What the hell is wrong with this UFC rankings?

[Panmisiek]

In HWs, JDS is gone from the ranking and Cain is 4th despite being inactive.

What?

this is what's wrong- their opening statement:

Rankings were generated by a voting panel made up of media members.

A fighter is only eligible to be voted on if they are in active status in the UFC.

Whenever a big name fighter has a fight coming up they bump them up the rankings to hype the fight more.

Whenever a big name fighter has a fight coming up they bump them up the rankings to hype the fight more.

or, "it's a public poll, and whenever a big name fighter has a fight coming up, the general public instinctively and wrongheadedly bumps him up in the rankings."

those who don't argue that the rankings are 100% fake must acknowledge this 2nd viewpoint. human bias is real.

Junior got caught and chrome dome wants to push Cain to be next for Stipe so he can finally kill Stipe.


Dana will do everything and anything to remove Stipe.lol

 

[Scorpz]

Cain hasn't fought since UFC 200.. July 9th, 2016

 

[Th3Sav4ge]

paige shouldnt even be on any rank

Rob font is still under almeida

Darren till is above Kamaru usman

Yair rodriguez is somehow top 10

Cyborg is under people on the pound for pound list with 1 or 2 title defenses.

Mcgregor being p4p number 2 even though he got choked out by nate the same year he won the belt. no defenses. not taking away from conor winning 2 titles. but p4p number 2 is retarded especially when dc and stipe are active and fighting/defending


fuck the ufc rankings.

HW is laughably thin. That's what you get when you pay like shit.

This and I'm also assuming the UFC gives them a list of fighters to rank. So JDS was probably not in the available choices while Cain was.

Cuz of all those fans in Mexico that love Cain so much, gotta placate them.
They’d be furious if Cain was removed from the rankings for inactivity.

Not updated yet, so wait for Almeida-Font. Paige has to be ranked, WFLW is weak asf and she is better than some girls. Darren Till has the best win (Cerrone) of Till-Usman. Rodriguez is 6-1 at UFC.

Agree about the leprechaun.

kamaru usman has a better ufc resume than darren till. i dont care how much people like cerrone, he was aon a 2 fight losing streak at the time. and till was unranked or top 15 at best.

I agree about overall WW resume, but the best win belongs to Till, Cerrone > anyone Usman fought.

Cerrone was 4-2 and beat Story, Brown, Cote, Oliveira.. 3 guys that were ranked and former title challenger Cote. He was a legit top 10, Usman didn't fought a top 10 yet.
