Moving up for winning
I wanted to start a discussion on an idea. I think if a fighter beats another RANKED fighter that is lower ranked, then that should trigger a vote for the winner to move up one spot.
For example, Edwin Valero ranked #6 beat Antonio DeMarco ranked #9, using our current system DeMarco was voted down one spot. Using the proposed additional system we would also vote to see if Valero moves up a spot in this case we would compare the merit of Valero at #5 vs. Katsidis at #5.
I think it's important to recognize fighters fighting other ranked fighters.
Also, since it just a trigger to vote to move up a rank or remain at the current rank it will be taken on a case by case basis. One problem I can see immediately is that it undermines the fight for the spot system a bit.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
