UFC Ranking Rules

UFC Ranking Rules:

How to view it:

• [Ranking]. [Name] ([Last Result] / [Opponent] -> [Next opponent])

Last Results Abbreviations:

• W - Win
  
• L - Loss
• D - Draw
• NC - No Contest
  
• WT - Won Title
  
• LT - Loss Title
  
• WTD - Won; Title Defended
• LTS - Loss; Title Shot
  

If a fighter's last fight was a loss, he can not be higher than 6th, unless an immediate rematch is declared. This keeps the rankings fresh w/ a new #1 contender.

If a fighter is changing weight-classes, but considered a top contender, he will be ranked at the bottom of the top 10 until he fights in the weight class. The fighter can't/shouldn't be a #1 contender if he hasn't fought in the weight class.
