These UFC Contender Rankings are intended to improve upon the Official UFC Rankings by ranking the entire UFC roster, indicating where the fighters in each division rank in relation to one another. Taking into account wins, losses, quality of opposition, nature of wins/losses, and the recency of those wins/losses, it is meant to illustrate who fits where, and which fighters’ stocks are rising and falling. Note that these are not the official MMA Ratings divisional rankings.
