The overall stats for all 82 fighters in UFC 2009 Undisputed have been revealed. For the most part, the stats seem to be fairly accurate with where their real-life counterparts fall in line. Not surprisingly, Anderson Silva, Georges St. Pierre, and BJ Penn are all rated the highest at a 94. Rashad Evans and Lyoto Machida (along with Anderson Silva) lead the pack in the light heavyweight division each with a 93. Frank Mir tops the heavyweight division with a 91.
As for the fighters who are no longer in the UFC, such as Cro Cop, Andrei Arlovski, Tim Sylvia and Tito Ortiz, they all seemed to be fairly rated (read: the UFC didn’t tell THQ to make them suck). Arlovski was assigned a respectable 88, although at least in my opinion he deserves to be in the 90’s ahead of Mir. THQ must not have heard all the interviews where Dana White buried Tim Sylvia after he got demolished by Fedor because he was only a point below Arlovski with a 87. Cro Cop comes in at a disappointing 83 (below Antoni Hardonk), reflective of his stint in the UFC. Tito tips the scales at an 86, right in the middle of the 205 lbs. pack.
As MDS points out, there is one fighter who really got screwed—Keith Jardine. He’s ranked fourth from the bottom in the light heavyweight division with a 79, well below fighters he’s beaten including Forrest Griffin, Chuck Liddell, Brandon Vera and Wilson Gouveia. He’s rated higher than Houston Alexander, whom he lost to, though.
Also, this new list shows Diego Sanchez playable as a lightweight.

It really doesn’t make sense for Jardine to be ranked so low. I also dislike how THQ decided that fighters who fight in two weight-classes might only lose one point when slotted in their weaker of the two divisions. How is BJ Penn a 93 in the welterweight class and two points ahead of Alves? Sean Sherk is also ranked much too high in the welterweight class.
I’m a supporter of THQ allowing these fighters to be playable in more than one weight class, but would it be so difficult to alter their statistics to be on par with how they might fare in real life against the rest of the competitors?
Good point.
Joe Lauzon should be be happy to know he isn’t the worst fighter in the game.
moffat is totally right about about how sherk shouldnt be 2 from the top at welterweight when he definitely isnt…how is irvin and bader higher ranked then jardine,thats a complete joke..whats even more insane is how amir is higher up then Gouveia,swick,leben,mcdonald,tanner,mcfedries..cmon guys theres something wrong with that
