Who is the most OVER ranked Current UFC fighter?

How many wins does McGregor have against ranked LWs? In the last five years he has none lol.

Also WW is very weak right now. But Mas is another very good answer, sure.

Former LW champion.. last ranked opponent was against Eddie Alvarez.. Nov 2016.. inside 5 years.. yes that is quite a bit of time, but his only losses inside that time is Dustin who is number 1 contender, and the King Khabib.. lets be real look at the names in the top 15th..and there are 6 names at least that conor would whoop that ass... his inactivity is a valid point.. but the Former Double Champ has the right to remain relevant in the top 15, especially if a guy like Woodley loses 4 fights in a row and is still in the top 10 at WW.. Explain that first please.. than tell me how it's different from Conor.. and you can't just say inactivity..

Conor has never lost 2 in a row, get your facts straight.. and if you look at just the last 3 years. He is 1 and 1, with the loss being against the number 1 contender at LW.. so how is 6th so crazy?

He has lost two in a row in the division where he is ranked. He's 1-2 at LW in the UFC but to be fair his level of competition at LW is way higher than anyone elses his easiest fight was against the champion at the time, I doubt anyone below him would have done better against the fighters he's fought.
 
Actually some good points on this thread regarding Till, Masvidal and Connor. At heavyweight I think Rozenstruik is most overrated.

Well I guess my argument is I wouldn’t rank guys solely on potential but on what they’ve actually done. Conor hasn’t won at LW since 2016.

And the difference between LW and WW is that WW is very shallow. Conor’s last win is at WW, and he wasn’t active and fighting high level opposition at WW like RDA was. Conor fought at WW because it was the easiest big name he could get.

I respect your opinion, but I disagree. If he beats Dustin of course he will earn a high ranking. I just think rankings need to be earned.

Okay so heres the thing.. again Woodley has lost 4 straight.. all against top 15 guys .. he's still ranked in the top 10! at WW.. although Conor hasn't won a LW fight in 5 years... he still fought the number 1 LW contender.. yes he lost.. but most of the time you don't get booted out of the top 15 when you lose to the number 1 contender, in fact I can't think of one time where a fighter has, so why would Conor get booted out because it's his only fight.. simply the reason that he got the fight in the first place which was also against a fighter he already had a KO victory against granted it was in FW..

so.. simply for the fact he fought the number contender, and gave him a good fight.. that alone even in defeat qualifies in my opinion his ranking.. You can't purely base ranking on speculation and I get that, He probably should have lost his ranking when he retired sure.. but he didn't he not only got paired with the number 1 contender, he's now getting the trilogy fight.. so.. think about this logically.. are you honestly saying that Conor Mcgregor should go into this rematch with Dustin Poirer with no number by his name? That doesn't make sense.. that he should be unranked against the top LW contender?

You could argue that he doesn't deserve the rematch.. sure but unfortunately this sport and inside this organization it's not like basketball.. you lose your out the tournament.. the seedings and rankings like people say don't matter which I disagree with, but all i'm saying is if his loses back to back are against Khabib, greatest LW champion of all time, who Poirer also lost to, and the top 1 LW contender, even back to back.. Conor still deserves a ranking inside the top 15 and I would argue that at 6th he's placed right just below Tony Ferguson who mind you as dominate as he was... never was a champion and is also on a 2 fight losing streak.. so. If Woodley and Weidman still carry their ranking with their horrendous recent record, than Conor should obviously easily be able to keep his top 15..

Now if you don't like Conor I get it.. you hate his personality and his antics, but to say he isn't considered a top 15 LW based only off the fact that he hasn't fought a lot and lost to Poirer and Khabib.. that's trash man.. it's hard to respect someone opinion for saying that because Conor obviously is still considered and widely accepted by many as being a top LW fighter.. Granted I'll give people a little room for their opinion because he never truly was a fighter at LW.. so it makes sense to feel that way, the guy doesn't have many fights, but ultimately that didn't matter because he stepped up and became a champ champ took the crown at LW... and doesn't appear to be going down to FW anytime soon.. whether it be FW or LW, you gotta rank Conor somewhere as long as he remains an active fighter...now.. if he keeps racking up loses.. hell even if he loses to Dustin a 2nd time I still don't think you boot him out of the top 15 although would certainly not be upset if he was at that point. cause I don't like a lot of losses in a row and still being ranked in a division.
 
Khamzat Chimaev if he's still ranked, that shit was pathetic.

I think he's simply saying he should be 1-4 in his last 5. It was some bullshit.

For all the Conor haters.. if Conor loses to Dustin Poirer.. Conor should fight Paul Felder.. and the loser loses their Top 15 Ranking.. that's how I see that it should play out.. but if you think Conor doesn't belong in the top 15 than start begging dana white that Conor fights Gregor Gillespie who I think Conor would wreck.. and if Conor loses demand that he gives up his top 15.. until that happens it will take a few losses for the UFC to drop the top 15
 
I'll give another great reason Conor gets a pass... Conor is a Marque name.. The UFC never wanted to put on a Conor fight with no fans.. they simply didn't want to do it, and part of the reason he got shelved for so long is because of Covid.. Conor wanted names and he wanted to fight and has been active as of recent.. I can understand people being upset that he is 1-2 at LW..but.. that one victory was for the title, and the guy is still will fill stadiums and Conor is still getting paired with the top LW contenders.. even if its the same guy twice.. you can't have him be unranked.. it just doesn't make sense. Now should the UFC had made the rematch probably not, but to them it makes sense and it's the fight they both wanted, But to take the Former LW champions Ranking away.. when only 1 other guy has recently been crowned LW champion which is Khabib who is retired so the most recent active LW who was recently champion is you guess it.. the man who people love to say only has 1 LW win.. it's a big win.. he won the championship.. deserves the ranking.. and believe me.. can't lose forever and keep a ranking. You'll get your day sooner or later but right now the ranking is deserving.. Unless you guys think Kevin Lee deserves a ranking and conor doesn't..

it just doesn't make sense why people hate

Those are media scores, not judge's scores.
 
Aljamain Sterling is in the P4P rankings.. surprised no one is questioning that one.. He should be the only champion left out of P4P talks.. for 100% sure.

Surprised no one else said Cody. He's currently ranked 4th but should not be ranked higher than

Munhoz
Jimmie
Aldo
Moraes

Moraes is 1-3 in his last four, the win was a split decision, and he was brutally finished in all three losses. I dunno about that one man.

Doesn’t matter what division, I just want your opinion on who is the most over ranked fighter in the UFC.

I’ll start with Paulo Costa at #2 MW. He only has 1 win against current Top 10 MW’s (Uriah Hall), lost to the Champion embarrassingly, and IMO he lost to Yoel as well. I’ll give him props for giving Yoel a harder fight than Israel did, but other than that, he should not be ranked as high as he is.

Cody is 1-3 in his last 4 as well and brutally finished in all 3 losses.

Beating Aldo>>> sparking a washed up Assuncao and Marlon finished Assuncao in the 1st when he was still good too. He was also lighting Cejudo up for the first half of the fight.

Cody got KOd in the 1st round b2b and only looked good in the losses in the 1st round of the 1st TJ fight

Font will crack Codys chin for good and he should be where he should be now which is like 8th or 9th
