UFC very clearly want to push him into the title picture very soon
Left as Champ, comes back unranked, knocks off #2, seems legit...
In all actuality if we were doing the ranking based on current ability and past fight performances, without giving the titleholder an automatic #1 spot, they would arguably read as follows... Aljo didn’t show us anything in his last performance to suggest that he’s truly one of the top 3 players.
1.) Yan
2.) TJ
3.) Sandhagen
4.) Font
5.) Aljo
he shouldn't have been fighting for #2 in the first place, tho.

Even if you think he lost, the fight was still extremely close and competitive"won"

But Aljo ran through Sandhagen like fire through bushes. Cory shouldn't be ranked ahead of him now. What would warrant that?
I could care less about rankings but Aljo smoked Sandhagen a year ago, Cory lost that and Saturday night and you still have Sandhagen at #3 and Aljo at #5. I know you're saying without giving the title holder auto #1 but saying "Aljo didn’t show us anything in his last performance to suggest that he’s truly one of the top 3 players" while Aljo smoked #3 a year ago is just weird. I'm assuming you forgot about that fight. Not giving you shit, it just doesn't make sense to me.
With all the respect to you and your opinion, but following that logic Yan didnt seem to have the ability to fight clean and not using an illegal knee in a title fight, so he shouldnt be number 1. Ranks are based on what you actually do and not what you potentially could.
Also how is Cory above Aljo, when Sterling finished him easily in 1 round?
Aljo finished Sandhagen in the first round. How do you rank Corey above him?
TJ had to battle through because Corey fucked him up. TJ barely landed anything but pitty patter leg kicks that didn't even look to bother Corey. Corey did more damage to TJ's leg in one submission attempt than TJ did with all his strikes. It was a complete robbery, ala Diego Sanchez/Leonard Garcia.People yelling robbery but the better fighter clearly won. TJ had to battle through a popped knee and a bad cut and still managed to do as well as he did
