Read this with care
H&G All-Time Index v2.0.0 is a fixed public release, not a live database. A fighter can top one of these lists and still rank lower overall. The all-time score blends several things: how good they were in their fights, how far ahead of their rivals they stood, how tough their opponents were, their title record, and how long they stayed near the top.
For disputed placements, use the fighter page, methodology page and corrections process rather than treating one number as the whole argument.
