Current MMA Rankings Updated (10-13-2013)
Notable Info
A software fix was implemented which will correct under-penalization of fighters in very specific circumstances. This will mainly affect fighters who lose multiple close decisions in a short time period to opponents close to, or below their own rating. The current ratings show the result of this change and it will be propagated to the historical and all-time rankings within the next few weeks.
