Fighters like, Dustin Poirier and Anthony Pettis are both considered B+s in the game, but comparing OVRS:


Pettis:

91 Striking
88 Grappling
86 Stam
87 Health

Poirier
91 Striking
89 Grappling
91 Stam
91 Health

And if you really go into detail, stat for stat Dustin in Superior in nearly everything.

Let's take a look at another weight class

Chael Sonnen, a C+ has these ratings

86 Striking
92 Grappling
91 Stam
88 Health

Göhkan Saki, a B has these ratings

91 Striking
81 Grappling. Damn near the lowest of the low.
86 Stam. (With 89 Striking Stamina, one point higher than Sonnen's despite coming from a much more heralded background in striking and going multiple rounds in K-1)
87 Health

What makes Sonnen a C+? Because looking at his stats, moveset, clinch moveset, next to say Pettis, he'd be a B+ for sure

What makes Saki a B? Aside from striking, the man's stats clearly warrant him being a C+ more than Sonnen for sure.

Let's look at another weight class

Israel Adesanya

91 Striking
85 Grappling
88 Stam (Personally I believe his striking Stamina should be much higher)
89 Health



Paulo Costa

90 Striking
86 Grappling
89 Stam
90 Health

Yet, Costa is rated a B and Adesanya is rated an A.

Comparing their stats next to each other, I can't see why Adesanya is not a B as well. Or why either wouldn't be B+s at most.

I want to hear everybody's thoughts on this, and I would like for aholbert to chime in on this as well.
It could be purely arbitrary and not a computation resulting from the stats.
