At LW RDA was the champ and beat Cerrone (x2), Benson Henderson, Nate Diaz, and Anthony Pettis.
Now he's at WW 3-0, with a win over Neil Magny and former champ robbie lawler. He destroyed robbie lawler in every way. He won nearly every round, didn't gas out, outboxed him, outwrestled him, and etc... It was a masterful performance.

RDA should definitely be in the p4p list.
 
He should be. Amazing fighter.

Cody is legit and still in his prime. No shame in that loss considering how busted he is now. Cody and TJ could swap that belt for years.
 
Let's just throw all the champions on the list in some random order.
 
Well sir rankings are bullshit.

UFC probably won't put RDA on that list since he lost to Eddie.
 
Probably because he got starched by Alvarez and then got completely outclassed by ferguson. Not that losing to those guys is bad but it doesn’t get you on the p4p list. He’s had some wins lately at ww but Robbie is the only elite one and that just barely happened.

Nah, Tj and Cody were the first legit strikers Cruz fought and look what happend. He won a robbery against TJ and Cody straight up destroyed him. Wonder where his 'movement' was that fight.
 
P4P is a fictional ranking system that means nothing in terms of our physical world as we know it.
 
Don't see how GSP jumped to #2 after beating Michael Bloody Bisping.

I don't think any women belong on the list, personally. I reckon Cruz could easily go (great as he is he fights too infrequently) and I'm not convinced GSP belongs there either (GOAT though). RDA belongs at 9 or 10 IMO.

EDIT:

As @tat2man5k said, Conor should probably go too due to inactivity.

Tj didn't beat Dom imo. At best it was a draw. And Cody has the perfect style to beat him. Dom is legit which is why TJ took so many aspects if his style. He's just getting old and busted now. Neither of them fought him in his prime.

Which aspects did he take? They have completely different styles. The casuals think it's the same because they both move a lot but it's very different.

The shell of the stance is very similar. The big similarities are in how they use their foitwork. TJ moves in the same way while applying stance switching. The striking is different as Dom better mixes in wrestling at any moment while TJ is better at mixing in kicks.

It's actually a pretty brilliant adaptation of an effective style on TJ's part.
