His only wins of note at 145 in the last three years are Miyata and Bibiano (whom he didn't demolish btw). I could be wrong but I think his only top 10 win at 145 is the decision win over Curran in 2003.

He's very well-respected and considered number 1 or 2 in the world in terms of ability, I don't think anyone doubts that. But he doesn't have a whole lot of good wins. His record is somewhat padded and some of his biggest wins are questioned (Genki early stoppage, Uno cut). The main reason he's not ranked by Sherdog or MMAWeekly is probably inactivity. He's only fought three times since the end of 2005. Took some time off to pursue an Olympic bid.
