combat league fly weight title gonna be a good fight good luck to him
Not volunteering to do a full breakdown as I know little to nothing about most of the contestants. Maybe we’ll just do a ranking based one, “how they stack up” type blog that we’ve done for TUF in the past.
Tim Elliot was a shoe-in and has to be a heavy favorite to win the whole thing. Never thought I would see Damacio Page in UFC again. Expected Louis Gaudinot on there but apparently he’s not holding any titles. More than anything I am surprised that there are some many minor league orgs with an active flyweight title.
Hopefully this will breathe some life into the division that UFC has struggled to develop. Might be the first season of TUF that I will actually watch in many years.
Erik Vo was and is not even close to being a ranked fighter.
Now that the TUF 24 cast has been announced (FLW tournament, all participants must hold a belt of some kind), if you were looking for blog ideas, maybe something breaking down the people selected?
FYI, doesn’t look like the Elliot/Schnell result from last week’s TUF episode is reflected in this update.
Are you sure Magomed Bibulatov is French?
I understand the frustration with fighters missing weight, but having the fight go on with a pre-determined outcome of NC is absurd. The 20% penalty may be an insufficient deterrent, but it’s far better IMO than having the fight take place but the outcome not count regardless of what actually happens in the ring/cage.
Some alternatives: pay the fighter who made weight show & win money, pay the other fighter nothing, and cancel the fight completely. Or have promoters not re-book fighters or terminate their contract for missing weight. This of course is up to the promoter. The sport needs to have a unified set of rules. If some promotions decide to arbitrarily institute ad-hoc nonsensical rules like “NC if a fighter misses weight”, we can just as arbitrarily ignore them.
My interest (agenda) is that I’m tired of pro fighters signing contracts for a certain weight division, not honoring it, gets a chicken shit penalty of %20 fine and has an unfair advantage. And the lighter the weight division, the bigger advantage. We fought 3 times in Japan and they don’t put up fighters not making weight. And the fight we are talking about did happen in Japan. It didn’t happen anywhere else. So my point is that we should not reward guys if they can’t make weight. And please don’t say “you don’t have to fight the guy” the promoters put so much pressure and you trained for 6 weeks its hard to not fight.A loss is devastating. Weight cutting is a big issue. Flyweight seems to have the most problems and deaths. Sorry if I’ve complained to the wrong person
Yeah looks like we’re missing some data from the recent One FC and Pacific XC events. Looking into it…
The fight happened as did the outcome.. so we honor the actual result.
Yuki Motoya did not lose to Felipe Efrain. It was ruled a No-Contest because Efrain didn`t make weight.
everything says vs unranked
The actual result is a no-contest. Sherdog reports it as a No-contest. It`s your website so you get to make the rules.I disagree with your decision. It`s not yours to make. That`s my opinion.
I have total respect and appreciate all the work you do for this site. Peace
Our expectation is that he’ll return to 125 and since he had an NC at 135, I don’t really see a reason to keep him there.
Seems like the filter ain’t working. Fights on One Championship & Pacific Xtreme Championship are listed as Unknown now
If the fight happened in any other country, it would not be a no contest. The fight happened, a result happened.. and that’s what we take into account. I’m not sure what your interest is, but in my opinion, calling it a NC is total bullshit. I don’t see how anyone could truly feel otherwise, regardless of what Sherdog reports. I could go change the Fight Finder result if I wanted to (I have Sherdog database access)… so I wouldn’t consider them gospel.
Czar Sklavos just beat Nick Mamalis by submission saturday night. He is now 8-3 with losses to top 10 opponents only. He is fighting his way back!!!
#173
Cant wait to see where my friday win over Banin puts me at 125 rankings 🙂
Regardless of how you feel about Sampo’s lofty ranking, in which I’ll accept arguments about because his two biggest wins were desperate fighters dropping from Bantamweight — Montague is seriously overrated by sites simply because he is a UFC fighter… that’s the honest truth.
Montague didn’t show much against Dodson, think his rating is about right.
You are not ranked at Flyweight, you are ranked at Bantamweight. You are only ranked in one division at a time. Fights in other divisions do matter. Turner had a good enough rating at Bantam to be ranked at Fly even though he lost his last match.
where is ryan hayes ranked at?
What I don’t get is why Jesse Miramontes is not even ranked in this Pool. He was a top D1 Pedigree Wrestler (Higher than 90% of the 125’s. Out of 15 wins 14 of them have been in the 1st round. As UFC has hinted that Darrell Montague would be the next on the board for the flyweight division. We have asked for this fight. Jesse will be fighting Darrell May 18 at the Civic Arena, California.
Bodwell and me was suppose to be at 125 than moved to 130 cause he did not want to weight cut but than I thought fight was off. cazy events but I did not get to cut weight for that fight cause had to spend weigh in day getting cleared to fight in another city cause a past fight where I got kneeded in the head had to clear. Next fight is June.21st back at 125 defending my title.
Pain is I fought at 135 while walking at 145 and started off at 145 first two fights, but staying at 125 now manager said to stop accepting fights at 135 haha but just SOOOO hard to find opponents but slowly getting better here in Canada with Mike Banin and Randy Turner making it down now.
Thanks for reply
Sherdog’s site has Roldan Sangchaan listed as 3-0, (you seem to be missing one of his fights).
Okay. That makes sense. I’m glad he’s dropping back down. 125 desperately needs more fighters.
Miramontes got a quality performance credit in 35% of his official fights. We made a post about this a few years ago, but a quality performance to us.. is an outcome & opponent that helps justify the fighter’s rating (in a positive light) at the time of the fight. The average ranked fighter is at 60%. The average Flyweight is at 61% (likely higher because we only rank 100).
sorry had to ask cause still 1-0 at 125 while Randy Turner is 0-1 and ranked so had to ask lol but hope its me vs Banin in June
I’d say the main problem is that Miramontes has never beaten a good or even mid-level opponent. All of his wins (and most of his losses have come against unranked fighters.
Actually, his losses have all come against mid-level and lower ranked opposition. But his wins are against unknown and unranked fighters.
Like who?
Mike, you are currently ranked at Bantamweight – #191. What weight was your last fight at? If it was at Flyweight you should certainly be in the Top 100.
No problem.. and there are always things the rating system can’t see… it’s powered 100% by software. Dustin may in fact be better, or worse than his rating, but the only way to move up is to win, or be very competitive against a top fighter.
The UFC should have their flyweight division up and running by the end of that year. That should lead to an increase of both quality matchups and quality fighters.
How is Dustin Ortiz not ranked? He is a 7-1 SF veteran whose only loss is a decision to the guy ranked #2 in the world.
Got it Nate.
Josh “Shortstack” Robinson (#26 ranked) vs. Nate Williams (#59 ranked) in Toledo, Ohio tomorrow night (12/8/2012) at Ohio Cage Combat’s – Season’s Beatings III ..Robinson’s first fight since upsetting Dustin Ortiz earlier this year.
Nate is #286 Bantamweight
ian mCcall 4th WTF
Plenty of movement in the top 50 this weekend.
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen this much movement in the flyweight division…very interesting.
When you fight again at 125, I’ll move you back. Now, four of your last five were at 135. It’s not fair to rank you in a division where you aren’t getting and maintaining your points.
According to my records Nate has fought 5 of his last 6 fights at 135 and also his last fight. I’ve got to rank guys where they get a majority of their points or where they fight most often or where they fight last. For Nate, answers to all the above are 135, not 125.
Omari. What’s his pro record? I really need help if we are going to make his record complete. Would you mind providing an Email and we can reconcile what I have versus what is truly his pro record?
Will be in our next update.
ya nate fights both at 125 and 135 but he is actually a 125er he only fights at 135 when he cant find fights at 125
The sad part is that I’m not aware of any other Flyweight bouts planned for UFC cards, other than Johnson/McCall II.. and Benavidez vs. winner.
just trying to figure out how the rankings are set up bc nate has more wins then all three of them
Kiyotaka Shimizu
Kiyotaka Shimizu
Mitsuhisa Sunabe
I don’t see Nate “Teddy Bear” Williams from Des Moines Iowa on that list—this guy is a beast!!
Did you expect higher, or lower? Considering he beat the world’s #1.. ?
Mike, These are approx weights I have for your fights..
137 Bodwell
131 Wilson
125 Lautischer
135 Mark
135 Knysh
142 Knapp
130 Knysh
135 Sheen
??? Bibby
135 Berridge
135 Knapp
??? Fox
??? Yallits
How do these look? We are concerned with the heaviest weigh-in weight, not necessarily the planned weight.
nate fought last sat he won 1 min 50sec in the first via rnc he fought levi martin
The UFC’s upcoming four-man tournament should have a huge impact on these rankings. I’m looking forward to it.
The ranking software didn’t watch the fight and so can’t account for all that…
Nate fought last aug at 125 it was for the extreme challenge 125 title and then mcc vs chris haney and he won the mcc 125 125 title also. And in may 2011 he fought brandon wood was at 125 like I said he is a 125er not a 135er
Jonathan Mackles is still a flyweight. He took one fight against Chad Robichaux and won at 135. All of his future fights will be at 125.
Yeah, the UFC already owns the flyweight division. Didn’t take long, did it?
Nice to see the ratings expanded to 75 fighters-nice job.
Nate Williams is now 18-10, has won 9 out of 10 and has had to move up to 135 because hes cleared out the 125 division in the Midwest! On top of that he has 7 pro titles and is 10-3 at 125….. What does he have to do more to get a ranking lol
JCS…thanks for the update! Didn’t mean to come off rude…have a great night!
I will ask for the registration of this fighter.
Thanks.

I believe the only way to solve the problem is to not allow fights to take place if both fighters don’t make weight. That would force promoters and matchmakers to hire fighters that make weight. If you knew a fighter was using PEDs before a fight you wouldn’t allow the fight to happen because he would have an unfair advantage even if he agreed to lose %20 percent. Maybe that is a little drastic of an example. I like your idea of a unified rule. My fighters have never missed weight but have been asked many times to take the fight when their opponent misses and we have. We now sign our contracts stating we will not fight if the fighter misses weight. That makes it harder to gets fights but I’m not giving anyone a 20 yard start in a 100 yard dash. Thanks for letting me vent.

What I don’t get is why Jesse Miramontes is not even ranked in this Pool. He was a top D1 Pedigree Wrestler (Higher than 90% of the 125’s. Out of 15 wins 14 of them have been in the 1st round. As UFC has hinted that Darrell Montague would be the next on the board for the flyweight division. We have asked for this fight. Jesse will be fighting Darrell May 18 at the Civic Arena, California.
You are not ranked at Flyweight, you are ranked at Bantamweight. You are only ranked in one division at a time. Fights in other divisions do matter. Turner had a good enough rating at Bantam to be ranked at Fly even though he lost his last match.
sorry had to ask cause still 1-0 at 125 while Randy Turner is 0-1 and ranked so had to ask lol but hope its me vs Banin in June
Bodwell and me was suppose to be at 125 than moved to 130 cause he did not want to weight cut but than I thought fight was off. cazy events but I did not get to cut weight for that fight cause had to spend weigh in day getting cleared to fight in another city cause a past fight where I got kneeded in the head had to clear. Next fight is June.21st back at 125 defending my title.
Pain is I fought at 135 while walking at 145 and started off at 145 first two fights, but staying at 125 now manager said to stop accepting fights at 135 haha but just SOOOO hard to find opponents but slowly getting better here in Canada with Mike Banin and Randy Turner making it down now.
Thanks for reply

where is ryan hayes ranked at?

Okay. That makes sense. I’m glad he’s dropping back down. 125 desperately needs more fighters.
Our expectation is that he’ll return to 125 and since he had an NC at 135, I don’t really see a reason to keep him there.
That’s a really good question.
Why is Pedro Nobre ranked here instead of bantamweight?

How do these look? We are concerned with the heaviest weigh-in weight, not necessarily the planned weight.

“Mike, you are currently ranked at Bantamweight – #191. What weight was your last fight at? If it was at Flyweight you should certainly be in the Top 100.”
Actually I won the first ever 125lb title ever in Canadian history with a win over Corey Lauitcher 5-1 than since than had two catch weight fights at 130lbs cause there is a lack of 125er in Canada at the moment but it is growing, so I find I have to do fights at 130. I am defending this title May.3rd again at 125lbs. I have a lot of fights at 130 but two at 125 right now just cause lack of opponents than wins at 135 also. End of March was last 125 fight but I hope to make it on these rankings soon as I have won 7 fights in a row. new goal for 2013 🙂

The win-loss records of their opponents means just as much as the win-loss record of the fighter themselves. This isn’t baseball or football where teams have balanced schedules and it’s all about total wins.
If this was the case, Travis Fulton would be the greatest fighter in history.

Actually, it’s not limited to the flyweight division. Must be some sort of annual adjustment.
I just noticed that after the last update, most of the Japanese flyweights dropped a few spots. Was this due to some sort of adjustment in the ratings?

You’ll be seeing a lot more bantams moving down within the next year or so.
The UFC’s mere presence in the division coaxed Bantams to move down.. that is really how it came to be.
Yeah, the UFC already owns the flyweight division. Didn’t take long, did it?

The ranking software didn’t watch the fight and so can’t account for all that…
Seriously? Josh Sampo fell to 70??? Did you watch the fight with Campuzano? He trashed that kid the entire fight and made one mistake at the end. If Josh would have wanted to give the crowd a boring fight he could have run for a minuted and would have won unanymously!
Plenty of movement in the top 50 this weekend.

According to my records Nate has fought 5 of his last 6 fights at 135 and also his last fight. I’ve got to rank guys where they get a majority of their points or where they fight most often or where they fight last. For Nate, answers to all the above are 135, not 125.
ya nate fights both at 125 and 135 but he is actually a 125er he only fights at 135 when he cant find fights at 125
I believe Williams’s last fight was at 135 — if not, please provide proof. For as many inquiries I get about him.. I swear, his fights are impossible to find info on. Did Merkt retire? If so, please provide proof.
jw why/how did nate williams go from being ranked 19th to droping out of the rankings and brandon market is still in the ranks and he doesnt even fight anymore

Wow, that’s one of the biggest (proportionally) point-based mismatches ever in the UFC. Cariaso would easily be Top 4 if he won. If Ferguson won, it’d probably drag Cariaso down and they’d both end up in bottom of Top 10.

Just announced, Chris Cariaso vs Josh Ferguson at flyweight. Winner most likely Top 5?

Yeah, Dodson/Gaudinot would be a good idea, with the winner possibly fighting for the title early next year.
Dodson-Gaudinot seems like an obvious matchup to make.
The sad part is that I’m not aware of any other Flyweight bouts planned for UFC cards, other than Johnson/McCall II.. and Benavidez vs. winner.
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen this much movement in the flyweight division…very interesting.
Nice to see the ratings expanded to 75 fighters-nice job.
Czar didn`t run from Sampo he counter punched him and landed more punches. Sampo Couldn`t submit Czar. Ask Josh about Czar`s counter punching.
Sampo diffinitely won the fight but a very biased point of view from Kerry. And I agree Josh Sampo should be ranked at least in the top 20!

jcs at fightmatrix.com please include opponent name, date, and weight division (weigh-in info if you have it).
The problem with some midwest fights is that it’s not always clear whether or not the fights are sanctioned, so they (perhaps mistakenly) get assigned as amateur fights. Those Fulton promoted fights have always been a strange one for me.. as I’m pretty sure they are unsanctioned, though I assume Nate got paid for all these ‘pro fights’ and that’s why you’re calling them pro.
We have also contacted mixed martial arts.com with that info…… they need to change the pro fights they have as ammy ones back.
JCS, I have updated info for you, wats ur email?

Nate Williams is now 18-10, has won 9 out of 10 and has had to move up to 135 because hes cleared out the 125 division in the Midwest! On top of that he has 7 pro titles and is 10-3 at 125….. What does he have to do more to get a ranking lol
The UFC’s upcoming four-man tournament should have a huge impact on these rankings. I’m looking forward to it.

Um, if I might ask, how did Josh Rave land so high? It’s not terribly clear from his fight record unless there are recent fights not on his Sherdog record.

No problem.. and there are always things the rating system can’t see… it’s powered 100% by software. Dustin may in fact be better, or worse than his rating, but the only way to move up is to win, or be very competitive against a top fighter.
Very acute points. Thanks for the information. We are pursuing ranked opponents as we speak but noone really wants to step up and fight Dustin. We are waiting to hear back from Jeremy Luchau to see if Dustin will be on the next Tachi card again. He still has 2 more bouts with them so…..

We have Ortiz at #66. It’s not a world of difference.
Although commendable (that Ortiz made it three rounds), he still lost 30-27 x3 to McCall. His win before that was against Matt Horning, a below .500 guy who has lost NINE straight fights. Three of Ortiz’s wins came against debuting fighters, with another coming at 0-1.
Maybe we’re missing some data from Ortiz’s opponents (thus hurting his rating). It happens. I’ll check it out.
Food for thought. Flick has never lost and his average opponents’ record coming into the fights is about 5-4 — very impressive for an American Flyweight that is 3-0. Dustin Ortiz’s average opponents’ record (not counting McCall, as that was a dominant loss) has been 4-4 (largely in thanks to Horning’s journeyman ledger). Still, Flick’s opposition is better, and let’s not forget Ortiz has also fought the same guy twice (Lucas Thomas).
Furthermore, we track a stat called quality performances.. it’s based on the fighter’s outcome (win, lose, draw, etc) and the opposition quality relative to the fighter’s pre-fight rating. Both Ortiz and Flick have 3.
Jimmy Flick’s wins are over a 4-5 guy and 2 wins are over the same 5-5 guy but Ortiz’s wins are of “poor quality”? I don’t understand. Ortiz has beaten everyone put in front of him except McCall who is ranked #2 in the world and he went the distance with McCall while Montague couldn’t even do that. A lot of the guys on your list won’t fight Ortiz just fyi. I know, we have tried to fight ranked guys. Normally you guys do a great job but you dropped the ball on this particular fighter. Ortiz belongs in the top 25 in the world.

Omari, we only count pro fights. As far as I can tell, Nate’s pro record is well below a 50% win pct. If you can provide a complete record, I welcome you to do so in our forum.
He is also a three belt title holder in the midwest. Very good up and comer
There is a 125er out of Des moines, IA named Nate “Mighty Mouse” Williams who should be considered for ranking. He is a college wrestler with a 15-10 overall record (9-3) at 125. He has fought very good 135ers such as Chase Beebe.
Will be in our next update.
Jonathan Mackles is still a flyweight. He took one fight against Chad Robichaux and won at 135. All of his future fights will be at 125.
ThonolansGhost: I believe Dana White when he says that they plan on adding flyweights at some point. I don’t believe him when he says that they’ll add them by the end of the year. Maybe by the second quarter of 2012 we’ll see Flyweight fights starting up… a mere three years after the announcement that they were coming to the WEC.
Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like DREAM is interested in Flyweights either, and Bellator has their hand’s full with their existing divisions so it looks like Flyweights will remain an obscure weight class for a bit longer.
The UFC should have their flyweight division up and running by the end of that year. That should lead to an increase of both quality matchups and quality fighters.
I wouldn’t necessarily be against it.

If Dream starts doing regular Flyweight matches (I get the feeling they might be leaning towards that since that in their new scaled down model), would you consider expanding the listing to say 75 or something?
