Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the highest fan-rated UFC fighter?
Islam Makhachev, with 8.4 out of 10. Second: Alexander Volkanovski (7.9). Third: Ilia Topuria (7.9). Vote-weighted average of MMA.SOCIAL fan ratings across seven skill categories, active fighters only. This is an MMA.SOCIAL rating, not a UFC ranking.
How do fan ratings work on MMA.SOCIAL?
Each registered user can rate any UFC fighter on a 1-10 scale across 7 categories: Striking, Power, Grappling, Wrestling, Cardio, Chin, and Excitement. Each fighter profile shows the plain average across all categories and all voters. These rankings show a vote-weighted version of that average: it starts near the site-wide average and moves toward the fighter average as more fans vote, so two or three votes cannot outrank a heavily voted fighter.
What are the 7 rating categories?
Striking measures stand-up technique. Power rates knockout ability. Grappling covers ground game and submissions. Wrestling evaluates takedowns and control. Cardio measures endurance. Chin rates durability. Excitement captures entertainment value. Each is rated 1-10.
How are fan ratings different from ELO rankings?
ELO rankings are algorithm-driven and based purely on fight results. Fan ratings are community-driven and reflect subjective evaluations of a fighter's skills across multiple dimensions. A fighter might rank differently in each system — ELO rewards winning, while fan ratings capture perceived skill.
Can I change my rating for a fighter?
Yes. Visit any fighter's profile page to update your ratings at any time. Your new ratings will immediately replace your previous ones and the fighter's average will be recalculated.
