Let’s take a look at the current ranking of Chan Sung Jung at various outlets:
Now, I’m of the opinion that a top fighter must fight (and win) often enough to sustain such a lofty ranking.
If we go back to the start of 2010, we have the following results for Chan Sung Jung:
My observations:
On a positive note, CSJ put up a valiant effort against Aldo in his loss. Furthermore, Poirier who he beat, now holds a Top 10 ranking, though it can definitely be argued that Poirier has improved since the aforementioned bout — looking at an opponent’s performance post-bout is not a part of the core rating system.
On results alone, perhaps a #24 ranking is a little harsh. But given his spotty activity, I honestly don’t think it is very far off the mark.
