Are a lot of people removing McGregor from their FW ranking, because of his back-to-back WW bouts? Even the next day after a title loss, I can't think of a champion this low on Tap's rankings.

Some of it has to do with the ranking mechanics on Tapology. Its not always consistent where it will let you rank guys when they change divisions.

@boredoms, ya I know that Tap sometimes takes fighters away when they fight in a different weight class. Cerrone isn't available for the LW ranking, but McGregor is still available for the FW ranking. Which leads me to believe people are removing him

Immediately after the fight Conor was listed at WW. I'm not sure when it was changed but I remember switching him from FW to WW to FW again.
