OK then.
Here are few more details about formula:

This score is based on the number of times (from quarterly historical rankings) fighter was

- ranked in Pound for Pound rankings as: top1P4P, top5P4P, top8P4P, top20P4P

- ranked in Weight Category rankings as: top1Ctg, top3Ctg, top5Ctg, top10Ctg

- having Current Score more than: 800 points, 700 points, 600 points, 400 points



BestRankings

Score for the best rankings (combined P4P and Category rankings) achieved in the career.

If someone was at some point ranked #1 in Category, he gets 28 points.

For #1 P4P ranking you get 32 points and in addition to that you have 28 points for #1 Ctg – for maximum total of 60 points.

For #1 Ctg and #3 P4P you get total of 52 points (32 Ctg + 20 P4P).

For #3 Ctg and #10 P4P you get total of 34 points (24 Ctg + 10 P4P).

For #11 Ctg and #66 P4P you get total of 14 points (12 Ctg + 2 P4P).

Meh, I respect the work you put into it. I'm not arguing any numbers or formulas you are using.

But just by the eye test and history I put Dan Henderson higher and Rampage lower. Also not sure why Ken Shamrock makes it but Royce doesn't?

John8204

Because it's Frank who should be much higher. The biggest issue I would have is this is a GOAT list not p4p. Tito doesn't belong on a p4p list, Tito is sub.500 against real LHW's.

As for who is the p4p greatest...I think Matt Hughes and his wins over BJ and GSP rank him as #1. You say Anderson Silva is the best p4p but look at the list he's only beaten 1 other guy (Dan Henderson) on the list.

I think p4p I would go
1. Hughes
2. Fedor
3. Henderson
4. GSP
5. Couture

Actually I do have Royce on the list, just is a little bit lower:

33. Ken Shamrock - ( 682 )
34. Cain Velasquez - ( 679 )
35. Benson Henderson - ( 678 )
36. Renato Sobral - ( 674 )
37. Hayato Sakurai - ( 668 )
38. Jake Shields - ( 667 )
39. Vitor Belfort - ( 657 )
40. Paulo Filho - ( 655 )
41. Royce Gracie - ( 652 )

Now, you can argue that Royce should be higher.
I say, he was dominant in 1994, but most of the fighters in those first few UFC tournaments had no name and no skills.
Ken had much better competition in Pancrase and later in UFC.

But it is close - 30 points difference.
This career graph might help here:



Ken had higher peaks and a longer career, but overall their historical career line looks similar.

Oh man I hope they never come up with a (PER) for MMA like they did for the NBA. John Hollinger created it when Lebron James was in his third season to basically show how great of a player he was. It's such a flawed stat though.

Here is link to Player Efficiency Rating (PER) if anyone cares...
