HYPETRAIN: Magomed Ankalaev... who's with me?

He's got the longest winning streak in LHW history and he's barely ranked in the top five. Let's see how he does against the top of the division.

UFC rankings are more opinion based than results based which causes fighters in their prime on long winning streaks to take longer to get ranked; Another reason for this is lots of fighters rank squat and won't fight down in the rankings even after losses. I mean Glover is getting an instant title rematch after losing his belt and not having been a dominant champion and the UFC was very quick to get Jan back to a title fight.

He's already beaten 2 top 10 fighters and has another 7 wins straight to go with it some over top 15 ranked guys, if you don't think he's a legit top LHW you don't know what you're looking at.

I never said that. I said let's see how he does against the top of the LHW division.
 
kinda have had that feeling for the last couple months that he would be champ by 2023 even b4 Jiri vacated

Are top 5 and top 10 LHW's not top of the division? I don't get why you're view of top of the LHW division is so small, Jan, Glover and Jiri don't look like way better than the rest of the top 10 at LHW.

No, I do not think people ranked between #5-15 are the top of the division. He's finally at the top of the division and I'm excited to see how he does.

Because I don't jump on hype trains like you do and, to me, the top of the division is the actual top of the division, not most of the division.

Jan, Glover and Jiri don't look like way better than the rest of the top 10 at LHW.

I never boarded their hypetrains either. It seems like you can't comprehend waiting for fighters to distinguish themselves as great before proclaiming them to be great.
 
I've been on this train for years, the trains going straight to Dagestan with another UFC belt. Inshallah.
 
Damn son, were you GOatlaev guys at? Ya boy didn’t show up. Better be glad Jan gassed lol. Glover and Jiri would eat this shmuck alive, back to the fight nights for this guy
 
He's fucking awful. Here's your train:
