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

Are these official UFC rankings?

📈 How ELO Works
