FightMatrix: Ranking the TUF Season 9 Welterweights

All fighters are ranked using their FightMatrix rating points as of 4/6/09. Some of the bout histories for these obscure fighters are incomplete, especially those from the UK, but we decided to use the information that we have to provide a ranking of said fighters. There is some "grouping" of closely rated fighters, so we are presenting them in tiers.

Awesome, though...

It looks like these might not be terribly predictive. In the first episode, #8 Wilks defeated #1 Mills, #10 Osipczak defeated #6 Maguire and #11 Amasinger defeated #9 Reid.
