About UFC Fighter Rankings
Our UFC fighter rankings use the ELO rating system to provide objective, performance-based power rankings. Unlike official UFC rankings determined by media voting, our system calculates ratings purely from fight results.
How ELO Works
Every fighter starts at 1000 ELO. After each fight, ratings adjust based on outcome and opponent strength. KO/submissions earn bonus points, and title fights are worth 3x normal value.
FAQ
How are rankings calculated?
ELO ratings based on wins, losses, finish bonuses, opponent quality, and title fight multipliers. Updated after every UFC event.
Are these official UFC rankings?

📈 How ELO Works
ELO ratings update after each fight based on result, method (KO/SUB bonus), and opponent strength. Title fights are worth 3x in ELO v2.5. Starting ELO is 1000.
