Tybura +2 (hasnt fought since september)

This one looked just a little 'eh' at first because 1 of that +2 is because Lewis is falling hard, which is deserved, so no big deal, but it's actually super BS because 2nd part of that is him getting put back over Delija, who Tybura's last fight was against and getting knocked out by.

Vinicius Oliveria +3 (hasnt fought since July)

This is a typo, as it was only +2, but that's still incredible nonsense. I get that this guy is on a streak, and maybe they wanted to revisit re-ranking with fresh eyes, but this feels like probably the biggest 'We want more exciting people up the rankings for Paramount's sake' movement here.

Jean Silva +4

Well, this one's just fair isn't it? Allen is a very solid win. It should certainly put him over guys like Ortega (why is he even still there) or Garcia.

If he shouldn't have jumped up this much, the problem was in the booking beforehand, not the change after.

An almost entirely white P4P seems... out of kilter with the history of the sport somewhat.
 
Arman at 15 is hilarious, so basically Ilia is avoiding a guy ranked 15 in a bullshit list and he himself has no defenses? They need to at least put some effort into this shit, I can handle bullshit but it at least needs to be somewhat intelligent bullshit.


Ugh, Sean already beat Imavov and beat DDP one time.. 🤷‍♂️

Jean Silva as champ is an autistic reign I don’t need or want

there being 2 lightweights ranked bellow the interim champion in the p4p ranking while he isn't is pretty funny. Like even the ranking people aknowledge that fight doesn't actually means Justin is even a top 3 lightweight.
