I have developed a system to represent the form of UFC fighters as an alternative to current rankings that are based on standard.

The algorithm is designed to avoid any personal judgement and is based on the last 10 fights of a fighter to accurately portray their form. The more recent the fight, the heavier the points are weighted and are allocated based on numerous factors including:

Results
- Wins, Losses, Draws, No Contests and Disqualifications

Method of victory/loss

Inactivity
- System deducts points automatically after 6 months out of competition
- Inactivity score is reduced upon return to competition based on results
- After 24 months out of competition. Fighter is removed from rankings

Standard of Competition
- Points are awarded for wins in the UFC, representing the increase in standard compared to other promotions
- Points are awarded for a win over an opponent ranked in the top 10 based on Fight Matrix rankings.
- Points are awarded for wins in championship fights including Interim bouts

Other information
- Movements (indicated by green/red arrows) include fighters who have fought in recent event only

- Fights on The Ultimate Fighter are included in the calculations but with reduced values
- Retired/banned fighters are removed from the rankings
- When fighters have the same score - the one who fought most recently will be ranked above the other
