Hendricks 1-0 at middleweight, GSP 0-0 at middlweight. It is preposterous that an active fighter who's winning is facing mandatory competition, while inactive fighter with no wins gets a direct shot at the title. This thought just crossed my mind yesterday as I was rewatching Hendricks-Costa and realizing it was on the same card as Bisping-GSP. Hilarious how ranking system and the body of work matters in one case and does not matter in other. I understand this sport isn't about meritocracy, but given the risks these guys take, it should completely be.
