I’m fairly sure the UFC literally have everyone in every division ranked (but only list top 15 for each division on their website). You’ll see this on nearly every fight at the weekend when thy show the tale of the tape.
In regards to Felder not being commissioned I’d be leaning in favour of what Hooch is saying.
I think you are giving the NYSAC too little respect here. They clearly didn’t just decide for no reason that Felder isn’t good enough to fight Khabib.
The UFC have rankings there for a reason, this is what the commission would’ve used most likely. If Felder was good enough he’d have A) beaten guys ranked at a better level and B) would therefore be ranked higher and thought to be at a level good enough to compete with Khabib.
Felder is all heart and I’m a big fan of his style, but I’d be leaning with the commission here. They needed something to go by, and went for UFC’s rankings mostly one would assume... and less likely, but possibly, looked at the fighter’s past fights and deemed Felder not able to complete at that level.
