fightmatrix's top 25 p4p fighters of all time and their records against each other

[Blayt7hh]

some strange choices in that top 25

 

[Luvhawky]

Here's what they say (pretty sure their stats are provided by Fight metric):

 

[Bolshevik***]

fitch, marquardt, and edgar on this list?

 

[JayMachiavelli]

1. Anderson Silva 2-0-0 (0)
2. Georges St. Pierre 6-1-0 (0)
3. Fedor Emelianenko 2-1-0 (1)
4. Matt Hughes 3-4-0 (0)
5. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira 3-4-0 (1)
14. Nate Marquardt 0-1-0 (0)
18. Mauricio Rua 3-3-0 (0)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Stopped readin at GSP over Fedor.

Hughes over Big Nog & Marquardt over Shogun tells me all I need to know about this list.

 

[Bolshevik***]

That's a terrible, terrible list.

Urijah Faber higher than Wanderlei Silva?

Nate Marquardt higher than Shogun Rua?

And where is Kazushi Sakuraba and Mirko Crocop?

And how can Rashad Evans be higher than Jon Jones?

What a horrendous pile of fail.

what about faber higher than aldo?

 

[airman20012001]

1.Fedor Emelianenko
2.Anderson Silva
3.Georges St Pierre
4.Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
5.Dan Henderson
6.BJ Penn
7.Matt Hughes
8.Kazushi Sakuraba
9.Wanderlei Silva
10.Mauricio Shogun Rua
11.Rampage Jackson
12.Chuck Liddell
13.Randy Couture
14.Mirko Crocop

I would accept that

 

[ironfist05]

Thanks, do they not release their algorithm? They just tell you what they kinda considered? Can you send me the link where you found this?

IDK what their algorithm is, but my assumption is that it takes into account dominance, strenght of opposition, technique stats (IE: average takedowns landed per round), consistency, multidivisional success etc...

The explanation I wrote (the long one) was directly off of the Fightmatrix website

 

[Blayt7hh]

Jon Jones should be higher. I don't care if he's only been around a little while, he's destroyed top level opponents.

Yeah they are way off on him.

Looks better than the fightmatrix one.

 

[ironfist05]

IMO, it's not perfect, but it's respectable

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

Sean Sherk: 4 losses, all on this list. That's respectable.

how about BJ Penn? 11 fight record against these top p4p 25.

 

[ironfist05]

which brings up the question, what's more impressive? losing a lot of fights in a division not really meant for you, or staying dominant in a division where you're not at a size disadvantage

 

[The RuthlessOne]

I'm not a huge Jones fan, but come on. Below a number of guys who he has beaten as well as Fitch. Makes no sense.

 

[Zachery824]

That list is utter bullshit

 

[JKS]

I dont know about that list....a few things are off.

 

[Mufasatheking]

I agree with top 3

 

[Lightgrenade]

1- andy
2- gsp
3- fedor

honestly could be in any order but those are the big 3

 

[Nova Q]

Haha. Jones already beat 4 other top guys and Anderson only beat 2 others. That tells you who fights the better competition. Anderson fights bums. Jones fights legends.
