Tapology adds opposition level ratings to UFC fighter profiles

Tapology has introduced a new feature that rates the level of opposition fighters have faced in the UFC. The rating is calculated using a specific formula and ranges from 1 to 99, based on a fighter's last six UFC bouts only. Fights outside the UFC are not included in the calculation. For UFC 328, Sean Strickland has the highest opposition rating at 74, followed by Khamzat Chimaev at 69 and Alexander Volkov at 67. On the lower end, Baysangur Susurkayev and Ozzy Diaz both have ratings of 4, the lowest on the card. This new metric provides fans and analysts with another data point to evaluate fighter quality and strength of schedule.
