If we employ your logic, Eddie Alvarez wouldn't be a top 10 fighter at 155 because he fights in Bellator against the likes of Roger Huerta. Yet, if you went up to anyone who truly follows MMA and told them that they'd laugh in your face.

Hell, if we use that logic then Alistair Overeem has no business being in the top 10 as a heavyweight since most of his wins came in Japan against the likes of Todd Duffee and Mark Hunt. He's overranked then right?

While we're using that logic, Wanderlei Silva should be remembered mostly as a can smasher too since the vast majority of his wins were in Japan against Japanese fighters people have never heard of. Is Wanderlei's career overrated?

Prior to losing these past two, people were saying Fedor was the number one heavyweight in the world. Who had he beaten during that stretch of '05 to '09 though? Matt Lindland? Hong Man Choi? Wasn't Fedor overrated during that period then?
