The Elaborating System is widely used in evaluating the superiority and inferiority of players and teams in various sports such as football, baseball, basketball, billiards, go, e-sports, etc. Jung Chan-sung, one of the best mixed martial arts in Korea, is a featherweight (66kg) and Kim Dong-hyun is a welterweight (77kg).

If we approach it from the primitive perspective of who is the strongest in an indiscriminate competition without weight limit due to their ability in their heyday, light heavyweight class Jung-down is the strongest in Korean mixed martial arts history.
