UFC Featherweight Rankings - Performance Based

The best 145-pounders based on performance

Everyone hates on the UFC ‘official’ rankings, which is based on the opinions of a voting panel consisting of people most of us have never heard of (with exception of my man Gumby). But fret not - I’ve fixed the problem and have come up with a performance-based system for ranking UFC fighters.

I’ll simplify my method for doing this for you - a fighter has to have been active over the past 12 months and not suspended, points are given based on a fighter’s past 10 fights (five-year time limit cutoff) with more points going to most recent fights. And points are based on a fighter’s opponent’s UFC win/loss record. So the better the fighter beaten, the more points given. Extra points are awarded for finishes and title fights. No points are given for a loss.
