Didnt the same thing happened with Rogers? Before he fought Fedor he was not ranked and then afterwards he was in the top 10.
but in the end, does it really matter if your not a champion? We could debate rankings night and day...............but how can a guy be ranked higher than the champion in the guys same division? Yeah, Fedor is supposedly a great fighter, but thats only 1 solid win under Werdum's belt; he hasnt proven anything by having it.
