Sherdog MMA Rankings seem f*cked up.

How is saying that making someone a moron? There have been plenty of fighters who just put enough pressure in submissions to cause pain and make the person tap. Hell, some fighters even let go of submissions because they don't want to break a person's limb.

I would also like to state I have been training in martial arts for over 6 years and am just really surprised at the rankings as even a casual fan could probably do a better job. And Overeem is on like an 8 fight win streak. That is pretty consistent to me even though some of the fighters were not of that high of quality until Rogers.

Does it feel enlightening to answer your own question?

Because in this sport it is more about what you do NOW. and recently fucking destroying a top level fighter should grant you top level fighter status unlike Dos Santos who has only beat a past prime Cro Cop and and unranked Gonzaga.

JDS also ko'ed the then #6 HW in his UFC debut. Frankly JDS has a better record than Lesnar, Rogers or a number of other guys. His HW record "NOW" certainly is a hell of a lot better than Overeem's crushing of Rogers. JDS should probably be around 3-4 amongst HWs.
