[If you're about to argue how the p4p list don't matter, don't bother posting, this thread is not for you.]

Ronda Rousey also went from once-ever fighter to not even making top 15 p4p.

Of note, Anderson Silva is also no longer on the list, rightfully so.

Miesha Tate must be the most disrespected champion in the UFC today. The UFC treats her as if she was a transitional champion. I am not saying that she isn't, but the UFC at least blindly hyped current champions no matter who they were. It use to be that if you were a champion, you get an automatic spot on that list. I guess that is no longer true.

She's not disrespected and Ronda was clearly over-hyped.

The problem is the women divisions just aren't competitive at the high end, Miesha exploited a massive hole in Hollys game just as holly did to Ronda and Ronda did to did to a bunch of girls. This shows that the sport of WMMA still has a long ways to go before it reaches a high level - sure we see single discipline dominance but its not well rounded. Which is to be expected as they could only make money in this when the UFC added females.

I don't think you can currently put any female fighter on the overall P4P list, the competition just isn't good enough and quite frankly its an insult to the likes of Jones, Lawler etc who face killers all the time. Ronda for the most part, beat a bunch of part time athletes and gym girls - disgracefully she was placed on the P4P list by SI above Jon Jones.

If the P4P list is an abstract list of the best fighters regardless of weight, well you still have to look at their competition to determine that greatest. I can go out and beat up 10 homeless men in a row, I don't deserve to be on the P4P list.
 
I'm honestly really surprised Ronda isn't on the list.

Hate aside, she is the wmma goat and will go down as a legend.
 
Interesting tidbit

But WTF is Bisping doing on there? lol

Why should she ? Fedor was dropped out of it after one loss back then due to Zuffa's campaigning and SD being UFC " shills " ...
And his record was way better so...

There wouldn't be enough quality WMMArtists to make a legit top ten on their own...
Unless you want 5-0 housewives who took up BJJ classes to lose fat to be on the list ?

I disagree. But it wouldn't work for the UFC because they only have two division at the moment so it would look a little bit silly. Which, I guess is probably their reason for not having them separate.......or they also want to promote the ladies.

Fedor was never on UFC's P4P list!
 
Disrespected? One of the most pathetic things in MMA was the Ronda hype - it was always obvious she was extremely overrated but some fans and many media outlets somehow thought she could compete with men. She can't, and neither can Miesha, that's why none of them are on any P4P list.

Rousey is a once ever athlete and is the king of all athletes. It's crazy to see what a single loss did to her.
 
Its better this way, bisping shouldnt be on it either. there is no point in having a p4p list if Its just a ranking of ufc champions

So we should just make another fictitious list that doesn't include the best fighters in the division... aka... the champions

Her Stand up got exposed as being atrocious when she could not bully her way in , don't have any issues with her being left off. WMMA right now is akin to when MMA was still getting its footing in the mid 90s to early 00s , though you expect the women to improve a bit more rabidly because there is better coaching.
