Why is he clearly the number one contender? Because he beat Glover over 14 months ago ? Does time just stand still if you don’t fight? Corey Anderson just beat Glover yesterday
I'm not quite sure if you're aware of how this works, but obviously if you beat someone when they had less losses and were higher ranked it is the better win than if you beat them after they've suffered more losses and dropped lower in the rankings.
Corey got a good win when he beat Glover. Gus got a better win when he did it before Corey though.
Now is a perfect time to just let the lhw division develop and let Cormier fight at heavyweight. Lhw has no deserving contender and it a pathetic shit show anyway . Something is not always better than nothing.
What do you mean let things develop? Gus was supposed to fight #2 Volkan before Volkan dropped out. They were supposed to develop but Volkan's got a broken nose and won't be fighting for awhile. Gus is the #1 contender, both in fact by rankings and reality. It's silly to say otherwise.
Also, why the fuck would you let things "develop" if Cormier only has 8 months left in the sport? Either Cormier is defending this year like he said he would or at worst he's gone by next year and they need a new champion. So why the fuck would you schedule a fight to eliminate contenders now? Either the contender is fighting the champion or the contenders are fighting each other to be the new one. You don't have contenders fight for contendership at this point.
If DC wants money fights just do it and have at it, but don't pretend contenders should just be fighting away at each other to keep them occupied because DC wants bigger payday fights. There's no need to be two faced and a hypocrite.
