He went into the fight on a seven fight undefeated run, with four of those in the UFC which isn't terrible but was really fortunate that it was at a time when there wasn't many obvious top contenders as GSP had already cleared out the division. Plus Dana was still desperately trying to build up British stars as was trying to crack the UK PPV market.
But for those saying it was the least deserving title shot I present to you Justin Eilers. One win over Mike Kyle in the Octagon, then got smashed by Paul Buentello in three minutes which somehow earned him a title shot against Andrei Arlovski at UFC 53.
