He's still in the real top 10, just not in the UFC's top 10.
Why? He's no longer in the UFC, so there's no reason he should be in their rankings. Anyone who follows the UFC knows he got released, and also knows he's a ranked MW. They're the internal rankings for the UFC, if you want to see MMA rankings, look elsewhere. Shockingly, he's still there, because... they aren't limited to just the UFC.
Getting your shit in a knot over this is retarded.
Umm, they're UFC rankings....Yushin Okami is not with the UFC anymore, therefore Yushin Okami is not on the UFC rankings.
Same reason why Pat Curran isn't in the UFC FW rankings, or Michael Chandler on the UFC LW rankings.
or am I missing something here?
It still makes the UFC look illegitimate because now other fighters move up in rankings without earning the spot. How is Rockhold #6 with a UFC record of 0-1 being brutally Ko'd?

Because Strikeforce was a Zuffa promotion, so he still has a win over Jacare and Kennedy.

but its called UFC rankings, not Zuffa rankings
Because no where in the rankings guidelines does it say that only UFC wins are considered. They just rank them by perceived skill and wins.
It looks like once they cut you, everyone else magically moves up a spot. Rockhold now #6.
Click on each media vote and you can see that the UFC censored Okami's name out on every voting ballot.
It's funny because the MW ranking lost an entire spot and no one can fill it until next week where they vote again. So it's Weidman and then #1-9 instead of #10.
Since he's not in the UFC it makes sense he's not a part of the UFC rankings. All of you who are upset by this are just being morons. THIS is not the issue of Okami being cut that is a concern.
Yet they will claim whoever is ranked 8 on their rankings is the 8th best fighter in the world...
