So I wanted to see which division gets the most (and least) spotlight and promotion in the UFC. To figure that out I came up with a point system based on placement on cards.
PPV Main Event (4 points)
PPV Co Main (3 points)
FN Main Event (3 points)
PPV Main Card (2 points)
FN Main Card (1 point)
PPV Prelims (1 point)
FN Prelims (0 points)
PPV Early Prelims (0 points)
I focused on the top 10 fighters in each division plus the current champion to see which division’s contenders were being featured in the most prominent spots the most frequently, thus giving an idea of which division and it’s contenders are promoted the most. I used each fighter’s most recent fight that wasn’t for a title and it’s placement on a card.
Of course this method is imperfect and flawed to a degree. It should be taken merely as a point of reference and not as absolute fact.
