Why does the UFC even bother to produce this segment? The rankings mean fuck-all. The rankings aren't taken seriously by the UFC or the fans.

Not really.. they're taken serious by UFC, by fans and by commissions. If rankings didn't mean anything, fighters wouldn't complain about them/their respective positions.

P4P rankings are useless/meaningless, but weight class rankings matter.

#weight class rankings matter.

You tell em bro.

They don't really. How do you explain GSP fighting Bisping if rankings matter? Or Conor fighting Eddie? Or almost any fight I can think of?

I disagree. Number 1 ranked contenders fighting the champ is a rarity now.

GSP fighting Bisping
Nate Diaz is still ranked hasn't fought in 1,000,000 years
Conor is still ranked and hasn't fought in 900,000 years
Conor fought Eddie for the title despite not being ranked in the division at all.
Does it matter that Benavidez, Cejudo and Borg are ranked #1, 2, 3? No. They aren't getting title shots again anytime soon. If rankings mattered DJ would 9-0 against Benavidez alone.

I could go on and on with examples of how the rankings are completely disregarded.

The biggest problem I have with the rankings is often times a guy will be ranked lower in the division but higher on p4p than the guys who's ahead of them in the division. Doesn't make sense to me

I agree, though the counter-argument could be that P4P ranks over a longer time period, while the divisional ranks are a snapshot of the division currently. However, I think that is weak, so I agree with you.

Yea at that point you just change the title, is this current p4p, past 5 yrs, etc..
I guess I just view it as current

Ask Felder if rankings matter

I didn't even know they did a show to discuss them.

Its like that UFC Filtered Podcast - who the fuck listens to that shit?

Rankings aren't there to establish contenders.

Agree that Diaz and McGregor should be removed due to inactivity.

2 cases where rankings were ignored, true, i'll give you that, but usually they matter, not only for titleshots but also for payment scale, card position, promotion etc

You can trick the casuals though, and that's what the UFC wants.

 

[Crystaline Entity]

It was not that long ago when there were no rankings. It almost seemed better then because at least fighters were not expecting title shots because of rankings only to get skipped for money fights. Then, they just made the money fights and nobody noticed.

 

[Emjay]

Rankings don't matter

I stopped caring about Olivi ever since she tried equating her job with Helwani's and got all egotistical over the subject.

Or maybe you could say rankings matter more than belts at this point.... meh prolly not if you like to make money... but it certainly matters more when it comes to who’s actually the best cause the belt sure as fuck hasn’t meant that lately

 

[Mondo Freaks]

they should actually follow their ranking system
