Lets be real here. Fernandes is a good fighter but he lost a fight in his prime to Takaya. Now Takaya was on quite the run at the time but neither one was ever going to be a title contender in the WEC or UFC. He made a great choice for his career getting paid incredibly well in One FC to fight mediocre competition.
The Takaya bout was just an uneventful staring contest. It's not like he was outclassed by Takaya. Just shat the bed.
Bibi absolutely would have been a top guy in WEC, and would have had a good chance in a rematch with Faber (IIRC, Bibi was getting the better of Faber before the cut).
