About UFC Fighter Leaderboards
Our UFC fighter leaderboards rank active fighters across multiple statistical categories. Unlike traditional rankings that rely on subjective opinions, our leaderboards are based on objective data including ELO ratings, finish rates, and win methods.
Understanding the Categories
- ELO Rating: A dynamic rating system where fighters gain or lose points based on fight outcomes and opponent strength. Higher-ranked opponents yield more points for victories.
- Finish Rate: The percentage of wins that come by stoppage (KO/TKO or submission). Elite finishers typically have rates above 70%.
- KO Power: Total knockout and TKO victories. This measures a fighter's ability to end fights with strikes.
- Submissions: Total submission victories. Highlights elite grapplers and submission specialists.
- Rising Stars: Fighters with the biggest recent ELO gains, indicating momentum and improvement.
- Peak Performers: The highest ELO rating a fighter has achieved, showcasing their prime performance level.
All statistics are updated after each UFC event. Minimum fight requirements ensure statistical relevance.
