The Chris....

Yea they are top notch, but Chris isnt, he's right below elite/top notch. His wins over Silva, Machida and Vitor were after there elite years, Maia is his best win. But there is nothing wrong with being the next tier lower.

Vitor was coming after 3 straight KOs vs Rockhold, Bisping and Hendo. Before he lost to Jones and finished Rumble. Doesn't look that bad.

Silva was undefeated. I like it that people say he was out of his prime. Sure, he was old, but he was on 5 consecutive finishes.

Machida was 4-1 before Weidman. Also, not that bad.
 
Till is a gatekeeper? I’d say he’s a contender with a lot of potential still. Weidman is a gatekeeper.
Don’t get me wrong is a very high-class gatekeeper but all the top guys beat him. He won’t be winning the middleweight title as long as these guys are around so I have no option but to call him gatekeeper – albeit a very good one!

Fair enough! I see it.
