Some names like Cerrone carry a lot of weight because they are so tough to beat and lose infrequently so I don't think it's fair to categorize him as a gatekeeper

The real gatekeeper for every division.

 

[MCS]

Gatekeeper - someone who either serves as a entry opponent to a promotion or for contendership

Roy Nelson, Leonard Garcia (back then), Shogun & Vitor (at this point), Marquardt, Story, Ellenberger, Matt Brown, Lauzon, Jim Miller, while Lamas is entering that territory.
