This tournament will without a doubt, reshape the Lightweight rankings. The rankings below are current, with the latest code, which shouldn’t be much different than the live rankings.
Some of the fighters are matched much harder than others! So much for seeding…

Ranking Note: Gray font represents an approximate ranking. An asterisk represents a fighter who is ranked, but too low for an approximation. These two scenarios will clear up slightly as we move forward. “NR” means the fighter is not ranked, due to inactivity, or due to a rating that is at or below the default starter rating.
