This is the new Sherdog Heavyweight Rankings for all of MMA. For those of you who will dismiss it as a biased ranking bought by the UFC, keep in mind that Sherdog and the UFC are at odds and don't like each other. Most of their writters are not allowed at UFC events. Also, I personally don't think much of these rankings, but many of you do, so I thought you'd want to see them.
With that said....
CONGRATULATIONS BROCK LESNAR on being ranked #1 AMONG ALL HEAVYWEIGHTS IN MMA!!!!!
After 20 fights and seven and a half years, Fedor Emelianenko’s reign atop the heavyweight division is over.
“The Last Emperor” lorded over the heavyweights for an unprecedented 2,660 days, but it came to an end in just 69 seconds in San Jose, Calif. Fabricio Werdum, viewed as an also-ran and UFC castoff, notched one of the milestone victories in mixed martial arts history with his quick triangle armbar. Now, with the longtime king dethroned, the heavyweight division is poised to take on a new look, especially with a major UFC title fight looming between Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin on July 3.

Heavyweight
1. Brock Lesnar (4-1)
While we do not know exactly how Lesnar will look in his return to the cage after his bout with diverticulitis, we do know his foe. Come July 3, he will take on Shane Carwin to unify both halves of the UFC heavyweight mantle in what should be a blockbuster match for the promotion.
2. Fabricio Werdum (14-4-1)
Werdum improbably seized the biggest moment of his career on June 26. It took the grappling star just 69 seconds to end Fedor Emelianenko’s seven-plus-year reign over the heavyweight division. Whether Werdum’s next bout is a rematch against Emelianenko or former victim Alistair Overeem, his victory will remain a massive moment in MMA history.
3. Fedor Emelianenko (31-2, 1 NC)
All good things come to an end. It was March 2003 when Emelianenko upset Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira to take MMA’s heavyweight mantle, and 87 months later, it took Fabricio Werdum just 69 seconds to force “The Last Emperor” to tap and concede that top spot. The next step for Emelianenko remains unclear, but the heavyweight landscape has definitely changed.
4. Cain Velasquez (8-0)
Whether one wants to call it a passing of the torch or a coming-out party, Velasquez’s performance against Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 110 was short and brutal. In less than half a round, Velasquez destroyed one of MMA’s most historically outstanding heavyweights in easily his most impressive performance to date.
5. Shane Carwin (12-0)
It took almost four minutes -- an eternity by his usual standards -- but at UFC 111 in Newark, N.J., Carwin blew off Frank Mir’s doors in the first round to claim the UFC interim heavyweight title. However, the real championship will be contested July 3, when Carwin meets Brock Lesnar.
6. Frank Mir (13-5)
Mir entered his March 27 bout with Shane Carwin as a slight betting favorite. However, he looked none the part in the cage, as Carwin bashed him with left hands in the clinch and decimated the former UFC champion to take the promotion’s interim title. With it, he took Mir’s chance for a rubber match with Brock Lesnar.
7. Junior dos Santos (11-1)
With five stoppages in five bouts inside the Octagon, dos Santos has put himself right in the UFC heavyweight title mix. “Cigano” might cinch a title shot for the latter stages of 2010 at UFC 117 on Aug. 7, when he meets “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 10 winner Roy Nelson in what should be an entertaining heavyweight tilt.
8. Alistair Overeem (33-11, 1 NC)
The next significant bout for Overeem became obscured in just 69 seconds. Originally thought to be the most attractive opponent for Fedor Emelianenko, the shocking defeat of “The Last Emperor” and his potential rematch with Fabricio Werdum leaves no clear path for Overeem.
9. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (32-6-1, 1 NC)
“Minotauro” had an army of backers who felt the former Pride and UFC heavyweight champion would put on a vintage performance against Cain Velasquez at UFC 110. However, post-fight discussion centered on whether or not Nogueira still has the physical tools to hang with young, elite heavyweights after Velasquez polished him off in a little more than two minutes.
10. Antonio Silva (14-2)
Ever since he ran roughshod over heavyweights in Europe back in 2005, onlookers expected heavyweight greatness from Silva. On May 15, “Bigfoot” finally took a step toward those expectations, soundly outboxing Andrei Arlovski to a unanimous decision and recording the most important win of his career.

That almost brings a tear to my eye. Just looking at that is beautiful. About time!
After this weekend, hopefully we will have a new #1 HW.

bahhhh
How can you put lessnar (4-1) at #1.. ::) ::)

They should put if anything Carwin #1
just shows the rankings as a sham..

The rankings lost creditbility...
they didnt even wait for the lessnar vs. Carwin fight... ;D

2. Fabricio Werdum
7. Junior dos Santos
Fabricio ahead of Junior Dos Santos ???
I don't agree.

You really need to pick up a new sport. You obviously have no idea how MMA rankings work.
I will agree that there is room for improvement here, but I'll take it!
If things go as planned, Carwin will be #1 by Saturday evening.
-
are you saying Brock with his 4-1 record should be #1 ????
::)
-
How does it even make sense that Velasquez is 8-0, Carwin 12-0 and Velasquez is ranked above him? :S
-
Bahahaha, Strikeforce has 2 of the top 3 HWs in the world! All these rankings show is that the UFC HW division is full of mediocre HWs. Throw Overeem in at #4 where he should be and then UFC has 3 of the top 5. LOL!
Shows how awful the HW talent is when a 4-1 fighter who has fought nothing but cans and overrated products of UFC marketing is #1. Hope Brock enjoys his 3 days as #1. ::)

UFC has the #1 ranked fighter in every weight class. Enough said.
BTW, it has already been firmly established that half of Fedor's wins were over complete cans.

You're still trying too hard. Pump the brakes and give it another shot. The 5,000 posts you've logged about Fedor in the last 72 hours tells me that you're more obsessed with him than anyone else on here.
What's the matter? You ask to suck Fedor's dick like you did Dana but he rejected you? ;D

I win. You lose. :)

Win what? The internet? Congratulations, LOL. The 5,000 posts you've logged about Fedor in the last 72 hours tells me you didn't win anything but the scorned child award.
Not much more going on for creepy 40-year-olds, I guess. :-\

I'm, not 40.
I've posted a dozen or so Fedor related posts
I was right all along. You were wrong.
Hahhah!
-
Nice try, clown. Saying Fedor is overrated for 3+ years while he wins 99% of his fights in the meantime only proves that you're a retard. You can sing your own praises all you want but in the end everyone but your gimmick knows that you don't know jack shit about MMA. Truth hurts, TUF'er. :)
You're really boring to even bother addressing. It's much funnier sitting back and watching you deny your Fedor obsession while logging 5,000 posts in 3 days about him.
-

How's that look?

The UFC has fighters ranked #1 in every division. The rest really is irrelevant.
Give it up chump...The UFC has the best fighters in the world. It is now FACT!
-
wow 4-1 over a 31-2.... pure logic... some mathematicians on that website...
even allistar and nog.. these placings seem logical.. some brainaics there
lestners record is something of non believers ..... 4 and 1 fighting cans... wow... what a superstar!!

The quality of the opponents has a lot to do with rankings as well. It is not just about the number of wins or their record.
Besides, when you get demolished in the first half of the first round by a #10 ranked guy, your placings are going to drop.
Fedor was owned by a #10 guy. Plain and simple. IMO a #3 ranking is being VERY generous.

Your 4-1 champ is not #1 .... stop ball licking so hard the UFC...

Brock is currently ranked #1.
How does that feel, knowing that a 4-1 ex WWE super star is ranked higher than you over-hyped Russian sham artist?
IMO Fedor will never be ranked #1 again. BWAHAAHHWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH :o

only on sherdog... ::)
other websites are waiting to see how the Carwin vs. lessnar fight goes..
4-1 ::)
wow your the only one that is impressed by the ranking's ::)

I will agree...After Saturday we will know for sure who is #1.
As of now, only 1 one thing is certain, Fedor's days as #1 HW are GONE!
-
I think the rankings will change a lot ..
but Fedor will still be in the top 3..
Also if a rematch happens with werdum and a fight with overeem after that..
with Fedor winning both.. this will automatically put him back at #1 by years end...

Not a chance. Fedor will never be #1 again. Guaranteed.

you want to make a bet $$$$$...

you want to make a bet $$$$$...
It is bad karma to take easy money from someone.

You can donated to charity if you want..
back up your claim :-*
-
For Fedor to be ranked #1, he would have to go to the UFC and beat 2-3 of the top guys i.e. Velaquez, Carwin & Lesnar. Not going to happen...
-
Shane Carwin will be the #1 P4P Sunday.
-
Shane Carwin will be the #1 P4P Sunday.
Let's hope!
But either way, whomever wins on Saturday will be the TRUE #1 HW. Even if it is Brock or Carwin, it will have been earned. Then we will have Velazquez come in to try and take it!
Exciting times right now in the UFC HW division!
-

It's pretty sad that he's resorted to starting hundreds of threads and then conversing with himself under his gimmick account StoolPhsr.

Too bad I am nobody's gimmick isn't it?
You have been awfully quiet since your superstar Fedor got demolished.
Life is real good!!! The UFC arleady has the #1 HW in the world. Come Saturday we will know which one has truly earned their ranking. Something that has been a long time coming!!
Don't be too upset, I am sure Fedor will stay in the top 10 for a fight or two.
-
It's pretty sad that he's resorted to starting hundreds of threads and then conversing with himself under his gimmick account StoolPhsr.
Sad, really. He's gone 5 straight days now logging dozens upon dozens of posts across his 5+ gimmicks conversing with himself about Fedor. If that's not pathetic, creepy obsession, then I don't know what it is.
-
lets see 31-2 vs 4-1...i guess i see how they can get that ::)
-
I'm amazed that you guys haven't figured out the love affair (from a certain person on here) for a 4-1 UFC/wwe fighter who just so happens to be bi-sexual with a huge penis tattooed to his chest. Wake the fuck up people!!! 40 year old people that get into MMA are either drunks or complete Queers. And I don't see no beer in Mindspin's hand ;)
-
Yeah, Brock is #1, but I heard Superfly Snuka is coming out of retirement and wants Lesnar in the cage. ::)
-
For Fedor to be ranked #1, he would have to go to the UFC and beat 2-3 of the top guys i.e. Velaquez, Carwin & Lesnar. Not going to happen...
Why would he need to do that. he has been #1 for years and never competed in the UFC. The UFC has a weak heavyweight division and Fedor would rule it. He has already proved you do NOT need to be in the UFC to be ranked #1. Why can't you see and accept that. Are you mentally challenged or something.
-
That almost brings a tear to my eye. Just looking at that is beautiful. About time!
when you're at the top, people at the bottom can't wait to see you fall ;)

-
The people that come up with these rankings are mentally retarded.. they move someone 10 spots after 1 fight ?!?!!?
WTF
They put a guy with a 5-1 record in 1st place ?!!?!

Please accept the fact that Fedor is irrelevant in the HW division.
Once you do that, life should be easier for you.
