About these rankings

Current rankings measure who is performing best right now, not who has the greatest legacy. They are built on C-ELO™, a rating system made for MMA that combines eight Elo categories: striking, grappling, win type, title fights, experience, activity, win streaks and a foundational opponent-strength rating.

On top of that, recent form is weighted heavily: fight activity over the last three years, the rating trend across a fighter's last three bouts, and title fights from the last two years. Only active fighters are ranked, meaning at least two fights in the last three years or one in the last twelve months.
