Fedor was ranked P4P #1 by sherdog for many years. As soon as Werdum subbed him they took him off the P4P list completely. Has this happen to any fighter?

"For seven and a half years, Fedor Emelianenko was a fixture in the rarified air of pound-for-pound lists. Not anymore.

Emelianenko's shocking June 26 loss to Fabricio Werdum radically resculpted the face of the heavyweight division and also the pound-for-pound list. For the first time since its inception, the Sherdog.com P4P rankings now feature no heavyweights."


1. Anderson Silva (26-4)
2. Georges St. Pierre (20-2)
3. Jose Aldo (17-1)
4. Frankie Edgar (12-1)
5. B.J. Penn (15-6-1)
6. Jon Fitch (22-3, 1 NC)
7. Mauricio Rua (19-4)
8. Jake Shields (25-4-1)
9. Lyoto Machida (16-1)
10. Rashad Evans (15-1-1)

Basically, if someone is not in the UFC, then they can’t be ranked highly. That’s been decided somewhere by some people.
Fedor was the exception because of his accomplishments in Pride, followed by his destructions of Timmy and Arlovski.

Convict fans are the most delusional in all of mma. But Fedor fans whine more than any fan base in mma. Both are annoying as fuck.

Waaaa but he’s the GOAT. There’s nothing wrong with being number 2. So deal with it and quit crying you babies.

Damn, you're right! Gsp should be #1 he has 3 wins over p4p fighters, plus Matt Hughes and bisping
 
The guy truly did some great things in his career. People can most certainly argue for goat status with his body of work.

The thing about history is that the people who are in a position to record it get to do so how they interpret it. The ufc is every bit as good at telling you who is great as they are at telling you who is not so no need to think for yourself. I see the effects of it all the time on here.
 
It was weird Fedor was #1 P4P for years, I don't remember GSP or Anderson dropping out after losses or BJ Penn. Fedor after 1 loss was taken off completely. It was weird.
 
p4p lists are pretty pointless and sherdog's is usually pretty questionable. but yeah, that was exceptionally odd.

Jon Fitch the sixth best fighter in the world lmao. I'm pretty sure Diego Sanchez was his best win at the time of that.
