Tapology introduces opponent quality metric for UFC fighters

Tapology has launched a new feature calculating an opposition level rating for UFC fighters on a scale of 1 to 99. The metric is based on a specific formula considering a fighter's last six UFC bouts only, excluding fights in other organizations. For UFC 328, Sean Strickland leads the card with a rating of 74, followed by Khamzat Chimaev at 69 and Alexander Volkov at 67. At the bottom of the card, Baisangur Susurkayev and Ozzy Diaz both have ratings of 4, while Jorden Santos sits at 6. The system provides a quantitative measure of the strength of schedule each fighter has faced recently.
