How the scores work
Every fighter is measured against the fighters who actually got signed. Same rules for everyone, built only on public fight records.
Collect
Records come from Tapology first, then Sherdog.
Verify
When sources disagree, we research other reputable sources.
Score
Each fighter is compared with the profile of real signings.
Check
Every published score is rechecked automatically before the site updates.
Two scores, never combined
ONE ASCENT
Built from the fighters ONE Championship has signed since 2023, using their records on the day they signed.
DWCS/UFC ASCENT
Built from the fighters the UFC brings in through the Contender Series. High scores also fit the fighters it signs directly.
Both compare finish rate within a fighter's own division, since heavyweights finish far more often than flyweights.
Limits
- Nobody publishes the fighters who were looked at and passed over, so the scores describe what signed fighters look like.
- It says nothing about who wins a fight.
