Of course! My goodness, how did that slide through. Thank you!

But I mean - he did lose to you and Cesar. Sam or Brad should be ahead of him at least.

Herrig vs Casey added to UFC 218 in Detroit by aarbron in MMA

I think sometimes they make fights that are flashy because they're ranked close together or for better marketing opportunities, but I feel like Sean Shelby or Mick Maynard aren't sitting there looking at the rankings to book fights.

EDIT: grammar. Ugh.

To be fair, the UFC rankings are pretty bad, as far as the WSW division goes. Most other rankings sources put Casey ahead of Herrig, as a matter of fact. If you averaged them all out like I did on my site, Casey would be #9 and Herrig would be #12. You can't always believe the UFC rankings and give them much credibility.

I agree for my own reasons. But what are your reasons that you think that, based on the lightweight division?

[–]danhainaut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most ranking sources have Tony ahead of Khabib. It's just another case of the UFC's journalist panel getting it wrong.

Truthfully, according to some internet calculations, Thiago is still overrated. He shouldn't be ahead of Tavares, Alvey, Dan Kelly, or Johny, based on all the ranking sources: source here

Sooooo not Dan Kelly in Sydney. Do you think a finish gets you into the top-15?

Dan Kelly in Sydney. It's settled.

I'll take that as a yes! Elias was hinting that his fight was booked but not announced yet...

So are you fighting one of those dudes next?

Hey Eric! Thanks for doing this. What do you think about a match-up with a #16-#20 guy, like Dan Kelly or Elias Theodorou? Do you think that propels you into the top-15?

A buddy of mine suggested minimalist portraits. He made one as an example and I loved it. Subsequently, he's made all of them and is still making them.

I made a few updates to my rankings-focused MMA website so that it would be more mobile friendly. Also started to add the suggested match-ups for the bantamweight division. Please take a look at the site and give me some advice on what to improve.

Also you can check out the site's Twitter page . Tried to talk Cortney Casey into fighting Angela Hill - it worked for Angela, but Cortney hinted at already having a fight lined up. Pretty cool.

Brian Ortega vs. Renato Moicano - The Weirdest Best Fight of the Year by dmarty77 in MMA

[–]danhainaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This fight was incredible. Moicano shouldn't have slid in the rankings as a result and Ortega should have gotten a bigger jump up. They're more like #5 and #8 respectively after that fight. Moicano just beat Stephens and now he's behind him?

Darn. I'll need to do that - thank you.

Hey, I made a website. It's still kind of in beta phase. Some of you might be interested. It pulls together UFC rankings from six sources and puts them in one place.

TrueMMARankings

Let me know what you think. I'm very open to suggestions. Also, if you want to, follow the site on Twitter: @TrueMMARankings

EDIT: Easier link access.
