After getting inputs from multiple places (including Sherdog forum), we made some changes in our All Time Ranking algorithm.
Here I will present the final numbers and the theory behind new formulas.
It will take me some time to put everything into this thread, so be patient.
You are welcomed to scrutinized any number or formula and let me know what would you like to see.
Before I go into theory, I will give some numbers as an example.
Here is what probably most people are interested in. Top 20 All Time Ranking:
A few comments about top 20:
Most of the top fighters are close to have final ATT number.
AS and GSP will still add a few points, but I don't believe it will be more than 20 additional points.
Fedor, Hughes, B.J, Randy, Chuck - they are all done and ATT should be final.
Big Nog and Dan might add few more points.
Aldo and Jones will continue going up rapidly. Next quarter (April 2015) they should pass Wanderlei.
In 1 year from now they should both add additional 120 to 150 points. That should put them at #4 and #5.
Jones has shorter career than Aldo, but he is accumulating points faster. If that trend continues, Jones should pass Aldo in 3 or 4 Quarters.
Of course, that all depends on how they do in the future fights.
Fedor is only top 20 fighter without UFC fight.
Only Urijah and Gomi were never in top 3 P4P (Gomi was #4 once).
