\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a>\u2019s new rankings system is now
\nlive.<\/p>\n
\nintroduced its Meta UFC rankings on Monday. The rankings are
\ndescribed as \u201ca new athlete evaluation system transforming how
\nfighters are assessed; offering fans, athletes and media, an
\nobjective, data-driven view of the sport’s competitive
\nlandscape.\u201d<\/p>\n
\ndata,\u201d mark a departure from the previous rankings that were voted
\non by members of the media. UFC CEO Dana White has consistently
\nvoiced his displeasure with the previous rankings, a sentiment he
\nechoed in Monday\u2019s press release. UFC.com visitors can still toggle
\nbetween Meta and media-based rankings.<\/p>\n
\nto be a better way,\u201d White stated. \u201cWe\u2019ve always been a company
\nthat runs toward technology and innovation, and now we\u2019ve worked
\nwith Meta to integrate it directly into our rankings system. I\u2019m
\nexcited to see how this innovation can help change the sport for
\nboth the fans and the athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nrecent event. According to the release, \u201cthe system combines
\nstatistical modeling and machine learning with the deep domain
\nexpertise of the UFC. It evaluates a comprehensive set of objective
\nmetrics, including outcome probability, win type, fighter
\ntrajectory, and weight-class sensitivities.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nvictory over a higher-ranked opponent will carry more weight than a
\nvictory against a lower-ranked adversary. Fighters are penalized
\nfor inactivity, and more recent bouts have greater impact on the
\nlatest rankings. As a result, the release claims that an athlete\u2019s
\nplacement in the rankings \u201caccurately reflects their true
\ncompetitive performance inside the Octagon \u2014 nothing else.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nmore transparent and accurate rankings,” said Meta founder and CEO
\nMark Zuckerberg.<\/p>\nUp for Debate<\/h2>\n

\nRountree<\/a>, who defeated Hill in his most recent Octagon
\nappearance last June. Meanwhile, the emphasis on recency is
\nespecially evident at women\u2019s bantamweight, where Joseyne Edwards
\nchecks in at No. 1 ahead of former champs like Julianna
