This league is built around having the best fighters of all time fighting each other IN THEIR PRIME. But many people have selected hot young studs currently in, or approaching, their prime. As such, when they were created, they were not as good as they are now, in real life.
So here's the poll question: Should we allow a re-rate, where people can submit young guys to be re-rated based on their most recent few performances?
This would NOT affect guys like GSP, Anderson Silva, or guys CLEARLY in their prime, or past their prime. But only YOUNG guys, like John Dodson (who was created right after he won TUF and was untested in real competition), Rory MacDonald (if he beats Penn), Paul Sass, or anyone else you feel is VERY CLEARLY ENTERING their prime now.
So here's the poll question:
OPTION 1: Leave those fighters as they are. They were brought into the league before their prime - that's the drafting teams fault (even if they no longer have that guy).
OPTION 2: Allow limited (or one-time only) re-rates of these fighters so they are fighting in ManMMA in their primes.

I'm with Cannon on this one... Yah, sure, it'd be great to get a re-rate, but if it's a fighter that we've already upgraded and put points into, you're likely not going to be adding those points we've put in, on top of the re-rate. This seems kind of pointless TBH

As I said, this is for people like John Dodson. When he was drafted, he had 1 UFC fight. Now, he is a #1 contender. It's to bring the guys who were drafted early in their careers to where they should have been, had I been able to see the future. That is all that is happening here.
People do it all the time on hockey Sim sites, when they upgrade to the new EA game every year. Here I am just talking about doing it with one or two key fighters.
Also, for the public record, none of my fighters would be affected by this.

I am saying these guys affected are guys who SHOULD be rated higher, but again, since I cannot see the future, I was unable to make them better then they currently deserve.

I think this re-rate needs to happen, won't fuck up anyone's current application of points, and does not hurt the league in any way. If anything, it makes divisions more interesting as guys who ARE good will be BETTER than their mediocre-to-shit quality that they currently have. It would be like having a young GSP and watching him lose to Jason Miller every night.

And to clarify, not that many people would be affected by this immediately. We're looking at Dodson, maybe Texierxa (depending on how he does in his next fight), and maybe Weidman. Just a few examples offhand. Not many, league-wide.

Penn is old enough and Rory was established enough when I made him that I don't really feel there is a huge discrepancy between created Rory and Real Life Rory. Maybe if Rory destroys GSP IRL he gets a tweak.
