State of the 205 Division

I'd like to draw your attention to a graphic made by Fedor FM for the light heavyweight division. He's made a couple others and will likely do more, you can check his reddit history here.

With the UFC having so many divisions and events, it can be hard to keep track of where things stand. I think this graphic does a good job of explaining the current situation. This is what I'm trying to do with Can Crusher Ratings, to make the state of MMA understandable.

For example, the previous post showed the distribution of the current light heavyweight ratings. I think it did a good job of illustrating how strong the UFC is, dominating the higher ratings. Fighters in the 80s are elite and rare, and we get to see four of them fight on Saturday (plus two middleweights in the 80s).
