And even that one sole win is a split decision against 57 year old Jacare.
And even then his record prior to 6 years consists of victories via split decisions or against retirees.
Are we overrating Gastelum much?
He lost to Weidman a few years ago, and who does Weidman ever beat anymore?
And I don’t think highly of Israel either. Just last year he was struggling hard against Marvin Vettori. Who the fook is that guy?
Is this the lowest level of competition for a title fight we have had in some time?
that's the cutest duck I've seen all day. Quality post.
Can you imagine if it was Mousasi vs. Israel for the title. I don't see how Israel could win that one. But with Kelvin he has a chance.I do agree that these guys are FAR from being the best MWs. Bispings cowardice ruined the once great MW at its heyday.
Contenders like Romero, Jac, Whit, Weidman, Rockhold, etc took each other out (Moose left the UFC altogether) while Bisping opted to fight 50 year old Hendo and Retiree GSP in order to avoid REAL contenders.
However Kelvin did retire that British Duck, and that alone is title shot worthy imo.
