After a day of callouts and other guys calling him out, it seems he's now setting his sights on Usman. Bad idea Platinum. Usman will take you down and fuck you up.
I'd prefer one of these as well. Usman would dominate this fight.
I just hope they both get paid ... Because that's a real deal match up winner should crack top tenHe's definitely trying to climb the latter and not cherry picking. I'll give him that.
The Mike Pyle win was quality at the time too. What do you want me to say? Nobody likes him as a person or a fighter except maybe his mom. He has a top ten win and only one loss quite some time ago. Guys like that crack the top ten. He will probably get bounced out of the top ten, but not every guy who's just cracking the top ten with their first really good win is going to be some Kevin Lee type dude we all see greatness in.
I probably would put a win over Stun Gun over a win over Nelson. You generally don't receive style points in MMA rankings. Who cares if they have him or Pony ranked higher anyway? Put Covington at 8 or 9 and it doesn't matter. Either way you can make a fight with Maia.Do you think that decision win over Stun Gun was more impressive than Ponz knocking Gunnar out? Of course it wasn't. Yet Colby jumps over the top of Ponz? It makes no sense.
My whole point to start with was they have only put Colby at 8 to justify his upcoming fight with Maia.
They did the same thing with Nate for the first Conor fight.
It's just so obvious and transparent, I don't know why they bother.
No the real difference is Conor is an elite fighter whilst Perry isnt.One difference between platinum n Conor is platinum actually calls out everybody, while Conor was dodging wrestlers like a plague

who would you put ahead of him then who's not already? The only person I can think of would be maybe Brazilian cowboy, and I'm not exactly mad Chaos is above him.Really? I don't think you'd find many people that would agree with that.
I don't think a win over a washed up Stun Gun or Mike Pyle 3 years ago should have him anywhere near the top 10.
Don't get me wrong, I think he's a beast. Just highlighting the obvious flaws in the rankings "system".
I have no comment as I literally have no idea who Usman is.
With far superior grappling.How would he dominate this fight?
