the_bear413 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Why is it there is no way of tracking, at least, the top 5 fighters of every division? The UFC has been exponentially getting popular over the last few years. I think it's time this was done. I don't know if I'm the only one, but I'm tired of speculation. So with that said, would people be willing to help me create a top 5 for each division? It's not something that could happen overnight. It would take lots of polls and blogs, but it's something that I feel needs to be done ASAP, and I'm willing to donate my time to make it happen. EDIT: Also post if you would like to see one implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwiftSpear Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 The UFC's unofficial rankings aren't really represented in any external ranking system though. Fighters in the UFC are judged heavily on performance, where most ranking systems only credit wins vs losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bear413 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Dana White has stated that the fans choose the fights. I think a lot of us here want to see people who deserve title shots actually get them, so lets get it started. Also, I don't think people will stop buying PPV's if they know that someone in the top 5 is getting a title shot. I think anybody with a brain would agree that if the person has proven themselves, they're due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisti Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 It is a solid idea. I think they should do rankings based on something like NCAA college basketball rankings, where it's not solely based on record, but it incorporates a few different things. Difficulty of fighters, how easily they won the fight, overall record, improvement, ratio of finishes/decisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wish for official rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
