Ranking Philosophy

The ranking system is built around competitive integrity.
A fighter's position is determined by their overall career performance within PCF, not by popularity or personal preference.
The goal of the ranking system is to ensure that championship opportunities are earned fairly.

How Rankings Are Determined

The administration evaluates several factors when updating the rankings.

Match Results
Winning is the most important factor.
Consistent victories against quality opponents significantly improve a fighter's ranking.
Losses may result in a ranking decrease depending on the circumstances.

---

Strength of Opposition

Not every victory carries the same value.
Defeating a highly ranked opponent is rewarded more than defeating a lower-ranked fighter.
Likewise, losing to a lower-ranked opponent may have a greater impact than losing to an elite contender.
