How the rating works
- 60% fight Elo: every stored fight moves the rating, and finishes count 25% more than decisions.
- 25% performance: significant strikes landed minus absorbed per minute, takedowns, control time, knockdowns and submission attempts over the last 6 fights, each compared with the opponent in the same fight.
- 15% recent form: the last 3 results, most recent counts most.
- Ranked: 3+ fights and a fight in the last two years. Division = the weight class of the latest fight.
Ratings are worked out by ChalkEdge from stored results. They are research tools, not guarantees.
