Official ONE Championship MMA fighter rankings, as per latest press release (May 2023)
From ONE Championship: “ONE Championship’s official athlete rankings are determined by an independent panel of sports media members and industry experts following each event. The panel ranks the athletes on criteria including wins and losses, their most recent performances, and quality of competition.”
Our Note: While ONE Championship describes the panel as “independent,” it’s important to note that some members have close ties to the promotion. This includes ONE Championship executives Rich Franklin and Ann Osman, as well as Adam Kayoom, who is head coach of Evolve MMA gym, owned by ONE Championship’s founder and CEO, Chatri Sityodtong.
