An Organized Scheme to Beat a Rating System?
Let’s face it, no rating system or ranking list is perfect, not even the one used here at Fight Matrix. There are varying perspectives, varying protocols and complex calculations (well, at least here) at play.
Where the media lists and personal lists suffer, which is in the realm of lacking knowledge and bias — we excel. Where they excel, which is in the realm of “common sense”, we are subject to suffer. I say “subject to”, because a good software-based rating system depends on norms and works to eliminate outliers through scenario-based handling. Though, sometimes even this ounce of prevention fails.
Today, we veer off from MMA, into the world of boxing. Folks, I introduce you to Ali Raymi.

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.
