“The birthplace of MMA.”
Those were the words uttered by Mike Goldberg during the UFC 142 broadcast. Although the sport of MMA isn’t a Brazilian creation, the most synonymous name with MMA is Gracie.
Other than the plain old pound-for-pound rankings, you can’t find too many ranking systems out there. This system follows the same guidelines but groups the fighters based on their nationality.
I plan on doing multiple pieces on multiple nations and what better way to start off than with country with the richest history in MMA and the UFC.
