The rankings are generated by a voting panel of media members who are asked to vote on who they feel are the top fifteen fighters within their divisions. <\/p>\n<p>Third ranked Tyron Woodley was expected to clash with top-ranked Johny &#8220;Big Rig&#8221; Hendricks in the co main-event of &#8220;UFC 192&#8221;, but Hendricks was forced out of the bout due to weight cutting issues. Woodley&#8217;s fight was ultimately scrapped and despite making weight, he did not step foot in the octagon in Houston, Texas.<\/p>\n<p>UFC President Dana White has a history of looking down on fighters who missed weight and it is likely Woodley will be next in line for a title shot instead of fighting Hendricks for the right. A certain media member didn&#8217;t like the sound of this, however, and states he refused to rank Woodley in a position where he could get a shot at gold.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Still thinking about things wrong with UFC&#39;s rankings?
