The guy is 38 and hasn't really beaten anyone in the top 15 yet. Nonetheless he has a 7 fight win streak and is 11-3 overall in the UFC with wins over Pearson and Felder which are decent. At this point I think he deserves a step up. Evan Dunham or Beneil Dariush might be good match ups for him to get a chance at the ranked guys.
A fight with Michael Johnson could work too. Johnson most likely wins that and gets a win under his belt over a guy with a solid win streak which would give him some more momentum to ask for a top guy. If Trinaldo pulls off that upset he would have a good argument for at least a title eliminator fight.
Either way I'm a fan of Trinaldo and I like this win streak he's quietly built(mostly fighting in Brazil). I don't think he'll ever win the title and I'm even skeptical he can beat a guy in the top 10 but I'll be rooting for him if he does get a step up and I like the fact that he's such an old guy for the division yet has been able to build up so long a streak in such a competitive division.
