Tapology introduces opponent quality rankings; Strickland leads UFC 328 at 74

Tapology has introduced a new feature rating the level of opposition faced by UFC fighters on a scale from 1 to 99. The calculation uses a specific formula based on a fighter's last six UFC bouts, excluding fights in other organizations. For UFC 328, Sean Strickland ranks highest at 74, followed by Khamzat Chimaev at 69 and Alexander Volkov at 67. Joaquin Buckley (55) and Sean Brady (54) round out the top five. The lowest-rated fighters on the card include Baysangur Susurkayev and Ozzy Diaz, both at 4. This metric provides fans with data-driven context about the difficulty of each fighter's recent competition.
