In boxing, the various alphabet companies who have titles have board members who rank fighters. It's full of political bullshit and can't be taken too seriously. Some bodies refuse to rank fighters who hold another world title. For example, Joe Calzaghe has been the best super middleweight fighter for the last 10 years and has never been ranked by the IBF, WBA or WBC because he was the WBO champion. He even won the IBF title in this time and the mandatory defense he would have had to have done was insane. I don't think rankings would work in MMA to be honest. Too much room for arguement and at the end of the day, it's Dana White's baby and he wants to make money. And the best way for him to do that is make the big fights and he does that.
