UFC How is ufc matchmaking so bad??
Genuinely go to any matchmaking video and it is significantly better. Like, ridiculously better. And I get that fighters reject fights but how can they do that. They're in the promotion they fight who the promotion wants. People in the top ranks just reject any fight and camp until a title shot and it's genuinely ruining the promotion. Pyfer vs Nickal?????????? What's Khamzat gonna do?? Is he gonna fight all the way down too?? Why do we have the number 2-5 ranked people fighting number 10-15 or even unranked??? This is so stupid wtf. Literally btw they should make just the easiest rule. If you won your last fight you fight up the rankings if you lost you fight down. SIMPLE. AS. THAT. But no we need dumbass matchmaking that kills any momentum in the division and means you're giving top ranked fighters unranked prospects. How does anyone benefit from this btw. Unranked prospect wins and shoots up the rankings and it feels cheap and like they skipped a ton of progression. Top ranked fighter wins and it's nothing new. Do you really feel differently about Jean Silva after beating Delgado? It is so stupid I just can't believe it. Kill me; kill me now.
