Because, I don't understand how a guy who fought shonie carter and chris lytle on the ultimate fighter show to become the number contender for the welterweight title and ultimately upsets GSP and becomes the champ, make him a number 2 fighter in the world???
IMO until there is a clear distinction between ranking fighters based on perceived talent or ability versus recent/lifetime accomplishments top ten rankings will always be a mess in a situation like this. Or any situation really. In my mind Serra is probably a borderline top ten WW at best, but a victory over GSP is something only one other fighter can claim, but then again that guy hasn't accomplished too much lately either
