❓ Frequently Asked Questions
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. The overall rating displayed in these rankings is the average across all categories and all voters.
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.
