There were no official rankings at that moment, and guess what: he was never a top-10 heavyweight in the world per unofficial rankings. Tickets below.

As I am almost 40, I had the misfortune to watch this mishmash on TUF Heavyweights, and whoever had any semblance of MMA knew right away that he would have a limited career. Not a knock on a guy if he was normal, as that took a lot of courage, and knocking out CroCop was a huge deal, but he always must add plus one. There is also one guy who added to his record, although the military one, and they are very good buddies...
