CageMetrix Rates MMA Fighters by the Opponents They Face
An interactive UFC analytics site that adjusts fighter ratings for opponent quality, recent form, schedule strength, and sample size.
Field notes
The model compares each fighter’s output with what an opponent normally produces and permits, then applies extra weighting to recency, opponent strength, and current-division context. Its category scores are normalized within divisions, while sample strength combines bout count and cage time rather than claiming predictive confidence. The page also labels small-sample fighters provisional and distinguishes technical performance from competitive results and schedule strength.
