UFC 3-Year "Standings": Middleweight Division

by Richard on Jul 2, 2008 6:33 PM EDT

I assume at th point you've already seen my explanation for the standings here and here, so without further ado:

EDIT: “Fights Back” is just “Games Back” like you’d find in the standings of any other sport in the newspaper. The equation is (FighterAWins – FighterBWins + FighterBLosses – FighterALosses) / 2. That’s the determining factor because it in my opinion it doesn’t make sense for 1-0 to trump say 3-1.

With all the bashing he gets, one forgets just how many fights Chris Leben has won in the UFC. I mean, with the amount of crap he takes some places you'd think he was Pete Sell.

Huh?

I get everything except the “FB” stats. In the other post, you mentioned it stands for “Fights Back”. What does that mean and how is that the determining factor?

“Fights Back” is just “Games Back” like you’d find in the standings of any other sport in the newspaper. The equation is (FighterAWins – FighterBWins + FighterBLosses – FighterALosses) / 2. That’s the determining factor because it in my opinion it doesn’t make sense for 1-0 to trump say 3-1.

Oh, okay, gotcha. I was unaware the “Games Back” statistic existed at all. However, now that I do know, I agree with you. Taking “Fights Back” into account, when coupled with the fighter’s record, paints a more complete picture of where that fighter ought to stand relative his division.

Chris Leben is horrible, just horrible. He gets lucky. He lands a lucky left wins. If he was right handed, he would be passed out in a gutter somewhere in a pile of his own puke and piss. Wait, he is like that now and left handed

7-3 in the UFC...

is hardly the mark of a horrible fighter. He may not be elite…but he is far from horrible.
