    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is ELO in UFC?
    ELO is a rating system originally designed for chess that we've adapted for MMA. Fighters gain ELO points for wins (more for beating higher-rated opponents) and lose points for losses. A rating above 1000 indicates above-average performance.
    How does this differ from official UFC rankings?
    Unlike official UFC rankings which are voted on by media members, ELO ratings are purely algorithmic. They calculate a fighter's strength based on their wins, losses, and the quality of their opponents.
