Tapology Introduces Opposition Level Metric for UFC Fighter Profiles

The MMA database website Tapology has implemented a new feature calculating an "opposition level" rating for UFC fighters, expressed on a scale from 1 to 99. The metric is determined by a specific formula available on the site and considers only a fighter's last six UFC bouts, excluding fights in other organizations. For UFC 328, Sean Strickland leads with a rating of 74, followed by Hamzat Chimaev at 69 and Alexander Volkov at 67. At the lower end of the card, Baysangur Susurkaev and Ozzy Diaz both rate at 4, with Jorden Santos at 6. The system provides a quantitative assessment of the quality of competition each fighter has faced in recent UFC appearances.
