Why flyweight champ Henry Cejudo has a claim on UFC heavyweight belt + could Neo4j save me time here?
MMA is crazy sport. The craziest one there is. Hands down..And with such crazy and unpredictable sport come also unexpected wins and loses. Some are flukes and some are beginnings of the new era. But at that moment, they all feel the same - WTF??
So I've decided to take it one step further and make one WTF claim here. According to the UFC history, newly crowned Flyweight Champ and Olympic wrestling champ Henry Cejudo actually has a reasonable claim on the UFC heavyweight championship!! Why?? Well, check this table yourself..

THIS TOOK ME MORE THAN FREAKING 1 HOUR!!
Haha I thought it'll be cca 15 minutes at max...But it was much more difficult. Here just some funny points I noticed during this "well spent" hour :D
- Jon and DC defend that LHW suuuperstrong. Just this alone shows that the GOAT should be chosen between these two. If there wasn't that Mat Hamill DQ, I would have to stop there and then.
- It was also pretty hard to find a link from Bantamweight to Featherweight.
- Bantamweight with featherweight was easy just cuz of John Dodson and his win over TJ which gave me a lot of freedom for the next step cuz TJ is dominating people left and right..
I've done this manually
..and realized how happy I am to be a programmer and have some overview over current technologies and even the theory behind it. If this Sherdog database could be loaded into some Graph database like Neo4j, I'd looove to play around with it :) I just checked real quick and it seems Sherdog offers API to get the fighter's data, so it should be possible. It would provide so many nice insights and statistics...well, maybe when I'll have some time in the future :) This could be supercool exercise even for basic algorithm classes in the Uni - shortest paths, dijkstras etc etc on ordered graph...shit, I'd love to get such data like this for homework :DYou can find my latest posts here:

Lol. Awesome. Good job
Decision victories are biased in fighting, leaves the door open for bet fixing & fighters being cheated out of wins & money.
The judging system needs a lot of improvements
100%. Joe Rogan has sooo many cool insights into improvements of judging system. But for now, decisions should be respected as there's nothing official other than that.
