    About the Top Rated UFC Fights Rankings

    This page ranks UFC bouts purely by fight quality, ordered by the average score that MMA fans give each fight after watching it. Every fight on the list is rated on a 1 to 100 scale on its event page, and we sort the leaderboard by that average rating, using total vote count as the tie-breaker so that a packed-house classic does not get edged out by a fight with only a handful of votes. You can slice the list by finish type (KO/TKO, submission, decision) or by year to see how a single card or a single era stacked up.

    Fan-rated quality measures something the official record cannot: drama. A lopsided one-round finish and a five-round war can both end in a stoppage, but the war is what fans remember and reward. That is why back-and-forth slugfests, momentum swings, and last-second comebacks tend to climb the board, while technically clean but uneventful decisions sit lower even when the better fighter clearly won. Title fights and main events draw bigger vote totals, but the rating itself is blind to stakes, so an undercard banger can outrank a championship bout.

    Because this leaderboard is driven by the crowd rather than judges or matchmakers, it is the closest thing to a fan consensus on the greatest fights ever staged. Pair it with our ELO rankings to see how the fighters behind these classics rate as competitors, and dig into the fighter profiles to trace the careers that produced these moments. Every vote you cast on an event page reshapes the order, so the list stays current as new instant classics happen.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How are the top rated UFC fights ranked?
    Fights are ranked by their average fan rating on a 1 to 100 scale, collected from votes cast on each event page. When two fights have the same average, the one with more total votes ranks higher, so popular classics are not displaced by lightly voted bouts.
    What makes a fight score highly with fans?
    Drama and competitiveness drive scores more than the result itself. Two-way action, momentum swings, near-finishes, heart, and a memorable finish all push a fight up the board. Skilled but uneventful or one-sided fights usually score lower even when the winner dominates.
    Do title fights automatically rank higher?
    No. The rating reflects fight quality, not stakes, so an undercard war can outrank a championship bout. Title fights and main events do tend to gather more votes because more people watch them, but those votes only make the average more stable, not higher.
    Can I filter the list by finish or by year?
    Yes. Use the filter buttons to view only KO/TKO, submission, or decision finishes, and use the year dropdown to see the best rated fights from a specific year. The all-time view combines every rated fight in the database.
