Fightful MMA Rankings: UFC & Bellator MMA (Updated: 4/8/2018)
As the curator of the Fightful MMA Rankings, I sought after to present everyone a heads as much as a big trade within the ratings gadget for 2018. Just to look what each and every weight magnificence would seem like, all combatants who haven't competed in over a yr (except for champions) had been got rid of from the ratings. This goes to be carried out like this all yr and combatants gets added again to the ratings after they compete once more.
