Approaching MMA’s Mount Rushmore: Jose Aldo and Jon Jones

Posted on October 27, 2014 by Jason

As of October 2nd, the Top 4 in our All-Time MMA Rankings (Absolute) shook out like this:

7878 – Georges St. Pierre
7076 – Anderson Silva
4665 – Fedor Emelianenko
4400 – Matt Hughes

And the next 2 in line…

3900 – Jose Aldo
3612 – Jon Jones
.

Note: The points system is completely different in All-Time vs. Current MMA Rankings.

Barring something miraculous, the point totals of Fedor and Hughes are set in stone and will only rise/fall with trends that the data causes. GSP is stagnant, at least for now and Silva is still active, though not achieving much for the time being…. so this leaves the door open for Aldo and Jones.

With Aldo’s latest victory, he will certainly earn enough points to eclipse the 4000 point mark and with how the calculations work, should pass Hughes by the end of the year or by very early next year. With Fedor only 6% ahead of Hughes, Aldo will catch him shortly after.

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.

Current MMA Rankings Updated (10-12-2014)

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?

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.
