Bellator's ranking system is something really weird, since they started with it I've seen ranked fighting unranked even in Losing streak like when Queally lost to Logan after losing in a title shot and a main event fight against Benson Henderson, Vanderford against Jeffery was clearly an attempted tune up fight gone really wrong (Austin ended up getting knocked out) and when Moret beat Yamauchi the ranking update left Yamauchi above Moret even though Dan had him right in the matchup they had (where also Yamauchi miss the weight).

Coker did the rankings to try to give more legitimacy to matchmaking and that people will stop seeing Bellator as a can-crushing fest. To this day he continues to do his missmatches or shameless can-crushing, Coker has tried to compete with the UFC, for today PFL has surpassed them as the second best MMA promotion and worldwide ONE is above Bellator and if Sakakuraba were More attentive Rizin could easily surpass Bellator in terms of quality.
