How come Till moves up 6 spots in the rankings after missing weight...

[SensoriaUtopia]

Difference is Till had to tend to an emergency, perhaps his soon to be born child, and Dern fought a decent opponent, but Till fought a great one.

Also, I don't think Till won, or Wonderboy, I think that fight is the picture of a draw.

There was huge outrage about Mackenzie Dern getting ranked so they took her off, but with Till it's a-ok.

UFC rankings are fucking clown shoes, bros.

The same reason why posters who wanted Hendricks cut for missing weight once look the other way when Khabib, Dern do it. It's the same reason why Brock and Jon Jones are "Drug cheats" but Yoel Romero and Ubereem manage to skate.

I agree with this post apart from the parts that are stupid

Hate Yoel being on the main fight.

Hate Yoel being on the main fight.

He's been caught cheating at least 3 times, and it's always someone else's fault. Yoel was one of my favorites a few years back but ever since stoolgate, he's a changed man.

Reem and Yoel didn't skate at all. Alistair is dubbed Ubereem FFS, his nick name is literally tied to drug use. And between Yoel getting a bad rep for being dirty after the Kennedy fight and having Bisping mock an injection on tv he's hardly skating at all for anything.

Brock got blasted because they proved what we all knew.

Jones got it because he's a self proclaimed snitch.

Dern beat Cooper a girl that aint even ranked. Wonderboy was ranked number 1 totally different.

Simple fix

Rank the fighters who miss weight as Number 1 at the weight they came in at, if they win.

Edit: Gave this some more thought, and forgive me for saying, this might get somewhere. Its the minimal source of negative reinforcement. Much so similar to when some dog trainers put their dog’s snout in their poo. “See what ya did there? Bad, now I’m gonna frame it so you see remember that this is you.” Of course that hypotherical situation applies to rankings, not the dog poo, unless you have a self conscious pet, then maybe.

Don’t have them move up in their weight class, but there is a shiny new ranking for you, a symbol that you fucked up along the way. Or maybe move them up but have an asterisk that says “Big bugaloo {The Weight of last fight}” then we all win

People talk a lot about potential additional punishments for people who lose weight, and this would be one I fully support: if you miss weight, you can't move up the rankings, you can only move down (if you lose).
