Methodology

Fighter records and bout histories are compiled from publicly available MMA records. For major-promotion fighters (UFC, PFL, ONE, Bellator and other headline rosters) we additionally verify records, weights and photos against official promotion sources before they are surfaced as curated profiles.

When two sources disagree, we favour the event/result record over a fighter's summary page, and we publish only what we can reasonably stand behind rather than guessing at gaps.

Only professionalbouts contribute to the win–loss–draw records and to every leaderboard on the site. A “finish” means a win by knockout (KO/TKO) or submission; bouts that reach the judges are counted as decisions. Draws and no-contests are recorded separately and never folded into wins or losses.

Every figure on our Facts and Records pages is computed directly over the full fighter database — not a hand-picked subset. Distribution facts (for example, “how do MMA fights end?”) are aggregated across every recorded result and reported as percentages, so they stay accurate even as new fights are added. Career totals such as most wins or most knockouts are read straight from each fighter's verified record columns.

Records are objective counts. Rankings are not. Our divisional and pound-for-pound rankings are maintained editorially by the MMAHIT desk and reflect informed opinion, not an automated formula. Separately, our fan rankings are decided entirely by reader voting. Neither changes a fighter's underlying record.

Fighter photography is sourced from official promotion media and freely licensed sources (such as Wikimedia) where available. Where we hold no rights-cleared image, a neutral placeholder is shown instead of an unverified photo.

Major promotions are reviewed as results come in; the wider historical archive is refreshed on a rolling basis. Combat-sports records inevitably contain historical gaps and the occasional disputed result — if you spot something wrong, tell us and we will check it against the sources.
