Fight Matrix

Fight Matrix is a mixed martial arts ranking system portal.^[1] It is one of the sport's most recognized ranking websites.^[2]

Software

According to website, "The rankings on this site are software generated, produced by a proprietary engine (CIRRS – Combat Intelli-Rating and Ranking System) and are based only on official results. There is no human intervention involved, which means that all bouts are considered in chronological order to determine the current rankings. The idea is to provide a list that is comparable to the 'popular thought' without bias. However, there are some prediction-based elements. So in summary, you could say the system is a hybrid of popular thought and prediction analysis."^[3][4]
