Would Cote Franklin be considered better wins than Maia Munoz

[ABC]

A win over Franklin should definitely put Le ahead of Weidman.

Cote Franklin believe it or not is better. K1 Maia and Chubby Munoz offer nothing and they dont even have top 10 wins either. I mean it doesnt mean Le is better than Weidman cause i think Weidman is the #2 MW but he hasnt proved much. I would like him to beat Belcher Vitor or Lombard.

Ok so weidman dropped munoz who has never been champ with an elbow and finished with GnP.

Cung Le faceplanted the 2nd greatest MW of all time.

I think franklin > munoz all day.

Cote is lucky to be in the UFC and ace is long past his prime. I love ace but we really haven't seem him beat a relevant mw in a long long time.

Munoz and Maia are by far the better wins.

Then cung has wins over non contenders and they are considered better.

Laughable really.

Yup. There is almost no one Weidman could have beat in those two fights at the time he beat Maia and Munoz and got credit. People on this forum were saying he needed real wins and including Belcher and Palharas in that list. If he had beat either of them, they too, like Munoz, Maia would have been treated as cans. Bisping only got cred in his loss to Chael. If Weidman had beat him prior to that, then again they would say Bisping loses to everyone. Even a win over Belfort would be fodder. I think the only wins he might have got credit for would have been Sonnen and Okami. Everyone else would be trashed because basically as soon as a fighter loses he is the one that is no good and Weidman needed to fight the guy who has not lost yet.
