what is a good/bad win/loss ratio? randy couture has 19/11. bj penn is 16/7. i just used them as an example. both have lost round a bout half the number of wins. as they are both legends of mma, that must be acceptable then? chuck liddell is 21/8. forrest griffin is 18/6. both of these have a little better win/loss ratio. so using two fighters, one has fought 30 times, and the other 20 times, what is the number of losses in each case that identifies them as having not too good a record? what would be the magical number for each one? i don't mean he's fought 20 times and lost 20 times of course. obviously a guys record doesn't tell the whole story of the fighter. randy and bj have won ROUGHLY 50% more fights than they've lost, so that is ok. using randy at 19/11, when does the figure in the lost column say he's[or anyone] an average fighter, or a bad one? hope i've managed to explain this correctly.
:deal as everyone has losses its all about runs of form. Look at ortiz for example hes 1/2 fights from a possible title shot but look at his last fights before bader.
