The Official Fightfan.net Amateur Power Rankings
The power rankings are a snapshot of who the hottest prospects in Colorado MMA are right now. It’s not a “who can beat everybody”, but more a look at who is winning the most fights.
The rankings are based on who has the most wins in their weight class first, and then who has been the most effective in those wins over the last twelve month period. So, a finish is going to be worth more than a decision. In the case of a fighter with wins in multiple weight classes, the main weight class fought in will be used to rank the fighter.
