BAD MMA News — Thu, 19 Sep 2013 07:03:57 +0000

The males took center stage on the third episode of The Ultimate Fighter: Team Rousey vs. Team Tate with the first male fight, while the animosity between coaches Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate boiled over. Team Tate gained matchmaking control with Julianna Pena’s submission win over Shayna Baszler and coach Tate opted to pit Chris Holdsworth against Team Rousey’s top male pick Chris Beal in this week’s match-up. Drama in the Fighter House Julianna Pena may have defeated Shayna Baszler in last week’s episode, but she is getting on her housemates’ nerves by talking in an English accent. She is accused by teammates of telling Team Rousey the planned female match-ups. Cody Bollinger confronted Pena about the allegations. Pena denied them, but that did nothing to sway her teammates from believing she did.

Ranking Criteria The rankings take into account a fighter’s wins/losses, quality of competition, finishing rate/dominance and frequency of fights. Fighters are no longer eligible to be ranked after they’ve been inactive for 24 months, either due to injuries, drug/conduct suspensions, contract disputes or self-imposed hiatuses. Fighters serving drug/conduct suspensions are eligible to be ranked, so long as they’re not inactive for more than 24 months. To the best of our ability, fighters will be ranked in their primary weight class. Catchweight fights and bouts outside the fighter’s primary weight class can have a positive or negative impact on the ranking. However, fighters can be ranked in only one weight class at a given time, and in most cases, they won’t be ranked in a new weight class until they’ve had their first fight at that weight. With women taking center stage at this past weekend’s Invicta FC 6 event, there were no changes in this week’s USA TODAY Sports and MMAjunkie.com MMA Rankings. but a few key matchups lurk on the horizon, and major shifts could lie ahead
