Choose based purely from a quality-of-the-card point of view, not buyrates.​

to be truly objective, one has to wait 4 more years to see how the 2018 cards look in hindsight.

cause those 2014 cards look stacked in hindsight.

Rankings can help sift through hindsight and one could evaluate (to a certain extent) how many high ranked fighters are on the main card from then to now.

I agree, fights like Whittaker vs Thompson @UFC 170 wouldn't have had the same impact back then.
 
aside from the Lawler vs. Hendriks card, the cards today look better... The Khabib vs. Al card was plagued with injury but overall a great card

as others have pointed out, Woodley 4 years ago (or before he knocked out Lawler) was an irrelevant fight for most. Same can be said for other fighters
 
The ‘Dwyer Score’ is a scoring system designed to give a numeric value to the momentum of fighters competing at any one UFC event. It's an objective numerical quantification of the quality of a card.

Nah bro. Nah. You're an Amanda Nunes fan.

Yeah...

No one gave a shit about TJ Dillashaw and his reign... The bantamweight division didn't spark up until Cody hit the scene... the undercard pales in comparison to the Amanda Nunes card. That card is about as good or worse than this Saturdays.
 
I remember 2014 as the first year where everything fell apart.

Sorry. Mizugaki vs. Rivera and Varner vs. Krause were really anticipated fights. As was seeing Ellenberger was on the trajectory to getting cut... or a 45 year old Dan Henderson who was 1-3 in his last 4 against a former HW.

Except that score is based purely on win/losing streaks, not the quality of opponents.

Win streaks are objective. Quality of opposition isn't. The Dwyer score is an objective measure, it's not the be-all end-all.

I'm not questioning its objectivity, merely flaws in its methodology.

Worried? No.

Curious? Yes.

"Who cares?" - The fact that you commented in this thread shows that you do <Lmaoo>.
