A fan had an elongated statement to make as he said this.
Keeps his ranking intact? If Dana has to say "If you don't know…" then how the hell do you still have a ranking?
That's not a good sign, for the Light Heavyweights.

Indeed, the event turned out to be a dream outing for Oezdemir. Having his opponent’s back against the wall, he wasted no time to capitalize on the situation and further clinched a dominant victory. With such a wonderful result, the Swiss star might have overcome the knockout blow he witnessed at the hands of UFC legend Daniel Cormier five years back.
