They placed Bigfoot Silva above Daniel Cormier and Fabricio Werdum two people he had lost to please explain how a comeback victory against an over confident overeem puts you in front of the man who knocked you out and a guy you lost a decision victory over a guy with more impressive wins?

Fightmatrix reankings are based on a weird formula, don't try to get any explanation, because you won't.

it doesn't say he's better than them, in fact, there could be someone out there ranked #313 that could beat Velasquez, but that doesn't mean shit.

I agree with it if that's what their formula says.
Bigfoot KO'd Browne and Overeem, and Overeem was #3 or #4 I believe. Werdum beat Nelson and Bigfoot, but he beat Bigfoot before this happened. He also lost to Overeem.

Cormier has just one really big win and his most recent fight barely raised his points.

Their ranking system reminds of the BCS for college football.
