And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Forget legalizing steroids this is the next level of cheating

Just go Kickboxer the movie style and dip the gloves in glue then glass shards

Or Hot Shots and dip them in glue then gummy bears either way

I like how the first four people in this list get you from 125 to 400 lbs and the rest is just meandering.

Fine we'll do it the progressive way

I mean for years lots of us have thought that the UFC literally sets the rankings themselves since most of the panelists were people who were supposedly journalists, but never actually wrote about MMA (Or used to, but disappeared/stopped years ago), in comparison this is technically less bad. That being said the rankings are a joke either way so the nuance is kind of moot, regardless.

I don't actually know the answers to your questions, sorry.

There was that hilarious Brazilian journalist that did nothing but rank Brazilians above everyone else.

I think I found him

This is what the rankings looked like at that time in comparison

And yes he did rank Jose Aldo #1 pound for pound coming off a loss to Conor
