Jones is ranked 2, but Reyes at 23? This seems a large difference to me. Volkanovski and Holloway are 4 places apart, Usman and Masvidal are 18 places apart, but Jones & Reyes, who had a closer fight, are 21 places? Seems like a lot to me, for such a close fight.
Burns is #32 and Woodley is #29?
These places seem heavily wrong to me, but perhaps that's just me

As for Tapology's official ranking itself, it is put together by the users who submit their own rankings. The 100 most recent rankings are included in the list. Obviously the users are all individuals with their own opinions and biases so you're not necessarily going to get a 100% statically accurate ranking but it serves as a good basis to make judgments on. Think of it as more of a "MMA fans opinion ranking".
I hope that clears it up a little bit. Welcome to Tapology Bunman7!

Personally, I feel like averaging 100 fans is probably a better ranking system than 10 random guys with internet pages that signed up 5 years ago, so I prefer Tapology to the UFC Rankings lol.
I suppose it also depends how regularly the fans update their rankings, and how thoroughly.

That's true, there are a lot of users who make a ranking once but never update them. That's why only the latest 100 are included so that ones that were made years ago eventually get taken out of consideration. There's no perfect system for rankings but Tapology's is better than most.

Yeah, I think that's how it works. For instance, if you made a ranking 5 years ago and it dropped off the official ranking contributions but you then added to or updated that ranking today, then it counts as one of the latest contributions.

He's a very good fighter but after looking over my P4P ranking again, I still can't convince myself that he's one of the world's top 15 P4P fighters. If I extended my ranking to a top 30 he'd probably be included though. It's not that I think he's bad, it's just that I think the other fighters are better.
