Fight Index
A Nebraska MMA feature
The system behind the rankings.
NFI stands for Nebraska Fight Index. It is Nebraska MMA's independent rankings and fighter-evaluation system—not a separate website. NFI powers the professional and amateur boards, NFI OVR, 34-attribute scouting files, and fighter archetypes.
