MMA Mathematical Rankings: If They Were Made This Is How They Would Be

If MMA rankings were done mathematically, this is how they would turn up. This is based on overall career, not current rankings. These in the most part surprised me, and numbers do not lie. 

These are not my personal picks or bias to any fighter, these are based on what each fighter has done throughout their career. Formula is as follows......

Win = over top ten-1

         out of top 10-2       (top 10 at time of fights by the way)

Draw = 3

Loss = split decision = 3

           decision = 4

           sub or KO = 5

No contests are voided and not counted
