The base procedure for these rankings comes from here. I already asked the creator if it was okay that I did something similar, and he agreed. That said, here are my initial rules for these rankings (these are up for discussion, so please, discuss):

Winning

If a lower rank fighter beats a higher ranked fighter, he takes that fighter's rank.
If a lower ranked fighter beats a higher ranked fighter by disqualification, then the fighter does not take the higher ranked fighter's rank.

Losing

If a fighter loses, his rank goes down depending on the circumstances of the loss.
If a lower ranked fighter loses to a higher ranked fighter, the fighter's rank goes down by 1. A loss should always be penalized in ranking.
If a fighter loses by disqualification, he loses 5 ranks regardless of whether or not the fighter was the higher or lower ranked fighter.
If a higher ranked fighter loses to a lower ranked fighter, his rank will drop according to the decisiveness of the loss.
A majority or split decision loss drops the fighter 2 ranks.
A unanimous decision loss drops the fighter 3 ranks.
A loss due to cut drops the fighter's rank 4 ranks.
A loss due to any other type of TKO or Submission drops the fighter 5 ranks.

Draw

The higher ranked fighter's rank is unaffected by a draw.
The lower ranked fighter's rank may go up due to a draw. This is determined by the average of the two fighters' ranks, and rounded down. If a rank #20 fighter ties the rank #1 figher, then the fighter becomes rank #11.

Sliding

Ranking can change due to other fights.
For example, there is a rank #5 fighter. The rank #1 and rank #2 figher fight, and the rank #2 figher wins by KO. The rank #1 fighter drops to rank #6, and the rank #5 fighter becomes ranked #4.
It could work the opposite, if there is a rank #8 fighter, and the rank #10 fighter beats the rank #1 fighter by KO, the rank #10 becomes #1, the #1 becomes #6, and the #8 becomes #9.

Inactivity

If a fighter does not fight during a calendar year, he forfeits ranking.

Vacancy

If there is no #1 ranked fighter due to inactivity or disqualification, then the #1 spot will be determined by the #2 ranked fighter's next fight, with the winner becoming #1.

Tournaments

The first round a tournament the rankings are done just as in any other fight.
If it is the second fight (or more) in a night due to a tournament, a fighter cannot lose more than 3 ranks.

Organizations

Rankings are done per organization. There will be UFC rankings, Pride rankings, K-1 Hero rankings, and IFL rankings.
