wrong. contenders CONTEND FOR TITLES. if you never get a title shot, you're not contending.
Once again, totally wrong. You're a contender whether or not you get a title shot. If you're ranked high you're a contender. It has nothing to do with whether you actually get a shot or not. By your logic Tony Ferguson is not a contender. LOL
uhh ...no Tony is a contender because he's CONTENDED FOR TITLES.

The pic you posted sums it up perfectly. "in order to" means "for the purpose of"
A qualified opponent who has worked his way up the ranks for the purpose of challenging for the world title.
Doesn't mean that they have, or ever will. It means they are eligible for consideration as a worthy title challenger.
I think Glover gets picked apart on the feet before he can even get it to the ground. He’s not any faster or less predictable than he was in his last title fight (six years ago), and though Adesanya isn’t Jones, he matches up very well with Glover.Really think about it? Sure...izzy can probably butcher Jan with speed... But even Old man Glover is BRUTAL on the ground. I cant help but think of this match up being and bad one for Izzy. Glover has shown the ability and willingness to implement a grapple heavy approach. Am i crazy for thinking this? If he can beat Santos this is a legit possibility lol.
I think you are buggingI think Texiera is a tougher matchup for Adesanya than Blachowicz is...
I think you are bugging
This is true. Point is, is he hasn't faced a true wrestler yet, and theres a bunch of great strikers that are evasive, look at Conor when he faced Khabib, but once their put against the cage it's a whole different animal. Glover would absolutely be a hard fight for him, if Souza would not have fallen in love with striking he would be a sollid test also. And so would Hernanson. Until i see Izzy fight against a solid grappler, I can't say he's a world beater like everyone else. Jan is also a black belt in jj and really good on the ground, but he's gonna try to knock him out with his "polish power" as he constantly says in every interview. I'm not writing Jan off like everyone else, i think he has a shot. And Izzy losing would be HORRIBLE for uncle Dana
Yeah he was a beast, not strictly true about DC, but yeah he certainly was more successful.
What makes you think I didn't? I was responding to someone saying DC had 0 success trying to wrestle, that Gif proves otherwise.Did you even watch that fight?
Jones stuffed all of DC's TDs in the early rounds and embarrassed DC by taking him down three times in the fourth.
DC spent the duration of the fifth trying to get a TD. Jones wasn't even defending that slam and he got back up immediately.
