Sean Strickland, why do it’s a must to maintain doing this?
Pay attention, I do know rankings are silly. Pound-for-pound rankings particularly are largely theoretical, and the factors are sometimes imprecise, relying on who you ask. However I like them. They’re enjoyable to debate. They’re nonetheless actual to me!
However you understand what’s not enjoyable? Strickland defeated one other seemingly unbeatable champion and single-handedly shattered the pound-for-pound MMA preventing listing. This is not the primary time both. He did the identical factor three years in the past at UFC 293, and final Saturday at UFC 328 he simply defeated Israel Adesanya, who’s ranked even larger than Khamzat Chimaev. We wrote about how Strickland destroyed the system, and now he is bringing the hammer down on it once more.
That stated, you might argue that the rankings by no means recovered from the Strickland shock. The present mess continues, with Strickland again within the high 10, Chimaev dropping from the highest 5 to eleventh (helped by the quickly rising Joshua Vann), Dorikas du Plessis surprisingly ending thirteenth regardless of beating Strickland twice, and all types of different weirdness.
