Jack Slack's written some nice articles this week, culminating in The Paths Meet: Nick Diaz and Anderson Silva Collide.
One of the articles talks about the Diaz-Gomi fight in 2007 that was overturned to a no contest. This is the black circle at that point on the graph. If Diaz had passed the drug test he would've risen to 82 points.
I've been setting the 100th ranked active fighter to 75 points, but this adds some unnecessary noise. You can see this better in the Cerrone-Henderson graph, but for example looking at Diaz in 2002 after his first fight, all the movement there is due to jostling near the #100 ranking. Next week I'll make a slight adjustment to the rating system to fix this.
