Field notes
The homepage describes CIR as a rating built from opponent quality, performance, recency, and network strength, with rankings updated after completed UFC cards. It reports 8,865 analyzed bouts, 574 eligible fighters, and 100 ranked places. A beta historical calculator accepts a fighter and a source-complete date, while the weekly section records post-card changes; the page gives Alexa Grasso’s move to No. 35 after defeating Manon Fiorot as an example.
