If the move is temporary and/or nothing objective is really proven, the decision may be made to keep the fighter in the division in which they normally fight.

I think I should have phrased my question more along the lines of "why are Shamrock and Diaz not lsited at the same weight class after this fight?" I seem to recall a few other fight cards recently where some fighters changed divisions on your listings and others did not. I suppose the Important question here, and the more generalized one, is "under what conditions do you treat a fight as an 'anomaly' and not reclassify the fighter?" I ask this because it seems against the objective nature of this site to decide that some weight class changes count and others don't. And I seemed to recall that early on in the site's history, every fighter was ranked according to the last weight they fought at, with no exceptions. Ah.

Diaz was at Lightweight. His last four fights were at 168, 169.5, 160, 180. Three of which, were not at Lightweight. I instructed the system to treat the last two as anomalies (ignore divisional changes).... which caused Diaz to move to Welterweight.

For example, why did Diaz change weight divisions after his catchweight fight, but not Shamrock? I’m a little bit confused by the weight classifications on the site lately.
