  1. Neo Says:

    TLC: Looking at the fight history, I would guess that yes, Andrews is rated that highly because of Dong Sik Yoon. It was the middle loss for Yoon after beating Manhoef, who I could be wrong, but was probably top 20 at the time…

  2. TLC Says:

    One more thing, I usually take the system for what it’s worth, understanding the margin of error on some of these rankings, but for the life of me, I cannot understand the ranking of Andrews Nakahara.

    2-2 in his career with wins over 2 < .500 fighters.

    Not only that, his losses haven't exactly been against world beaters. He has losses over Sakuraba and Chonan. Where did he get all those points from? Don Sik Yoon? How is he ahead of the likes of John Howard, Michael Guymon and many others?

  3. Neo Says:

    stripthesoul: Actually that one is pretty easy.

    Askren beat Hornbuckle recently, Hornbuckle is a really solid fighter with a high rating.

    Who has Lyman Good beat? Plus, it’s been over a year since he has fought, which hurts his rating.

  4. jcs Says:

    So with the missing win, and recent loss… Stinson essentially stayed the same.

  5. jcs Says:

    If the opponents are of poor quality, its not a quality performance no matter the outcome.

  6. TLC Says:

    What I mean by that is, Magomed Shikshibekov holds a measly 58% Quality performance despite none of his opponents escaping the 1st round? Doesn’t seem right.

  7. John Says:

    What exactly is a “Quality Performance”

  8. jcs Says:

    Ok so Stinson lost this week, not sure so we’ll see where he ends up..

  9. Lyle Says:

    jcs,

    Thanks for the timely response.

  10. jcs Says:

    For some reason, we didn’t have the Stinson/Pecanha fight in our database. We’ll add it and the result will reflect in next week’s rankings.

    Stinson will jump about 35-40 spots.
