Ranking Criteria

A fighter can be ranked if he/she was raised in or is permanently living in one of the Nordic countries (Iceland, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden).  We are also including Estonian fighters that are actively fighting in the Nordics.

Quality of wins, not an opinion regarding which fighter would win in a match-ups or an athlete’s potential, is the main criteria for the rankings.  More recent wins and losses are weighed heavier than older wins and losses.  Fighters are listed as inactive if they have not fought a professional MMA in a year and do not have plans to fight in the near future.
