Above, see the seeds that we give the competitors, with and without the inactivity (and related) penalties that some fighters have been hit with due to the filming and pre-planning stages of the competition. Blue is most underrated, red is most overrated.
Randa Markos, last night’s upset winner, was the most underrated by the TUF seeding, based on either one of our seeds. Justine Kish also seems to be quite underrated.
Bec Rawlings appears to be the most overrated, by quite a bit.
For the most part, the “official” seeding seems quite accurate.
* – Carla’s inactivity triggered another divisional quality outlier penalty. If we took that away, but kept the inactivity, she would fall in at #4 between Torres and Kish for w/ Inactivity, and #3 at Seed Avg between Torres and Penne.
