Conor McGregor moves up in the P4P rankings again for doing nothing

That's awesome.
 
So Khabib, who is the undefeated champ of Conor's division and the betting favorite, is 6 spots lower on the list than the guy who's been inactive for 2 years?

<YeahOKJen>

This is like when Conor decided to fight Cabo Nate who wasn't even in the top 10 but suddenly jumped up like 5 or 6 spots as soon as the fight was signed.
 
How to fuck is a guy who got stopped by a high level gatekeeper/low level contender not too long ago, and is 2-1 in his weight class number two pound for pound in the first place? Pure idiocy.

Check your facts. Nate has just beaten 6th ranked Michael Johnson. Nate when to 6th. By the time of the fight Pettis had dropped out of the division so Nate moved to 5th.

The logic isn't too far from the truth though. As it is the very definition of what p4p even means. BJ Penn for example was one of the best p4p fighters ever because of his willingness to move up.

Whether Conor should even be ranked after not fighting in MMA for 2 years Is another matter.

Had his accomplishments in MMA been recent, It would be very justifiable

This 100% had to do with the Khabib fight announcement and had nothing to do with anyone else winning or losing.

So had nothing to do with DJ falling 4 spots? You know, the guy who was ahead of him?

I get not liking what Conor does. I like head down, go-to-work type guys myself. I root for grapplers, but Conor haters break my heart. This guy is great for MMA. As a character, it's almost as good as it gets for combat sports. Enjoy the show.
 
This means one thing, and one thing only: that Dana is moving the McGregor piece into play again.

Something's about to go down..

P4P is one of the most meaningless lists in all of sports.

Just did. This is from 10 days before the fight.

Lightweight

1. Rafael dos Anjos (25-7)
Dos Anjos’ first UFC title defense could hardly have gone better, as the Brazilian ace tore through Donald Cerrone in 66 seconds to end 2015 with gold around his waist. The Kings MMA product has lost just once in his last 11 outings, an April 2014 decision defeat against Khabib Nurmagomedov. Dos Anjos was slated to defend his belt against featherweight king Conor McGregor at UFC 197, but a broken foot forced the Brazilian to withdraw.

2. Donald Cerrone (28-7, 1 NC)
Cerrone may be one of the most exciting fighters in the lightweight division, but “Cowboy” continues to stumble when it matters most. His bid to take the UFC title from Rafael dos Anjos lasted only 66 seconds, as Cerrone wilted under an early onslaught from the champion. The loss snapped an eight-fight, two-year unbeaten streak during which Cerrone bested the likes of Benson Henderson, Eddie Alvarez and Edson Barboza. He recently moved up for a fight at 170 pounds, where he submitted Alex “Cowboy” Oliveira with a first-round triangle choke.

3. Eddie Alvarez (27-4)
Alvarez utilized a gritty, grapple-heavy game plan to grind out Anthony Pettis during their three-round Jan. 17 bout in Boston, and the result was a much-needed decision win for the former Bellator champion. After stumbling in his UFC debut against Donald Cerrone, Alvarez has won back-to-back nods against Pettis and Gilbert Melendez, albeit by slim margins.

4. Anthony Pettis (18-4)
In his first fight since losing the UFC lightweight title to Rafael dos Anjos, “Showtime” was once again suffocated by aggressive grappling, this time at the hands of Eddie Alvarez. Pettis’ split decision loss to Alvarez on Jan. 17 marked the first time the Milwaukee native has dropped back-to-back bouts in his nine-year career. The Duke Roufus understudy will be back in the cage at UFC 197 in April, when he slings leather with Edson Barboza.

5. Tony Ferguson (20-3)
Over the course of two years and seven straight victories, Ferguson has become one of the hottest commodities in the UFC’s famously deep lightweight division. The former “Ultimate Fighter” winner’s latest conquest came at “The Ultimate Fighter 22” Finale, where he tapped Edson Barboza with a second-round brabo choke in the show’s thrilling “Fight of the Night.” Ferguson has been penciled in for an April 16 clash with returning contender Khabib Nurmagomedov.

6. Will Brooks (16-1)
Brooks maintained his spot atop the Bellator MMA lightweight division by defending his title with a five-round unanimous decision over Polish submission wiz Marcin Held on Nov. 6. The 29-year-old American Top Team fighter’s record includes wins over veteran names like John Alessio and Satoru Kitaoka, as well as a pair of victories against ex-titlist Michael Chandler.

7. Beneil Dariush (12-1)
Dariush got his fifth win in 12 months when he nabbed a close and controversial split decision from Michael Johnson on Aug. 8 in Nashville. Though his takedowns were stuffed throughout the 15-minute affair, the Kings MMA product kept busy with leg kicks and came on strong in the final frame to earn the nod from two of the three judges. Dariush’s current hot streak also includes victories against Jim Miller and Daron Cruickshank. A matchup with “The Ultimate Fighter” winner Michael Chiesa awaits on April 16.

8. Al Iaquinta (12-3-1)
Iaquinta snatched a highly controversial split decision from Jorge Masvidal in their April encounter, but his previous three wins -- technical knockouts of Joe Lauzon, Ross Pearson and Rodrigo Damm -- were unquestionable. The New Yorker was slated to compete on July 15 in San Diego, but an injury to Bobby Green and a failed drug test from Gilbert Melendez left Iaquinta without an opponent. Iaquinta has since undergone knee surgery and will be out of commission until the middle of 2016.

9. Edson Barboza (16-4)
Barboza fought tooth-and-nail with Tony Ferguson for nearly eight minutes before succumbing to a second-round brabo choke from “El Cucuy.” The setback leaves Barboza with a 1-2 record in 2015, with a decision win over Paul Felder sandwiched between losses to Ferguson and Michael Johnson. The former Ring of Combat champion has been booked opposite Anthony Pettis at UFC 197 on April 23.

10. Evan Dunham (17-6)
Dunham had a few rough years in the UFC lightweight division but resurfaced in 2015 with a trio of solid victories. The all-action Oregonian this year earned decision wins over Ross Pearson, Rodrigo Damm and, most recently, Joe Lauzon. Dunham will test his newfound momentum against Leonardo Santos on May 14 in Brazil.

Other Contenders: Nate Diaz, Justin Gaethje, Michael Johnson, Rustam Khabilov, Adriano Martins.

He's so good that even just existing makes him better than you
 
It should be:
1)DC
2)MM
3)Dillashaw
4)Khabib
5)McGregor (if we want to include him)

Conor has not fought in 2 fucking years. Is 2-1 in his last 3 and clearly has holes in his game. Lost a fight where he got FINISHED. MM lost a close dec which could have gone to him too. MM is 14-1 in his last 15. ranking voters should count that too. It's not if you lose or not but how you lose.
DC was finished by Jones. Whether it was legal fight or not he still got finished.

Aw shit my bad. I just saw this was P4P. I thought this was about his artificial bump on the LW rankings.
 
Looks like you have Steve Joun, and David Brown to thank for a lot of this.

@angrymarks is Joun’s twitter.

I can’t find much on David Brown besides he works for the prestigious Cherokee Scout.

I don’t know who any of these fucking guys or gals are.

He TKO'd a bus and any real legal action from that. He's 2-0 this year alone.

Lol at DJ dropping 4 places for losing a close decision. Now since DJ lost to Henry Cejudo, Max Holloway, GSP and Dillashaw would now be able to beat him if they were his weight.

Don't you love the P4P nonsense? Don't take it seriously and ignore it if you can.

Are you saying Max Holloway wouldn't be able to beat DJ?
