Originally the site was designed around a higher cutoff. However, I took the time to run the numbers with assorted cutoffs and even when no cutoff is specified the results remain inline with what is expected. Please keep in mind that the scope and intent of the site is to measure all MMA fights. However, I have checked numbers previously (not sure if they are in a rant somewhere or on the forums or not) across a multitude of subsets: - UFC only fights - UFC + pride - Last 3 years - etc. Sample size will always be a major issue when dealing with MMA and although the results are similar to what's expected with the smaller subsets, it also has a lot more variance. I think it's important to keep in mind that all the fighters shown on the site are connected. When you look at the site you are looking at all ufc fighters and all the fighters they have fought and all of the fighters those fighters have fought. The MMA landscape is a huge interconnected web, and I think some people lose site of that at times. The six fight cutoff was actually a specific request from someone.
