The Yearly Champion of the MTIA World Championship will automatically be Ranked number 1 over all other Contenders in their division over those who do not compete in the Championship. Although a Fighter that attends the Championship will be given higher consideration for ranking it will not always mean they will be ranked higher than non-championship fighters with a better winning record. All Other Fighters are ranked according to their performance on MTIA and non MTIA Sanctioned Events.
