The IMMAF recently released their amateur MMA world rankings. The rankings will be used to determine match-ups in future IMMAF Competions.
It seems that fighters who fought at the recent World Championships are the only ones selected, possibly due to the impossible scope of ranking every amateur fighter in the world. And also it seems the rankings will only be affected by fights taking place in official IMMAF competitions like the upcoming European Championships in the UK this November.
Here are a list the Irish MMA representative who were ranked in the top 10 in their respective weight divisions:
Women’s
145lbs- Sinead Kavanagh (ROI) ranked 2nd
Men’s
125lbs- Mark McGlinchey (NI) ranked 5th
135lbs- Carl McNally (NI) ranked 3rd
