MMA: rating of fighters (TOP-3)

Before talking about the rating of professional fighters taking part in battles according to the rules of mixed martial arts, I would like to note that it can be based on such factor as the weight of an MMA fighter. The ranking of fighters is made, for example, for athletes who belong to the easiest and lightest weight category, featherweight and lightweight, welterweight and medium weight, as well as light heavy and heavy weight. There are other systems in which, for example, the account of female athletes is kept. However, there are systems that ignore this MMA criterion. The rating of the fighters in them is compiled regardless of the weight category of the athlete. Then we will talk about the rating of this kind.

UFC and MMA. Rating of fighters in any scales (TOP-3)

Currently, according to the decision of the sports commissions of the UFC and the MMA, the top three ranking fighters of mixed martial arts regardless of weight include John Jones, Jose Aldo and Chris Weidman. The rating of the MMA fighters is indicated at this time.

John Jones

The first place by right belongs to John Jones. He has the following biometric data: his height is 193 cm with a weight of 93 kg. Jones performs in the light heavyweight category. Currently his rating is 21 victories and 1 defeat. Jones won 9 wins by knockout and injury, because of which the continuation of the fighting was impossible. 6 wins were given to the athlete by a decision of the judges, 6 more - as a result of painful and suffocating receptions.

Jones's debut fight took place on April 12 in 2008. Then at the FFP tournament - Untamed 20, he defeated his first opponent - Brad Bernard by technical knockout. Exactly after 5 days the second battle took place. This time - in the BCX 4 tournament - Battle Cage Xtreme 4. In the role of the opponent was Carlos Eduardo. The victory again remained for Jones, again due to a knockout.

The fighter participated in fights for 2008 in the amount of 7 times. The ICE Fighter - ICE Fighter Championship brought Jones victory by carrying out a suffocating "Guillotine" reception. At that time, his rival was Anthony Pina. The next fight of the athlete was held on May 9 in the USFL championship - War in the Woods 3. Jones defeated Ryan Werret due to a technical knockout. The last three bouts in 2008 took place on June 20, July 12 and August 9. Then Jones met with Parker Porter, Moises Gabin and Andre Gusmao. All three fights ended in favor of the athlete, he won by knockout, technical knockout and unanimous decision, respectively.

The series of victories of 2008 and 2009 is interrupted at the UFC championship - The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale, during which Jones fought with Matt Hamill. The judges recorded the banned by the regulations blows elbows, for which the first was disqualified.

Currently, the fighter successfully resumed his series of victories. His last battle took place on January 3, 2015. Then he met with Daniel Cormier, and the battle ended in favor of Jones (unanimous decision of the judges).

Jose Aldo

The second place is firmly held by this Brazilian fighter. At a weight of 65.7 kg, he has a height of 170 cm and performs in a featherweight category. Rating Jose - 25 wins and 1 loss. 14 wins were won by the athlete at the expense of knockouts, 9 - by unanimous decision of judges, 2 - with the help of a sabmish. The defeat of Aldo suffered as a result of the stifling reception from behind.

The first fight of the Brazilian was marked by a bright victory. The meeting took place in the framework of the EF 1 - EcoFight 1 tournament on August 10, 2004. Aldo had a fight with Mario Bigola, the result of which was a knockout (kick to the head). Jose took only 18 seconds to send his rival into a "non-working" state. Another meeting was held on October 23 of the same year, at the Shooto Brazil Championship - Never Shake. In the role of rival Aldo then was Hudson Rocha, who lost this fight by technical knockout. The meeting was stopped by the doctor's decision, and the fight lasted 5 minutes.

In 2005, the fighter won 5 brilliant victories, including submissions (March 19 - hand triangle) and technical knockouts (September 17 - the fight was stopped by the doctor, October 15 - tech knockout due to strikes). However, the next tournament, held on November 26 (JF 5 - Jungle Fight 5), brought the Brazilian first defeat: Luciano Azevedo at the 37th second of the 3rd minute won in this battle by strangling from behind.

The last battle of Aldo took place on October 25, 2014. Then the role of the opponent José was played by Chad Mendes, from whom the Brazilian won by unanimous decision. Now the fighter is preparing for a new meeting: he will fight with Conor McGregor, which will be held in Las Vegas on July 11.

Chris Weidman

This 30-year-old fighter has not suffered any defeats to date, although he had only 13 fights. 6 of them were won at the expense of knockouts, 4 - due to the unanimous decision of the judges, and the remaining 3 - due to the submission.

Weidman's first fight took place in 2009, on February 9th. As a rival, Rubem Lopez was speaking. The match ended in favor of Chris at the expense of the submission. The next fight was also held in 2009 within the framework of the tournament ROC 24 - Ring of Combat 24. Then Mike Stewart lost to a professional soldier a technical knockout, counted on the 38th second of the 2nd minute. The technical knockout was also caused by Weidman in 2013, when he met with Anderson Silva. Fans of mixed martial arts perfectly remember the case when Silva broke his leg as a result of an unsuccessful low kick. The reason for the fracture was protection, competently set by Weidman. It was the second fight Chris had with Silva. The first meeting, held on July 6, 2013, also ended in favor of Weidman. Perhaps if Anderson behaved in a proper cage, he would have lost that fight by knockout.

The last battle of Chris took place on May 23, 2015. Recall that the battle took place between Weidman and Belfort. Technical knockout helped the first to win in 2 minutes and 53 seconds.

Conclusion

As mentioned in the beginning of the article, the rating of the MMA fighters can be based on the weights of the fighters. In addition, national ratings of amateur fighters and professional fighters are compiled. For example, the rating of Russia. Fighters of MMA, engaged professionally, in our country a lot. And many of them go not only to the All-Russia, but also the international level. In MMA, the rating of fighters is taken into account in the conduct of competitions, and is regularly adjusted by the corresponding sports commissions.

It should be noted that similar work is carried out separately and in the UFC. The ranking of the best MMA fighters includes 6 weight categories, as well as some other versions of the lists.
