I was just going over the UFC rankings right now and I realized Romero isn't ranked. When did this happen, and why is this the case?
 
When fighters are suspended they get removed from the rankings in the mean time.
 
they pulled him from the rankings after his PED/USADA incident. His suspension ends July 12 so I suspect he'll be put back soon.

I suspect they will pull Lyoto from their rankings too, depending on how his situation goes.
 
Probably due to his suspension, that or gay jesus hacked the site.

It's funny because not only is Mir still ranked but he actually went up a spot last time they updated it

lol yep I noticed that. Fucking joke. I can't remember the specifics of when they pulled Romero. It seems like they won't pull a fighter immediately but if Lyoto and Mir get 2 years, they'll be taken out.

Did anything happen (besides this) after the second sample was revealed positive? Mir said he'd retire and not only did that not happen now he moved up the rankings? The fuck?
 
Okay thanks. So this is a new USADA thing? I remember in the past even when popped fighters still appeared in the rankings.

Apparently Mir ranking up had something to do with Brock coming back and getting ranked by some people, I don't know. It's still retarded.

He doesn't sound like he's retiring now, he implied he'd probably come back after the 2 years if he can't appeal

Sheesh.

On a lighter note, cheers on the quote you got there.

it's not that USADA tells the UFC/media not the rank the fighter. The media members simply don't include them in the update if that fighter is gonna be gone due to PED suspension

Jan 12, 2016 Romero popped, then in the rankings update on Jan 19 he wasn't included in the MW ranks. All before receieving his official suspension. Meanwhile Lyoto and Mir are still on. Hmmm...

Rankings standards are all fucked up.
