For a title shot? Defending champion who lost his belt to Ngannou > beating Tybura. And was ranked ahead when the fight was made. Pretty standard actually.7-1 or 0-1, which is better you weasel?
It'll never not be funny how you guys justify Tom's own title shot he never deserved and only got because the UFC oddly didn't do Stipe/Pav as was the existing official backup if Jon got injured like he did. And Tom only got it once they decided to axe Stipe too because Jon had recently beaten Gane, Pav had recently beaten Blaydes, and Volkov had just fought. That really left only Tom for the completely lucky break in a completely unusual situation to leapfrog his way into a title fight instead of having the other contender fight(s) he needed at the time before a title shot.
As is basically what's happened regardless now. Karma can be funny like that.
