Frequently Asked Questions

How are UFC fighter rankings determined?

Rankings are voted on by a panel of media members and industry experts who vote for who they feel are the top fighters in the UFC by weight-class and pound-for-pound.

A fighter can appear in more than one weight division at a time.

The champion and interim champion are considered to be in the top positions of their respective divisions and therefore are not eligible for voting by weight-class. However, the champions can be voted on for the pound-for-pound rankings.

Ranked fighters must have an active status in the UFC.

The rankings panel is comprised of media members from the following outlets:

KHON Honolulu, MMA Oddsbreaker, CFMU 93.3, Bursprak.se, FightNews, Fight Network, Gazeta Esportiva, Cherokee Scout, Burbank Leader, MMA Weekly, KIOZ 105.3, Vladusport.com, Wrestling Observer, Top Turtle Podcast, MMA Fight Radio, BoxeoMundial, Kimura.se, MMA Soldier, MMA NYTT, Blood & Sweat, Inside Fighting Radio
