At FIGHT! Magazine, we believe there is a need for a completely objective and unbiased ranking system for fighters to replace the myriad subjective rankings that have become skewed, in many instances, by fighter popularity. In an effort to address this issue FIGHT! Magazine brings you its computerized rankings system which takes into account a fighters strength of opponent, strength of performance, and frequency of activity.
Rudy Bears was the only ranked fighter on the card at the start of the night but five other fighters logged their third qualifying bout in Kansas City and entered our rankings when the curtain fell on Bellator 26.
