there's no point to rankings then.I know he is ranked 4th but I don't care about him fighting 3rd or whatever. Lately I see fans tripping on guys not ranked right next to eachother fighting. IMO I like the classic model that says anyone vs anyone in the rankings is a valid fight, and sometimes cross weight class fights and guys fighting unranked dudes works too. How else can we aerate the divisions and have upheaval and historic upsets? Plus rankings are not objective lists of who is the best. They are subjective and sometimes match up determine who can beat who.
