Elo ratings are worked out from UFC results only, so every fighter starts at 1,500 at their UFC debut whatever their record elsewhere. They are a ranking for fun, not a prediction. How they work.
Divisions lists every division a fighter had fought in by their peak, in the order they first did; a division's list includes anyone who fought in it before their peak. Showing the top 100.
