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 describe the factors involved in creating rankings. We'll also be discussing how rankings are constructed. After all, who should make these decisions? And what should they mean for you? Let's dive into it.
MMA rankings have been adjusted to account for divisions
UFC intends to use MMA rankings as a way to determine sponsorship eligibility. The UFC should abandon pound-for-pound ranking system. These rankings are subjective, and they have no real worth. However, there are some division-adjusted ranks that have their place. This is because divisions are adjusted to take into account fighter's strength and experience. Division-adjusted rankings make a great choice if you want MMA rankings that truly measure fighters' strengths as well as weaknesses.
They aren't division-specific
You are in luck if MMA ranks you. Not only are rankings used to compare fighters to each other, but they can also help you make moneyline decisions. The rankings are computer-generated and based on official results. While they are comparable to popular opinion, there are key differences. They consider the most recent results, which can impact rankings more than older results.
These numbers are calculated using total point scores
The U.S. assigns grades based on how many points a student has earned in a 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 look at a fighter’s resume.
Professional fighters must include several factors on 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. An individual fighter's fighting style should be included, as it will highlight their strengths or weaknesses. The judges will consider these elements when making their final decision.
