Joe Pyfer is the newest UFC fighter who’s sad with the promotion’s pointless rating system.
“Bodybagz” gained the largest victory of his profession final month, successful a unanimous resolution victory over Kelvin Gastherm at UFC 316 in New Jersey.
Regardless of being on high, Pyfer did not discover the quantity subsequent to his title the next Monday.
“After Kelvin Gastherm gained, I am not a ranked UFC middleweight,” Pyfer instructed MMA Junkie. “I beat the Corridor of Fame legend for a struggle with Izzy, and then you definitely bought three and two people who find themselves already ranked within the quantity 11 or high 15. I believe that is ridiculous. That is proper.
UFC rankings are sometimes criticized by followers and fighters, however that is one state of affairs the place it might have really made it proper.
Gastherm is taken into account by many to be a sport legend. As “Bodybagz” mentioned, he’s a UFC Corridor of Fame and a former interim title challenger. Nonetheless, the very fact stays that Gastherm will not be a ranked fighter, and that he steps into the Octagon with Piffer earlier than he was solely 2-3 together with his final 5.
If Pyfer needs a quantity subsequent to his title, he must look elsewhere. Maybe it is a battle with No. fifteenth candidate Abs Magomedov?
