Open Weight is one of the most competitive divisions in the UFC. Our rankings offer 3 perspectives: ELO Rating (current performance), Fan Poll (head-to-head voting), and Fan Ratings (skill-based community ratings).

ELO rankings are data-driven — every fighter starts at 1000 and ratings adjust after each fight based on outcome, opponent strength, and method. Title fights are weighted 3x. Click the star button on any fighter to rate their skills.
