That's how they keep fighters from other orgs. out of their rankings. It's complete BS UFC biased.

Do they even know the guy who beat him? Probably not. Nastyukhin never competed in UFC. Better yet, why is McGregor top 5 when he fought once in 2 years and it was a loss? Who the hell is Gregor Gillespie?

Some of them probably have no clue who beat him.

Yeah, McGregor should start dropping in the rankings.

Good question on Gregor.

I must admit, I've been out to lunch on MMA recently and trying to get back into it but it seems like whenever I see these sherdog lists, there's somebody there that makes me go "Who's that and who have they beat?". Sometimes it feels like they're required to use UFC fighters and scrape the bottom of the barrel.

UFC definitely has a ton of influence over Sherdog and much of the puppet media. Their rankings are so biased it's ridiculous. They scrape the bottom of the barrel for sure to get UFC guys listed. They hardly report on any other org. but the UFC.

They probably hell most likely work for the ufc it is bullshit of how even champions are getting thrown by the way side for a person just because they have ufc next to their name.

Ufc fighter's do belong on a Top ten so do Bellator fighters , one championship fighters, Rizin ff fighters, ksw fighters etc .

The Connor nut hugging is ridiculous an example Fedor Lost to werdum he was kicked off their pound for pound list yet bj Penn who lost that same year he was still on the list werdum didn't get on the pound for pound list yet Frankie Edgar did. Their rankings have been ufc biased for over a decade.

Exactly. The rankings should be a good mix of all the orgs.

Yeah, that was about the time it started with the ranking biased really bad was with the Fedor ranking after the Werdum fight. Werdum should have been number 1 but they made him number 2 behind Lesnar after beating Fedor, LOL. What a joke that was.

At the end of day rankings are just numbers on a piece of paper I understand it gives people an idea who is number but my point still stands.

On a side note about Sherdog, the forums seemed to have been down this morning.
