Give it a rest, the rankings are fair and impartial. They don't always make sense but they're not better or worse then any other 'subjective' rankings, in fact they hold a lot more meaning then a straight up number like 1-10.

 

search it on google it comes up.

the thing they do that doesn't make sense is that a win against a fighter who is ranked 10 in the world is no more valuable than a win over someone who is ranked 44.
