Tapology introduces opposition quality metric for UFC fighters

Tapology has launched a new feature that calculates and displays an opposition quality level for UFC fighters in their profiles. The metric uses a proprietary formula and rates competition on a scale from 1 to 99 based on a fighter's last six UFC bouts, excluding fights in other organizations. For UFC 328, Sean Strickland leads with a score of 74, followed by Hamzat Chimaev at 69 and Alexander Volkov at 67, with Joaquin Buckley and Sean Brady rounding out the top five. At the other end, Baysangur Usurkayev and Ozzy Diaz share the lowest score at 4. The system provides fans and analysts with a quantifiable measure of the caliber of opponents each fighter has faced recently.
