Tapology introduces opposition level metric for UFC fighters

Tapology has launched a new feature that rates the level of opposition each UFC fighter has faced, expressed as a numerical score from 1 to 99. The metric is calculated using a specific formula based on a fighter's last six UFC bouts only, excluding fights in other organizations. For UFC 328, Sean Strickland leads with a rating of 74, followed by Khamzat Chimaev at 69 and Alexander Volkov at 67. On the lower end, Baysangur Susurkaev and Ozzy Diaz both have ratings of 4, indicating significantly weaker opposition levels. The system provides fans with a quantifiable measure of schedule difficulty and opponent quality.
