The rankings of MMA fighters fall into two categories: total point-scored and division adjusted. The former are determined by voting panels, while the latter are based on total points. This article will explain which factors are used to create rankings. We will also cover how rankings are created. After all, who should make these decisions? And what should they mean for you? Let's dive in.
MMA rankings are divided-adjusted
UFC plans on using MMA rankings to determine sponsorship eligibility. This means that the UFC should get rid of pound for pound ranking systems. These rankings have no real value and are subjective. However, division-adjusted rankings do have their place. This is because the divisions are adjusted for fighter's experience and strength. These division-adjusted rankings offer a unique way to gauge fighters' strengths, and weaknesses.
They are not divided-specific
If you are looking for a ranking system in MMA, then you have come to the right place. Rankings are not only used to compare fighters but can also be used for moneyline decisions. The rankings are computer-generated and based on official results. They're comparable to popular thought, but there are some key differences. They consider the most recent results, which can impact rankings more than older results.
They are calculated based on total points scores
In the U.S., grades are assigned to students based on the number of points earned for a given subject. A student receiving ninety-one to more points is awarded an A grade. An eighty-nine-point or more student receives a B grade. Grades are often reported in increments of one.
They consider a fighter's entire resume.
Professional fighters should include several important factors in their resume. These include the fighter's weight class, number of years they have been fighting, titles, gym affiliations, notable coaches and trainers, along with any notable achievements. It is also important to include a section about the fighter's style of fighting, including their strengths and their weaknesses. The judges will consider these elements when making their final decision.
