Current MMA Rankings Updated (10-19-2014)

Posted on October 19, 2014 by Jason

Notable Info

  • Fixed a rare bug that was introduced a couple of months ago, which caused select fighters to gain a small amount of points upon entering inactivity penalty.
  • Initial version of hometown ceiling launched for those in countries w/sufficient data and observed home advantages that have very little reach outside of the respective populations (aka: hardly anyone highly ranked seems to leave).  The penalties are very mild to start and only affect those who satisfy certain requirements.
  • Women’s Strawweight division increased from 25 to 30 fighters.
  • Men’s Welterweight division increased from 500 to 600 fighters.

Fight Matrix: How it all works.. and more! (Long Read)

Posted on October 13, 2014 by Jason

We’ve got tons of info if you look for it, particularly in the FAQ page and also at the parent MMA Ranks page.  However, many viewers tend to not explore our site or are just unwilling.  As such, there is a lot of misunderstanding, misconception and overall wrong beliefs and perceptions about the site.  I thought it an opportune time to hit on the basics and also address some common errors made by site visitors.

Just to make it catchy, we’ll call it the Ten Rules of Rankings: Fight Matrix Edition (Oct 2014)

 

1. All FightMatrix.com rankings are generated by software.

FightMatrix.com by its most general definition, is a web site business that houses professional MMA rankings and statistics.  IT does not actually come up with the rankings or ratings and neither do the site owners.

Stat of the Day: Weak Champions

Posted on October 7, 2014 by Jason

When we exclude Flyweight (a division that the UFC only semi-recently adopted), we are at a period now where the rating of a #2 fighter is equal to or greater than 85% of the rating of the #1 fighter in 3 men’s divisions since Fight Matrix came online.  We saw this briefly for a 1-week period back in July 2010, but we are currently in the midst of a period that has essentially lasted since mid-June 2014, excluding a short break from mid-August to mid-September where we had some shuffling.

  • Welterweight: [#2] Rory MacDonald’s rating is 94.8% of [#1] Johny Hendricks’s
  • Lightweight: [#2] Rafael dos Anjos’s rating is 86.5% of [#1] Anthony Pettis’s
  • Bantamweight: [#2] Renan Barao’s rating is 86.5% of [#1] T.J. Dillashaw’s

Depending on the outcome, or non-outcome (another Aldo injury) of Aldo/Mendes, the Edgar/Swanson winner could increase this count to 4. Either way, the 3 above will probably hold in the list for quite a bit.

The real question is… is this good, or bad?

Undeserving Matches?

Posted on October 4, 2014 by Ked Becker

The winner of the fight between Rory McDonald and Tarec Saffiedine might get a title shot.

Rory McDonald is the #2 welterweight, so this is almost the biggest fight anyone can get in the division.   On the other hand, Tarec Saffiedine has fought only one time this year and one time last year.  He didn’t beat anyone significant (Nate Marquardt has been unimpressive at welterweight) and his last 7 fights went to decision, which proves he is not the most exciting of fighters.

Dana White is generally very vocal about how he wants fighters to be exciting (Jon Fitch, Jake Shields) and active (Fabricio Werdum was forced to take a fight though he wanted to wait for the title shot).

And now another such fight was announced: Hector Lombard, who just beat Jake Shields and might very well deserve a title shot himself, against Josh Burkman, who just returns to the UFC after losing a fight outside of it (to Steve Carl).

Wouldn’t it make more sense to pit Hector Lombard against Rory McDonald, a fight I think everybody would like to see and let those upcoming guys prove they deserve those high-profile fights instead of booking fights which seem pretty one-sided?

Current MMA Rankings Updated (09-28-2014)

Notable Info

  • Donald Cerrone took our lineal Lightweight championship last night with his win over Eddie Alvarez.
  • The Men’s Strawweight lineal championship as we recognize it, changed hands over the weekend with Yoshitaka Naito’s defeat of Shinya Murofushi.  Rambaa Somdet has not fought within the confines of this lineal division since October 2011 and it appears he’s done with the division, if not the sport.
  • Although TUF fights are being counted, it has been our policy not to shift divisions for fighters competing in TUF as historically, many fighters have competed outside of their typical division and pro non-exhibition fights take precedence.  This explains why Penne & Ellis remain in the 105 division, as this is the division in which they competed prior to TUF.  However, due to the importance of this TUF as it pertains to the 115 landscape, we may re-visit this decision in the coming weeks.  We welcome feedback.

Gleison Tibau’s unlikely UFC career

Posted on September 17, 2014 by Oleg

Last weekend, in the co-main event of the UFC Fight Night 51 in Brazil, lightweight competitor Gleison Tibau scored a split decision victory over [#41] Piotr Hallman.  This was  not a highly anticipated or hyped fight; a contest between two middle-of-the-road lightweights both ranked outside of Top 25 in their division (the win propelled Tibau from #27 up to #22, while Hallman’s ranking was not affected).  What was most notable about this fight is that it marked Tibau’s 23rd UFC bout, and his 15th win in the Octagon.    This puts Tibau in a tie for the fourth place for both most wins and most bouts in the UFC history.

To put things in perspective, the record for most wins in UFC is currently  held by Georges St. Pierre (19), followed by Matt Hughes (18).  The third place is shared by Anderson Silva, Chuck Liddell, and Randy Couture, all with 16 wins a piece.  Gleison is tied for #4 with Tito Ortiz, Josh Koscheck, and Michael Bisping.  In the most bouts category, Tito Ortiz (27) holds the lead, followed by Matt Hughes (25) and Randy Couture (24).   Tibau shares the fourth place with Chuck Liddell, BJ Penn, Frank Mir, and Josh Koscheck.

Take another look at these names.  All except for Koscheck, Bisping, and Tibau are former UFC champions and legends of the sport.   In fact, they have a combined record of 61-26-1 in UFC title fights!  Even Josh Koscheck has had a shot at UFC gold, and Michael Bisping had several “top contender” bouts, though he fell short each time.  Tibau on the other hand has never had a title shot or even a #1 contender bout.  He was never ranked in the Top 10 of any weight class, coming closest at #12 after his 3-fight win streak in 2011.  I certainly would have never expected the kid who got plastered by Nick Diaz in his UFC debut (as a welterweight), to ever be mentioned in the same sentence with the all-time greats, in any context.

What’s more is that at 31, Gleison is not showing any signs of slowing down.   After dropping down to lightweight in his second UFC bout, he has been steadily chugging along for eight years, fighting on average 2.75 times a year, and winning around 68% of these fights – or 1.875 fights a year.  If he continues at this rate for another two years, by the end of 2016 he should be tied for the top spot in both the total number of UFC fights and total wins, or may even hold the record in both categories.   The only active fighters who may give him a run for the total number of fights are Frank Mir and Josh Koscheck – both on extended losing streaks and the verge of retirement.  In the wins column, there is Michael Bisping – but at 35 he too  is four years older than Tibau, and is likely past his peak judging by his recent fights.   There is a very real possibility that Tibau may soon hold both records.  He is also at #7 for the most total fight time in the UFC.  The only currently active fighters on the roster with more minutes clocked in the Octagon are Frankie Edgar and Diego Sanchez.
