Winning a Rizin title doesn't matter? lol ok.
I'm sorry, I only debate with shertards who matter.

I’m fully supportive of BearJew, tough as nails and an exciting fighter...IMO he’s just too chinny to consistently win against the elite and string together a streak to get him to within title contention.

I don’t think it’s as wide open you imply. Jan is a solid champ. And other than fact that Glover is number 1. Which he earned. There are serious solid up and comers in the rest of the top 5, I believe.
As to the actual question of the thread. It’s mma..anything can happen. I actually really like Craig, but I predicted Hill would win. Craig is one of those weird specialists that could make a serious run. But he’d be the underdog against most of those guys near the top.
My short answer is no. But, I’d like to see him succeed at or near the top.

The fact that he is 4-1-1 in his last 6 is amazing.
He was losing to Magomed and Kennedy before getting the underdog win. Props to him but he was really close to having 6 straight losses had he not gotten those 2 submissions.

Explain in great detail how it was a fluke.
There are 2 in the men's division. Just sayin'
I think he was a middle school math teacher when he first came up?

What the hell is a BearJew? Sounds like a quick way to get the double yellows.......

Yeah but they are champion because they have also a really good striking. Oliveira won his title by TKO and Moreno did sub Figgy but he can thanks the fact that he was outstriking him.
I think the point he is trying to make is that you can't make it to the title with your sub skills only, you need a certain level in the striking.
That's whats differenciate Oliveira, Moreno, Ortega from Bryce Mitchell/Paul Craig/Maia/Ryan Hall/Hermansson.
That's my opinion only but i have a hard time remembering who was the last guy to climb on the top a division mostly with submissions ? Demian Maia and who ?
