Pretty sure Gilbert has to go through Benson to be considered #1...
Dude has it ass backwards.
This.

I agree...And he's more than willing to do that...I'm a bigger fan of this revision as opposed to below.
Gil is every bit if not more proven than any LW in the world today...
He doesn't need any type of UFC warm up, nor should a fighter of his stature require it...He's more than ready to take on Henderson.
Very good. Now there is no need to add anything else.
Based on the fact that he's been the SF champ for so long, I have no problem with him walking in and getting a title shot. But I don't think his record suggests that he's as proven if not more so than a lot of guys in the UFC. I'm not trying to say that fights only matter in the UFC but I don't think Gil's wins are that impressive.

The entire point of the thread is that he's claiming he's #1, which no MMA ranking system, fan, or fighter would agree with. Dumbass there is just being contrary to show what an elite MMA fan he is.
Dude, what are we talking about here? You're skewing Gil's words yourself. He says he's #1, we say he's not and you say we're discrediting him entirely by saying that. Get it together.
That's very sad...
On a side note...You guys do realize fighters like Thomson and Masvidal ARE coming to the UFC? And you realize they will be fighting in the UFC 155 division, right?
And when they either beat or bring the top fighters to the limit? It will be very interesting to see how many react...Like maybe this will convince some his wins are impressive even though you were not instructed by a marketing campaign to think that way....
I remember this guy from the WEC who was discredited in the same manner many are doing to Gil....Ya, he's the UFC champ now...
That's fine, but I don't like the fact that me saying "Gil is not #1 or even #2" = "I think Gil sucks."
The entire point of the thread is that he's claiming he's #1, which no MMA ranking system, fan, or fighter would agree with. Dumbass there is just being contrary to show what an elite MMA fan he is...all the while missing the entire point, which is standard issue for him.
Ah and a visit from facedancer once again not making a hint of sense nor paying attention. It's what she does best.
What's sad?
That my opinion differs from yours.
Because you think one fighter is the #1 LW in the world and I don't?
That's sad? Get a grip. Just because I don't think Gil isn't the #1 LW or even #2 LW or #3 LW for that matter does not mean that I think Gil not a "proven" fighter.

Interesting observation or your version of an insult? .
You've allowed yourself to be dragged into a shit conversation with a moron. You have no one to blame but yourself. Ignore...as I do.
You have a woman in your avatar
That you don't thin Gilbert Melendez has impressive wins. Yes it's sad.
No not at all...It's explained above.
Show me where I ever stated once that Gil should be the #1 ranked LW in the world. Again paying attention is imporant. Then you can actually follow what's going on here.
I'd stick with this mindset.
Instead of this...(aka where I came into this conversation)
