The UFC rankings are just a narrative tool and aren't supposed to make sense.

Of course a lot of that is him redlining it in rd1. We haven't really seen Tagir face that level of pace and pressure unless we count the Elliott fight where Tim kinda did put some sensory overload on him with his strange movement and always working and doing something and Tagir kinda folded to it in that fight. You could tell he was a bit flustered and would have prefered a more steady and predictable fight.
I think Hadley was a tougher test than Ulanbekov. That doesn't mean Durden won't lose here but it makes me think he has a good chance to win if he goes in like he usually does and shows 0 respect and put Tagir under pressure from the start.

I knew about it of course, just a good example of how rigged it often seems.

I could be very wrong and fell stupid after the event, but I am hunting for that major upset win.

only way they would do something like that would be if Belal hadn't already fought Luque and if they could ''force'' Belal into that fight. don't see them putting any extra effort to book Holland when they can just bump Emmett and Thug Nasty and have either Aldana - Rosa or even Cody as the last fight of the prelims.
