Its true,but it was easy for him, he barely got hit in any of those fights. Cerrone actually had to work really hard and stay sharp through the gauntlet.Machida had a long way befre they gave him a shot.
.
Reem has fought Lesnar, trtfoot, Browne, Mir, Nelson, Struve, JDS, and Arlovski and is just now fighting Stipe for title.
Almost the entire UFC HW division
Who had the longest and/or toughest path to their first title shot?
Had to have a lot of fights and/or
Had to fight all very good fighters on their way?
The Lesnar win in his debut helped him out through that skid.Its arguable that if Reem wasnt so popular hedve been cut by now
