DLC Fighter Power Rankings

[TheRizzzle]

Here are my DLC Fighter Power Rankings after last night's events. Eventually when DLC is done I'll transition this to a fighter addition power ranking for UFC 5.

Here are my guidelines for the rankings. I looked at fighters that are highly ranked, headlining shows, in title contention or are in divisions that are thinly populated in the game (that's the reason you'll see a heavy emphasis on flyweight and the women's divisions below).

Fighters getting a push by the UFC are also weighted differently than others.

Check it out.

1. Marvin Vettori
2. Kevin Holland
3. Aleksandar Rakic
4. Ciryl Gane
5. Jiri Prochazka
6. Xiaonan Yan
7. Irene Aldana
8. Amanda Ribas
9. Geoff Neal
10. Islam Makhachev
11. Brandon Royval
12. Kai Kara-France
13. Tyson Nam
14. Maycee Barber
15. Casey Kenney

Chito Vera? Had to do a double take when I realized he wasn't in the game yet..

Leaving him off isn't a disrespect to his skill.

It's more about there being divisions that are shallow and fighters that are headlining shows or are closer to title contention than him.

Blowing my old criteria up and making this more of a prediction/wish list since we're down to the last few patches (if that).

Ideally, the roster should support the ability to recreate as many main events and title fights in between games. So the priority will be first to get ranked fighters who are headlining or likely to headline shows into the game, followed by weight class needs and finally popularity/likely to get a push by the UFC.

My tiebreaker is obviously my personal preference.

Here are my updated rankings:
1. Kevin Holland
2. Ciryl Gane
3. Marvin Vettori
4. Aleksandar Rakic
5. Xiaonan Yan
6. Amanda Ribas
7. Islam Makhachev
8. Bryce Mitchell
9. Maycee Barber
10. Geoff Neal
11. Marina Rodriguez
12. Irene Aldana
13. Miranda Maverick
14. Magomedov Ankalaev
15. Diego Ferreira
