Post-Strikeforce: Feijao vs. Henderson ranking update

Almost forgot to do this one. Though Feijao was ranked at #11 before the bout, I’ve opted to raise Henderson all the way up to #9 following his win. A win over a #11 fighter, combined with the fact that he’s undefeated it his current light-heavyweight stint and already holds a win over Rich Franklin, makes his P3Y record more attractive than that of Franklin or Thiago Silva.
