Unlike UFC, One Championship has its own rankings based on the evaluation of experts as well as the media. They use some basic criteria to evaluate such as: the number of wins and losses, form in the last match, as well as the size of the event they attended and the level of the opponent was defeated.
Based on the above criteria, One Championship currently has a ranking charts in 13 competition contents. Up to now, no Vietnamese boxer is ranked in ONE Championship. Only two rare overseas Vietnamese fighters were ranked first, namely Thanh Le (Vietnamese -American) and Martin Nguyen (Australian of Vietnam).
A coincidence of Thanh Le and Martin Nguyen is that they are in the MMA ranking ranking ranking of the Featherweight. Thanh Le stood right under the Tang Kai, the boxer was holding the championship. The leading position belongs to Thanh Le until he lost to the Kai Tang himself in the last confrontation took place a few months ago.
Arranging 3 steps under 3 levels is Martin Nguyen in 4th place. This boxer has just spent a year of play not too successful. However, Martin Nguyen still has the name in the top 5 thanks to his previous victory. In addition, One Championship has a mechanism for boxers like Martin to stay in the rankings for quite a long time.
More specifically, the rankings in each content of One Championship only take into account the boxers who have been competing for the championship. If Martin Nguyen played in UFC, his rank would have dropped quite a lot after the past matches. But in ONE Championship, his weight class has quite a few matches, so Martin Nguyen can still be in the top 5.
The rating mechanism only takes into account the candidates of the One Championship championship that makes many good boxers have no ranking. One of them is Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat. “Lonely Cau Lon” had 2 matches that wins in the Muay arena of One. However, he has not yet reached the battle of belt so he has not been ranked.
