Well, not quite, as he doesn't need a LW win...but if your point was that he's shouldn't need to earn anything to move up and face Bendo, you're probably right.

Do you think dana would make Georges jump through a hoop to face Anderson at 185, or make Anderson jump through one to face Jones? Do you think Jones would have to "earn" a shot at Velasquez if he wanted to move up?

I still think Aldo is getting shafted here.

I'm not in favor of champs dictating title shots at all...but I think the playing field has been messed with so much, it's just goofy.
