I have a question as a result of this update. Okolie, Gassiev, Salamov (and arguably Riakporhe too) have ridiculously high ratings for what they have done at heavyweight but also their skillset. I know they racked up most of their points at lower weight classes but for Gassiev that was years ago, Salamov was two weight classes lower and for the others it shouldn't be as impactful as it clearly is for their current rating as Okolie is wayyy to high for anything he even achieved at Cruiserweight. The impact of moving up in weight classes should be reduced.

The eqivalent ratings after a division change produce a maximum likelihood of all results.

Is that across all weight classes or is there a different method for different weight classes? As there is only a few pounds between some of the lower weight classes whereas cruiser to heavy is a big difference. Adding that Sulamov has moved up from 175 to heavyweight and would be a heavy underdog against anyone he's ranked alongside.

It is the same method for all weight classes. The points convertion goes with the inverse ratio of the division weight limits.
