I haven't logged into Sherdog in a long time, but I came back today to look at their rankings and honestly what happened? The rankings used to have a good, honest assessment of talent from all organizations, but now they are so heavily UFC leaning. Examples:
1) Not UFC specific, but how is Vadim Nemkov ranked at LHW, but not Jiri Prochazka? Prochazka stopped Nemkov.
2) No Michael Chandler or Patricio Pitbull in the lightweight and featherweight rankings?
3) Eddie Alvarez is still top 5 at lightweight, the guy who just beat him in One isn't even sniffing the rankings.
4) One in general is getting the shaft. Other than Mighty Mouse and Andrea Lee I don't recall a single fighter in the rankings.
5) No Illima-Lei Macfarlane at Flyweight. Really?
6) Phil Davis has wins over multiple guys in the LHW rankings, (MW too if you look at Machida) and isn't there.
