Wasn't able to post the rankings in a list or image, but put together the link below and it will bring to a single page with all the ranking on it, and their records. Apologies in advance

I think they are decent rankings at the moment. Better than I've seen in the past. If I had to pick one, I guess I'd say LHW is the most screwy but that division is a mess. But Shogun and Rashad at #6 and #7? Krylov!! But everything else behind them is just meh. They need some new blood in that division desperately.
I also think Nate Diaz at #4 is a bit sketchy over Cerrone and Barboza. I mean I know he just beat the chosen one but he beat a featherweight and before that has fought like once a year.

He beat number 5 seed at the time in Michael Johnson.
Yeah Krylov should be higher than Rua

Yeah I know... but then took a year off while Cerrone and Barboza fought like 9 times combined. I just have an issue with guys that sit out. Or more accurately, I don't think guys that fight constantly get enough credit for it... especially if they win consistently. I have so much more respect for a guy like Cerrone going 5-1 or even 4-2 over an 18 month stretch fighting all top 10 guys than I do Nate fighting once in that same period and beating MJ.
A brazilian media guy, who is a contributor to the rankings, dropped Conor 6 P4P spots after he KO'ed Aldo. Plus, there is the guy who got his privilege to do this revoked after ridiculous fighter bashing tweets were discovered online. They really shouldn't be taken seriously until there is a true legitimization to them

I've noticed you post the changes to your rankings after each event, but do you keep a thread or anything with the complete rankings?
I've been working on my own over the last few months. Hoping to have my inaugural lists completed by year's end. I'd be interested in seeing yours.
I don't think Misha Cirkunov should be ranked at LHW. He has only fought three fighters making their UFC debuts. I don't think a fighter should rank unless they've beaten a ranked opponent.

Diaz beat Johnson eight months ago. There was no year off, he fought McGregor less than three months after that win....

He'd beat MJ in December 2015. Before that he lost to RDA in December 2015. And before that he beat gray Maynard in Dec 2014. That makes you the #4 contender over Cerrone who literally went 9-1 over the same time frame???
