Tapology introduces opponent level metric for UFC fighters

Tapology has introduced a new feature displaying opposition level ratings in UFC fighter profiles. The metric is calculated using a special formula and expressed as a number from 1 to 99, based on a fighter's last six UFC bouts only. Fights in other organizations are not counted in the calculation. For UFC 328, the top five highest ratings are Sean Strickland (74), Khamzat Chimaev (69), Alexander Volkov (67), Joaquin Buckley (55), and Sean Brady (54). The five lowest ratings on the card belong to Baysangur Susurkayev (4), Ozzy Diaz (4), Jordens Santos (6), Yaroslav Amosov (7), and Ateba Gautier (7). The feature provides a data-driven assessment of the quality of competition fighters have faced.
