Explaining the Rating System (IV)

Here are the top fighters in each division. One oddity I'll mention is Robbie Lawler, who's only #7 WW. He just beat #3 Hendricks but it was a split decision, and he lost a unanimous decision to Hendricks not even a year ago. Generally, the winner of a fight comes out with the better rating, but roughly 5% of the time they don't, including about 25% of the time when the result is a split decision. This was one of those times. CCR gives Hendricks a 59% chance (-140) of winning the rubber match.


I plan to do event previews and recaps each week, along with other random stuff I think people might find interesting. Let me know what you think, good or bad. Suggestions are welcome.
