Look at https://www.ufc.com/rankings and see where Chito is on the list..this fight is revenge not a fear of contenders
Hint: He's ranked as the #5 contender, not the #1 contender... He's actually ranked #6 if you count the champ as #1.
I understand why the UFC is doing it, but it doesn't make sense if the champ is supposed to fight the best contender.
We all know that Merab and Sandhagen are the much bigger threats, and this fight is a much easier matchup for Sean to win.
Also, Sandhagen just had a win over Chito. He is currently ranked higher than Chito. But Chito is now fighting for the title....
