If he decisively beats Romero and Jacare (and possibly Rockhold again)?
Everyone says he's the weakest champion but to be fair let's give him credit:
1. Won TUF.
2. Fought at LHW and arguably should have beat Rashad who was LHW champ.
3. Never turned down a fight (some fucking around lately with the GSP option but at the end of the day fighters have lost all their sponsorship monsey due to the Reebok bullshit so you can't blame them especially when the UFC has let McGregor get away with opponent-picking so much).
4. Strikes with everyone even if they're a KO artist or a dangerous striker themselves.
5. Beat Silva (arguable a KO by Silva but that was his fault for walking away, not Bisping's fault) after campaigning for a fight with him for years.
6. KO'd Rockhold fair and square for the belt.
7. Defended against Henderson who may not have deserved the shot but was a genuine threat and if anything to me that's braver risking your belt against an old non-contender who could still very well KO you with 1 punch.
Yeah he can be a loud-mouth but he still gets in there and bangs so it doesn't really bother me. If not beating Romero, Jacare and Rockhold...what would he need to do for you to respect him as a champion?
