Notable Info

Donald Cerrone took our lineal Lightweight championship last night with his win over Eddie Alvarez.
The Men’s Strawweight lineal championship as we recognize it, changed hands over the weekend with Yoshitaka Naito’s defeat of Shinya Murofushi. Rambaa Somdet has not fought within the confines of this lineal division since October 2011 and it appears he’s done with the division, if not the sport.
Although TUF fights are being counted, it has been our policy not to shift divisions for fighters competing in TUF as historically, many fighters have competed outside of their typical division and pro non-exhibition fights take precedence. This explains why Penne & Ellis remain in the 105 division, as this is the division in which they competed prior to TUF. However, due to the importance of this TUF as it pertains to the 115 landscape, we may re-visit this decision in the coming weeks. We welcome feedback.

Gleison Tibau’s unlikely UFC career

Posted on September 17, 2014 by Oleg

Last weekend, in the co-main event of the UFC Fight Night 51 in Brazil, lightweight competitor Gleison Tibau scored a split decision victory over [#41] Piotr Hallman. This was not a highly anticipated or hyped fight; a contest between two middle-of-the-road lightweights both ranked outside of Top 25 in their division (the win propelled Tibau from #27 up to #22, while Hallman’s ranking was not affected). What was most notable about this fight is that it marked Tibau’s 23rd UFC bout, and his 15th win in the Octagon. This puts Tibau in a tie for the fourth place for both most wins and most bouts in the UFC history.

To put things in perspective, the record for most wins in UFC is currently held by Georges St. Pierre (19), followed by Matt Hughes (18). The third place is shared by Anderson Silva, Chuck Liddell, and Randy Couture, all with 16 wins a piece. Gleison is tied for #4 with Tito Ortiz, Josh Koscheck, and Michael Bisping. In the most bouts category, Tito Ortiz (27) holds the lead, followed by Matt Hughes (25) and Randy Couture (24). Tibau shares the fourth place with Chuck Liddell, BJ Penn, Frank Mir, and Josh Koscheck.

Take another look at these names. All except for Koscheck, Bisping, and Tibau are former UFC champions and legends of the sport. In fact, they have a combined record of 61-26-1 in UFC title fights! Even Josh Koscheck has had a shot at UFC gold, and Michael Bisping had several “top contender” bouts, though he fell short each time. Tibau on the other hand has never had a title shot or even a #1 contender bout. He was never ranked in the Top 10 of any weight class, coming closest at #12 after his 3-fight win streak in 2011. I certainly would have never expected the kid who got plastered by Nick Diaz in his UFC debut (as a welterweight), to ever be mentioned in the same sentence with the all-time greats, in any context.

What’s more is that at 31, Gleison is not showing any signs of slowing down. After dropping down to lightweight in his second UFC bout, he has been steadily chugging along for eight years, fighting on average 2.75 times a year, and winning around 68% of these fights – or 1.875 fights a year. If he continues at this rate for another two years, by the end of 2016 he should be tied for the top spot in both the total number of UFC fights and total wins, or may even hold the record in both categories. The only active fighters who may give him a run for the total number of fights are Frank Mir and Josh Koscheck – both on extended losing streaks and the verge of retirement. In the wins column, there is Michael Bisping – but at 35 he too is four years older than Tibau, and is likely past his peak judging by his recent fights. There is a very real possibility that Tibau may soon hold both records. He is also at #7 for the most total fight time in the UFC. The only currently active fighters on the roster with more minutes clocked in the Octagon are Frankie Edgar and Diego Sanchez.

TUF Seeds vs. Fight Matrix Seeds

Posted on September 11, 2014 by Jason

Fighter	TUF Seed	FM Seed w/ Inactivity	FM Seed w/o Inactivity	FM Avg Seed
Carla Esparza	1	6*	2	4*
Joanne Calderwood	2	1	1	1
Tecia Torres	3	2	3	2

Lisa Ellis	13	11	10	10
Randa Markos	14	7	9	8
Emily Kagan	15	13	15	14
Angela Hill	16	16	16	16

Above, see the seeds that we give the competitors, with and without the inactivity (and related) penalties that some fighters have been hit with due to the filming and pre-planning stages of the competition. Blue is most underrated, red is most overrated.

Randa Markos, last night’s upset winner, was the most underrated by the TUF seeding, based on either one of our seeds. Justine Kish also seems to be quite underrated.

Bec Rawlings appears to be the most overrated, by quite a bit.

For the most part, the “official” seeding seems quite accurate.

* – Carla’s inactivity triggered another divisional quality outlier penalty. If we took that away, but kept the inactivity, she would fall in at #4 between Torres and Kish for w/ Inactivity, and #3 at Seed Avg between Torres and Penne.

Building Flyweight: Options in Obscurity for the UFC

Posted on September 8, 2014 by Jason

Aside from more fighters moving down from Bantamweight, which has been of great help recently, the UFC must move more quickly in building the talent pool for the UFC Flyweight division.

Although the Heavyweight division is arguably as weak, there is enough volatility with the fight results to ensure that the competition remains relatively fresh. At Flyweight, with Demetrious Johnson being on such a quality run, the lack of depth is already apparent as his next opponent is sitting at #14 in the UFC Flyweight rankings.

The following fighters may be not-so-obvious options for additions to this division as they don’t have undefeated records and aren’t spending time in major or mid-major promotions, at least not in the states.

#15 – Yuki Motoya (24) [12-4-0]

I’ll be the first to admit, the ratings are possibly being a little too kind to Motoya. He’s got a unique combination of characteristics that always yield a friendly rating; he fights and wins often and he fights aging fighters who’ve recently dropped down in division, likely out of desperation.

However, he’s young and 9-1-0 in his last 10 (with the lone loss being a split decision that he since avenged). I think you have to give him at least a glance.

#18 – Czar Sklavos (32) [10-3-0]

I’m somewhat shocked that I hear nothing about Sklavos. He got a late start to the game, debuting and losing to TJ Dillashaw back in 2010. And although he’s recently lost two, one to #16 Sampo and the other to former top Flyweight Alexis Vila, he’s on quite a run. His next fight sees him once again travel across the Pacific to fight #28 Ogikubo. I wouldn’t be surprised if a win here yields a phone call from the UFC. At the very least, he’s racking up frequent flyer miles.

#27 – Giovanni da Silva Santos Jr (27) [15-1-0]

Having only lost his debut fight, “Soldado” is the top-rated Brazilian Flyweight that still remains undiscovered by a major promotion. His last win over former #2 Strawweight Gilberto Dias launched him up near the top-half of the first page of the Flyweight rankings. Due to a lack of data, there is a tendency to underrated these types of Brazilian fighters who never leave home. As a result, he might be one to watch.

Honorable Mentions: #32 – Nildo Nascimento, #43 – Yuya Shibata
