Mandatory Credit: Chris Unger\/Zuffa LLC via USA TODAY Sports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>There is constant debate about the &#8220;official&#8221; UFC fighter rankings, which are based on voting from a panel of journalists. \u00a0Such is the case with something as subjective as voting &#8211; it&#8217;s totally based on voter&#8217;s opinion, and biases are bound to seep through, whether intentional or no. \u00a0So to try to put a fresh, objective, data-driven spin on rankings, The MMA Manifesto has come up with a performance based ranking system, solely based on how a fighter has performed in the cage. \u00a0Next up: <strong>The Middleweights.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>*stipulations: 1) any fighter currently suspended or 2) inactive for at least 12 months (without an upcoming fight scheduled) are excluded from the rankings\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Scoring based on a fighter&#8217;s past 10 UFC performances (we use a five year time limit, so if they have fought less than 10 times in past five years, only the fights within that time frame are counted)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Points based on a fighter&#8217;s opponent&#8217;s UFC win\/loss record (ie strength of schedule &#8211; the more successful a vanquished opponent is, the more points awarded), extra points given for finishes, extra points given for title fight wins. \u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Points are weighed so most recent fights are worth more (ie most recent fight counts the most, 10th most recent fight the least)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>No points awarded for a loss<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(first column performance based ranking, second column is last ranking, third column is official UFC ranking from <a
