If Healy is such a step down, why was he scheduled to fight Gil then? Clearly Gil figured he was a good enough fighter when he signed the initial contract.
I just think that if a guy pulls out of a fight with an injury, then starts looking for the same level of competition a win would have earned him, that its unfair to those who actually trained and fought. |
Who else was there for him to fight in Strikeforce at the time? I'm not necessarily saying he should receive an immediate title shot, and until he fights a top-level UFC LW, he very well may be overrated. But he should fight a UFC contender, not Pat Healy; who was just the best of the rest in SF's LW division.
