Current MMA Rankings Updated (04-20-2025)

Posted on April 20, 2025 by Jason

Aside from the P4P and Division Dominance lists, we are now ranking every fighter with 15 points or greater. This will result in approximately twice as many fighters being ranked!

The Generated Historical Rankings will also be expanded in the same manner. The 2025 sets have already been updated. The 2022-2024 sets will be updated by the end of the today, while the rest will be updated throughout the next several weeks.

Without question, this expansion will reveal some data errors (ex: wrong gender) and perhaps some shortcomings and bugs. As usual, our primary focus is on the top of the rankings. However, if you see anything strange, let us know in the forum, or submit a comment.

We may do further expansion in the near future…. stay tuned.

Bruce Lee wasn’t a Fighter — And that’s Okay

Posted on April 14, 2025 by Jonathan Sasser

The concept doesn’t sound like Bruce Lee’s philosophy. He wasn’t a fan of tournaments or competition. Competition has always been at the heart of MMA. I don’t think MMA exists without it. Bruce wasn’t a fan of rules, and while early UFC didn’t have many, there were a few, and they grew out of necessity. Bruce liked unconventional strikes like groin and eye gouges. There also weren’t any fighters from his school of thought. One would think if he had really had an influence, that would have been a concern, there would have Jeet Kune Do.

Vale Tudo — the no-holds-barred fights from Brazil — dates to the early 20th century. These matches inspired the Gracie Challenge, which would later inspire Rorion Gracie to co-create the UFC. That’s the most direct path to the UFC, and the goal was to recreate Vale Tudo in America. Vale Tudo is MMA.

Shoot fighting developed in Japan in the 1970s from the influence of Karl Gotch. This evolved into Shooto, Pride FC, and Pancrase. Ken and Frank Shamrock and Bas Rutten came from Pancrase. Ken Shamrock competed in UFC 1. So from the very first event of UFC, Shoot fighting was there integrating and competing with the Vale Tudo and BJJ elements. Pride FC ran parallel to UFC and was its own iteration of MMA that evolved from that same ancestry. Anderson Silva, one of the best UFC fighters ever, fought in Shooto and then in Pride. Shogun Rua started his career with Vale Tudo and moved to Pride and eventually to the UFC to be a UFC Light Heavyweight Champion. Bellator and One Championship share this common lineage. Shoot fighting is MMA.

Analyzing Strategy and Skill in Competitive Gaming

Posted on April 14, 2025 by A. J. Riot

The competitive gaming landscape has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past two decades. What began as friends gathered around screens for bragging rights has evolved into packed arenas with million-dollar prize pools. This shift raises questions about what separates the professionals from the merely talented. Unlike traditional athletics where physical advantages often determine outcomes, gaming creates unique competitive environments where mental acuity, technical precision, and psychological fortitude intertwine. Many outsiders still dismiss these competitions as “just playing video games,” missing the incredible depth that develops when thousands of dedicated people spend years exploring a game’s possibilities. Looking closer at what makes someone truly exceptional in this space reveals insights that extend far beyond gaming itself.
