HOW THE RANKS WORK:                
This ranking measures a fighter's overall collection of successes and failures in the past 36 months weighed against their opponents' success rates in the last 36 months,  You move up the list by collecting wins against other recently successful fighters and avoiding losses to fighters who don't have a collection of recent success.  Everything is division-specific, so someone who has good credentials in one division does not bring them to another division if they change weights.
Every fighter is given a value for his wins, losses and draws in the last 3 years, where he weighed within the range of this division.  The value for each result is based on the success rate of the opponent, their opponents, their opponents, and so on down the line.  Fighters remain connected until their fight goes beyond the 3 year examination period.  As a fighter becomes further-defined by fights, so too, do all of his recent opponents.    Depending on the depth of the division, it usually takes at least 3 or 4 solid fight results to make it to the top 20 of a division.  The complete list can be found at

In keeping with the thought that "numbers sometimes lie", panel members vote to modify the values attached to any fights that they feel need intangible factors added to them.  Examples include split judging, erroneus referee decisions, no contests, disaqualifications, and other situations where the result may not be a simple as "win/loss".  If you are interested in joining these discussions, and becoming a panel member, you can sign in at
