The rankings are made by carefully selected journalist(most of which aren't major MMA writers for know MMA sites) regardless of the legitimacy of the writers, the rankings are often ignored on the whims of wma and the bald idiot.
The official UFC rankings and its questionable media panel
The UFC updated its official rankings on Monday. At the bottom of the rankings page, the following is stated under “How Are Rankings Determined:”bloodyelbow.com
Usada is ineffective, in fact as long as you list the steroids you've taken before you enter the pool you'll be allowed to compete after 6 months of clean test, disregarding the Gaines made while you were on the secret juice, usada also has several loopholes to do with retirement and other exemptions. The worst part is usada is as you said specifically brought in by the UFC, and paid for by the UFC, Look no further than when Nate diaz test positive and how that all worked out with usada. Drug testing should be done by individual state commissions and not by a company on the UFCs dime.
The UFC was absolutely quintessential In getting MMA legalized and legitimized in the states, however the people behind that quest were the fertita brothers and their many, many connections and billions. Dana white was an old school buddy who simply bring them the company when it was in danger of folding and acted as the face, since the fertitas have sold the UFC(upping Danas executive role) Dana and Ari Emanuel have destroyed the legitimacy of the sport of MMA all while cutting fighter pay and maximizing profit for wme.
And yeah slap fight is trailer trash garbage lol
Dana white, like most white people gets a lot of credit for minimal work and an inflated legend.
Fuck that bald dickhead.

Not necessarily true, the UFC pays usada and that decision is ultimately in their hands. It's been true for most athletes but then again they moved an entire event when jon tested positive and gave Nate diaz a pass when he tested positive
Jon barely tested positive and California was willing to accept the fact that Jon's positive test was nothing that would gain him any type of performance enhancement. Vegas would have approved it, but there was no time for their normal review. BTW... Jones was in the testing pool.Not necessarily true, the UFC pays usada and that decision is ultimately in their hands.

Nate Diaz Situation
https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2019/11/nate-diaz-discusses-ufc-244-drug-test-fiasco
It turned out that Diaz’s failed drug test was traced back to a plant-based multivitamin Diaz takes. Jeff Novitzky, the UFC VP of athlete health and performance, said Diaz would have to take 10,000 capsules of the multivitamin to gain any kind of performance-enhancing benefit.
Like I said, The UFC is not just going what they want just because they fund USADA. California Commission had to approve. BTW, California is one of the toughest commissions in the country.

Tainted supplements usually result in a reduced suspension since you're supposed to be responsible for all supplements you take, Nate got a free pass. USADA is shady at best.
USADA Once Again Suspends O’ Malley For Six Months
Sean O’ Malley has accepted a six-month suspension from United States Anti Doping Agency (USADA) for testing positive for ostarin. This explains why his fight against Jose Quinonez was moved from UFC 247 in February to UFC 248 in March.
www.mmamania.com
“O’Malley, 25, tested positive for ostarine as the result of out-of-competition urine samples he provided on August 6, 2019 and August 12, 2019. His two positives, as well as additional positives collected after August 12, 2019, were treated as a single violation because the estimated concentration of ostarine in the urine samples was consistent with ingestion prior to August 29, 2019, the date O’Malley received notification of his second violation. In addition, the pattern of low urinary ostarine concentrations observed in multiple samples provided by O’Malley was consistent with exposure to ostarine as a contaminant. Ostarine is a non-Specified Substance in the class of Anabolic Agents and prohibited at all times under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy and UFC Prohibited List. After a thorough investigation into O’Malley’s positive tests, including extensive follow-up testing, his agreement to keep a food log, his increased level of care in selecting supplements, and finding no evidence of intentional use, USADA resolved O’Malley’s case with a six-month period of ineligibility. O’Malley’s period of ineligibility began on August 6, 2019, the date his positive sample was collected.”
Strangely since Sean wasn't a big star then(isn't really one yet) UFC/USADA didn't move mountains to make the fight happen or forgive him like nate lol
UFC has the option to give an exemption, just like they did with Brock Lesnar at UFC 200… however it will be a bad look if Conor test positive after the fight…
With that being said, Conor should go to rehab instead, he shows up drunk and high on coke at every event he attends

Brock popped dirty the night of the fight in an after fight test.
Mark Hunt sued saying that the UFC knew an allowed him to compete anyway.
My point is, you must be in the USADA pool to compete.
The Commissions in each state decide who's going to fight. The UFC has no say in that.

My nigga getting that Saudi money!!
I wish Saudis loved MMA and would compete with Dana's entire business. I know this is boxing, but Dana being the only show is just a bad thing. His 'don't give a fuck' attitude would be pushed to the limit with the right comp. Everyone would benefit. Fighters need way better pay.
That said, must be a helluva bag for him to fight Tyson is boxing. Tyson is just too damn much man.
I suspect it’s gone be on some Mayweather vs Conor type shit. I doubt anyone is seriously thinking Francis is gone have a shot at beating Tyson. Maybe hope for a haymaker to land if he’s lucky in a early round.I wish Saudis loved MMA and would compete with Dana's entire business.

While Ngannou is strong, most heavyweights can hit like him. No way Francis hits harder or sharper than Wilder. Furthermore, I’ve seen the man swing haymakers and connect (see the vid below), that’s child play to a professional boxer. Fury like Mayweather will take Francis to the deep waters and tee off on him.
Either way, my money is on Tyson and hope is on Francis doing some damage.
Don't be surprised if Ngannou pulls an upset. We've seen Wilder's non boxing ass put down Fury TWICE.
I hope to see an entertaining fight.
And how dope is it to see Mike Tyson doing his best cus'damato impression training Ngannou for the fight.
It's a real life Rocky moment for sure.
