MMA Madness' Rules of Rankings
- For a fighter to be ranked, he must have:
- fought within the last two years
- For a fighter to be ranked in a new division, he must have:
- declared his intention to move divisions (ex: Dan Henderson)
- fought two consecutive fights at the new weight (ex: Hayato Sakurai)
- A fighter shall not be ranked at two weights
- He is ranked at the old weight until one of the two examples under #2 occurs
- Rankings will not rely on transitive properties
- ex: Alves beat Hughes, Hughes beat GSP, thus Alves beat GSP is not acceptable logic
- Rankings are based on a full body of work & strength of schedule, not just the last fight
- ex: Michael Bisping has just two wins at MW, but his resume includes a win on The Ultimate Fighter and a win over Matt Hamill (full body)
- ex: Matt Hughes has lost two of three (as of 6/08), however, that slump would not drop him as far as a younger fighter who lost two of three (full body)
- ex: Additionally, Hughes' losses have been to top competitors, so losses to GSP and Alves don't hurt as much as another fighters loss to Mike Swick (strength of schedule)
