A simple way I calculate is to take 105 and divide it by 16. You get close to 6 and a half (actually 6.5625). So the "average" fighter, the .500 fighter, should theoretically be somewhere between a 6 and a 7 rating. Figuring out expected win share for each rating based on this scheme is pretty simple, if not entirely scientific. Of course, it does not take into account points scored in KO, but then again, if your guy is over .500 and he is under a 6, you immediately know he is doing better than he theoretically should expect to do.

That's my rough formula, anyway.
