Welcome to the latest edition of the Minnesota MMA News Unified Rankings.

We apologize for the delay on these rankings; we're still looking for new voters. Several voters from our regular 10-person panel have failed to vote for more than six months. If you're a fighter, a gym owner, a manager, a promoter, a matchmaker, even a fan who regularly attends events, and you're willing to vote every month, please contact us. We'd love to have some fresh blood, a few new people willing to vote every month. The amazing fighters in this great state deserve it! If you're at all interested and want more details, contact Ben Pherson at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it as soon as possible.

Now on to the rankings...

Rankings are compiled using votes from 10 panelists (when they get their votes in) from around the state and throughout the Minnesota MMA scene. Fighters must be active within the last 12 months to qualify. They also must be Minnesota natives, residents or have fought the majority of their fights within the state.

Starting in September, the rankings will once again be monthly as the local schedule picks up.
