Using the strength of the resume is a great way of measuring accomplishments, but it has little to do with a fighter's p4p ranking, which is an attempt to measure a fighter's worth if everyone weighted the same.
As a simple example, when #1 and #2 ranked fighters fight each other, the loser often drops down several spots, but it truly has nothing to do with other fighters.
