I think that is more impressive that beating little nog (probably), losing to Bones, and beating Phil Davis, Tito, and rampage in his last five fights.
How are new guys supposed to get title shots if the same old guys keep getting them based on the strength of their whole resume. Sports are alot of "what have you done for me lately", and that is the way it should be. |
They do so by paying their dues like Bisping and taking on high caliber fights. Wake me up when Weidman fights Vitor, Sonnen, Hendo, Rashad, Okami. Yanno guys that actually pose a threat to his skillset?
Weidman needs a win over another big name. Beating a raggedy assed Munoz isn't enough.
