IMO Hermansson gives you access to the Top 5, and a title eliminator must take place inside the top 5.
so top 5 guys are top guys to you? just wanted to clarify your meaning

Izzywho are the top guys then if hermansson isn't among them?
100% agree with all of thisYeah that's the way i see it. I don't like seing someone having a titleshot after beating a guy below #5 unless there's is a short notice or injury ect...
But, and that's jsut my opinion, i'm not high on Hermansson and i see him a tier below Whitaker, Cannonier and Costa (the "i can clearly see him being the champ" tier).
I must say i'm a bit bias because i really don't care about Hermansson, i'm good if i never see him in the UFC anymore.
So why didn’t Cannonier get a title shot when he destroyed him ? But Vettori wins a boring decision and qualifies him for a title shot .....Makes no sense and Hermansson is a good win , but he isn’t a top guy
I consider Hermansson a good win , but one tier below the the top guys .....Whittaker definitely deserves the shot
Hermansson was ranked in the top 5 or top 7 when he lost to Vettori, that's a top guy.
Hermansson is in a strange spot where half of the people see him as a possible title contender and the other half see him as the Top 5 gatekeeper at best. Kinda like Darren Till and Gastelum, there's no consensus on his ceiling. We need one more fight to make our mind.
Could be but if Vettori spams takedowns he'd probably win.That’s works .....Whittaker would destroy him
This idea that only the top 5 of a division are top guys is kind of ridiculous to me, if a division only has 5 top guys that division sucks and I don't think MW sucks. Besides, Hermansson was ranked either 5th or 6th when Vettori beat him.
I agree with you, when i say Top 5 it's just an expression. Maybe i should say the "Could clearly be champion" tier instead of Top 5. And again, that's just opinion, not facts, but we can agree that matchmaking is not based on facts
That was a super green rob at 170 come on man. Also rob is the best anti wrestler at 185 and Vettori does not have the hands to beat rob. Rob struggles against long counter punchers but he eats grapplers for breakfast. Your judgement is clouded by robs dramatic loss to Izzy.Vettori is 10X the fighter that Whittaker is. Marvin would never lose to Wonderboy.
Whittaker would never lose to Shoeface or draw with Omari Akhmedov.Vettori is 10X the fighter that Whittaker is. Marvin would never lose to Wonderboy.
Wouldn't give Vettori the loser which imo will be Gastelum, a fight against Costa would make the most sense, or even re-booking a fight with Till.Vettori’s fight with Adesanya was much closer than Whittaker vs Adesanya.
Winner of Whittaker vs Gastelum gets the title shot; Vettori fights the loser and if he wins then he gets the next title shot.
LolIn fairness Cannonier was losing the Hermansson fight prior to the KO
Bet you said the same thing before he fought Till and Cannonier, shifting the goal posts now are we? For the record Gastelum's a far more dangerous fight than Vettori for Whittaker. Whittaker stops the takedowns and picks Vettori apart on the feet.Rob's chin is gone. He's been put on bambi legs by a one-armed Cannonnier, by Till and got knocked the fuck out by Izzy.
Both Gastelum and Vettori will/would also finish him.
No I said Vettori sucks and he didn’t show me anything to change my mind ....I fully expected him to beat no camp Holland , Till would’ve embarrassed him ....nice try though.......
