Media MMA Junkie's P4P rankings are hilarious

I always struggle with rankings to have someone still ranked above someone that beat them -- or even worse, when someone beat them, and that winner isn't ranked. If Mighty Mouse is 4, why isn't Adriano Moraes 3? He did starch MM after all, no controversy about it.
 
Don't worry, someone will be along to explain that P4P rankings aren't 'how fighters ranked based on current form and rankings placements' (which they should be), they're based on how each competitor's skills translate across different weight classes (which they shouldn't be, and which nobody has ever asked for).

Trust me, these sites often have completely arbitrary interpretations of P4P, when what everyone wants to ACTUALLY know is 'who is doing best regardless of weight class'.
 
Wait, so Bader is 7th, and Nemkov, who knocked him out, is nowhere to be seen?


Apparently, moving up to beat totally shot versions of King Mo and Fedor and wrestlefucking a guy with zero TDD is more impressive than beating fighters in their primes in your natural weight class.
