@Tapology crew.... Just wondering ye working on any new rankings? I was thinking would be cool to have a top prospect rankings or something like that. And maybe top events like UFC 116 just a suggestion.

If you are going to do most boring fights you may have to have some required Viewing like:
 
Kimo vs Severn - Pride 1  
Royler Gracie vs Sano - Pride 2  
Renzo Gracie vs Kikuta - Pride 2  
Severn vs Shamrock - UFC 9  
Fujita vs Yvel - Pride 12 


In fact maybe all of Pride 12.

Most boring fights... that's exciting.  Don't have an exact timetable, but we'll be adding more categories for sure. We've gotten a lot of ranking ideas emailed to us. Keep em coming either on threads like this or via the email/feedback tool.

i really like the idea of new rankings. however i'm strongly against rankings which encourage unnecessary negativity/dislike or even the mere display thereof. i'm talking about lists a la "worst" "least" "most disliked/boring/overrated" etc. there's enough bashing going on in just about every major mma discussion board already. keep things positive.

@platzhirsch

i 100% agree, TOO much negativity in forums...it is for THAT reason that i am suggesting "best "***" judge decision" and "most likely to be fired".....lol...seriously tho, rankings for controversial decision, most talented fighter NEVER to win a major belt, top prospect NOT in a major promotion, and Best underdog (fighter who did the most with the least).... THOSE ARE SOME RANKINGS!! lets go tapology!!!

I agree about the negative part. 
I do like Jersey0525 suggestion of biggest Prospect (outside of Zuffa).

Right on Gentlemen, it'd be cool to see who the most hated fighter is among the consensus Tapology users, but i agree that negativity should be left out of it. I'm sure someone will start a forum about it eventually but you won't see me on it...

@gregory - has anyone suggested the use of polls for Tapology users to vote on? Kind of like ESPN has all those sportsnation polls???

some good ideas in here. e.g. most promising prospects sounds great. in light of zuffa buying strikeforce, a ranking for dana "f*cking listen" white's most hypocritical statements seems appropriate. :D

I like the polls idea.  Maybe not enough subjects for controversial decision or underdogs.  A one time poll would be great.

The only question I have is what would be considered a prospect? Would Ben Askren or even Joe Warren be cosidered prospects even though they are Bellator Champions, but still pretty raw in their MMA game?

@platzhirsch, hahah right on brother, Dana White certaintly has an extensive list or contradictions! I'd personaly put the UFC does not sign fighters comming off of a loss and the claim that the UFC does not put on novelty spectacles right on top of that list.

Besides that love the idea of more rankings comming to tapology keep up the good work!

I don't know any fighters, how could I hate them. The bits and pieces of info we get through the media don't give the whole story on situations. Certain fighters bother me, but it doesn't bother me, if you know what I mean. :)
