Folks arguing his level of competition hasn't been impressive... fair enough, but where I disagree, is that winning fights for long streaks against anyone in the UFC is really freaking hard. His consistency is very impressive to me, as well as his will and grit. He's a tough out for anyone. I don't see him becoming champ, but he definitely deserves more respect in my opinion. And furthermore, if you all feel he doesn't deserve much praise due to his strength in opposition, that's probably more reason TO give him a ranked opponent.
