Yeah, but how? That's what I can't understand. Santos was coming off of back to back losses against jones and glover. Jiri came into the ufc with hype and huge winning streak and knocked out a former title contender, number 7 ranked. what rank would that make him? in a great fight, on a huge card that everyone watched. Jiri was CLEARLY the correct fight to take he was the only other contender that could get to the belt before him, the only fighter coming off wins. with jones gone, Jan newly crowned and fighting izzy, Smith, reyes and santos all coming off of losses the smart fight was Jiri.
winners of match ups should seek winners of match ups so this crap doesn't happen, you have two guys at the top of the division who are there from beating fighters with back to back losses.
