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)

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.

Upcoming Ranking Expansion

Posted on October 16, 2014 by Jason

Upon our next update….

Women’s Strawweight division will be increased from 25 to 30 fighters.
Men’s Welterweight division will be 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?
