UFC 256 Proves that MMA is Changing as Old Warriors Make Way for Rising Stars

Posted on December 15, 2020 by A. J. Riot

As MMA’s old guard lay down their shields and move on to new pastures, the UFC looks set to go through a transitionary period in the coming years. Indeed, with established stars fading, there’s room in the spotlight for emerging talent. Evidence that this is the case came courtesy of UFC 256. In the wake of Yoel Romero’s surprise departure from the organization, three battle-worn warriors showed their scars on December 12 at the Apex in Las Vegas.

The record-setting career of Jay Ellis

Posted on December 8, 2020 by Richard Mann

Kevin Costner’s character in “Bull Durham,” a career minor league baseball player, refers to the minor-league home-run record as “kind of a dubious honor.” It is hard to imagine an MMA equivalent of that record, but there is clearly one even more infamous. 36-year-old Jay Ellis already holds this record, and his lead in this particular metric extended this past weekend.

On Saturday former Appalachian State All-American wrestler Austin Trotman picked up his first professional win. That victory came at the expense of Ellis. In the process, Trotman handed Ellis his record 94th MMA loss. Per Fight Matrix tracking that is the most losses in the history of the sport and six more than Shannon Ritch who has the second most losses.

Ellis made his MMA debut back in 2005, and he currently holds a 15-94 professional record. While that is a 14% winning percentage, he does have some wins over some names that will be familiar to MMA fans.

In 2007, Ellis brought a 3-7 record into a fight against current UFC competitor Gerald Meerschaert. It was only Meerschaert’s second professional fight, and Ellis’ experience edge paid off. Six years later Meerschaert would get a taste of revenge as he won a rematch and handed Ellis his 54th loss.

Ellis was also the debut opponent for former Bellator featherweight champion Daniel Straus. Despite having a 9-28 record heading into the fight, Ellis was able to pick up the victory back in 2009. Straus was able to put the pieces back together and won his first of two Bellator titles in 2013.

The last time Ellis tasted victory came back in 2017, and he is currently riding a 21-fight losing streak. At the moment it looks like he will be remembered for this somewhat odd record. Ellis will have a hard time claiming any other record. He is currently ninth on the list of fighters with the most professional MMA bouts, and it seems very unlikely he will catch the current leader as Travis Fulton has fought 322 times.

Poirier vs. McGregor 2: Does the Advantage Now Lie with The Diamond?

Posted on December 7, 2020 by A. J. Riot

On January 23rd, 2021, Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier will meet in the cage for the second time in their professional careers. At the main event of UFC 257, the lightweight contenders will battle for superiority on their paths back to a 155-pound title shot. Having won the first fight between the pair at UFC 178, many believe that the Notorious is the favorite to triumph in their upcoming highly-anticipated bout. However, few can argue that The Diamond hasn’t learned from his defeat to the Irishman back in September 2014. So, let’s consider whether Poirier is being overlooked ahead of UFC 257.

Poirier’s Record Showcases Undeniable Improvements

Following his loss to McGregor as a featherweight, the five-foot-nine American has reinvented himself as a lightweight. After being stopped by the Irishman in the first round of their initial match-up, Poirier has only lost twice since then. At UFC Fight Night: Poirier vs. Johnson in September 2016, Michael Johnson knocked out The Diamond, before the Louisiana-born fighter suffered a third-round submission loss at the hands of Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 242, as per his official fight record.

Although he’s yet to get his hands on the lightweight belt, the former 155-pound interim champion has got several notable wins over elite competitors. To date, Poirier has beaten Anthony Pettis and Eddie Alvarez, who previously held the division’s title, as well as Dan Hooker, Justin Gaethje, and Max Holloway.

It’s been a long time coming, but you can now OFFICIALLY show support via PayPal (by way of Ko-Fi) for your favorite MMA ranking source! See the “Support Fight Matrix – Tip Us!” button below.

We don’t make much on traffic or ads and servers aren’t free. It’s mostly been a labor of love all this time. Being able to open up another revenue channel will help secure our placement on the Internet for more years to come.

Right now, the “tipping” service is pretty limited. It defaults to $3, but you can raise this amount. If this takes off, we may change it up.. start offering Patreon-type perks… who knows?

The engine at work has been producing “current” ranking sets since January 2008.

Some stats that I ran about 10 days ago:

732 (now 734) official current ranking updates. 12,323 unique fighters ranked.
396 official all-time historical ranking updates.
Average time between ranking updates: 6.5 days.
Longest time between ranking updates: 14 days
Highest All-Time Current Ranking Point Total (#1 – 20pts, #2 – 10pts, #3 – 5pts, #4 – 4pts, #5 – 3.5pts… else – (18/Rank# = pts)
- 13,769 – Cris Cyborg
- 12,611 – Jon Jones
- 11,357 – Georges St. Pierre
- 11,261 – Anderson Silva
- 10,948 – Jose Aldo

As you likely know by now, we’ve got tons of other stuff as well. Alternate ranking systems, record pages, occasional statistical posts, event programs, etc.

Show us you care!

We will likely have a “tip jar” displayed on the site in December to allow fans to toss us some coin for the 12+ years of being the best MMA ranking source on the Internet. Look for that!

How Bookmakers are Taking MMA Betting Seriously

Posted on November 28, 2020 by A. J. Riot

For anyone who wants to place a bet on the sport they follow, the good news is that you can place a bet on almost any sport out there. The service on offer from bookmakers has never been as strong, and part of that service allows people to bet on MMA fights. This isn’t the biggest betting sport that bookmakers deal with, but it is certainly one that they are taking seriously and one the rise and what helps this is that betting on MMA is very easy. Will we ever see MMA betting alongside other traditional betting sports such as football and horse racing? That is highly unlikely, but as things improve and more fans get involved, the bookmakers will only take this sport more seriously. Keep Reading
