Schedule Score
Who they've faced × what they've done. Percentile-ranked across every UFC fighter w/ ≥3 resolved bouts. Recent fights weighted heavier.
Every UFC opponent is scored by where they were ranked and what their UFC record was at the time of that fight — not where they sit today. Schedule strength is the recency-weighted average of opponent quality; quality wins scores actual results against that schedule (finishes count more than splits, losses cost the full opp quality). The headline is a percentile rank against every UFC fighter with at least three resolved bouts. Note: UFC ranking data is sparse before December 2018, so legacy-era fighters score from opponent UFC record-at-time when ranks are missing.

| L | Cesar Marscucci | Unproven | 8 | Oct 16, 1998 |
Per-bout quality scoring: champion = 100; same-division ranks 1–5 = 90 → 78 linear; ranks 6–15 = 75 → 60 linear; cross-division champion = 78; cross-division ranked = 45; title-fight challenger (no rank signal) = 50, bumped to 65 when opp had an elite career UFC record at the time. Unranked opponents are scored on UFC record-at-time (long-tenured vet 60, contender-level 45, established 30, building 18, unproven 8). P4P top-10 at time adds +5; top-3 adds +8 (capped at 100). The Schedule Score combines schedule strength (65%) and quality wins (35%), then is held toward a rookie baseline for fighters with limited UFC experience so a thin résumé reads honestly low.
