We need to see Muniz, Imamvov, Borralho, Rodrigues, Petrosyan matched against some bigger names now.
There is this really irritating pattern with UFC rankings and match making.
Alex is champ, Izzy is the clear 1b to him. Cannonier loses an awful fight to Izzy, also has a loss to Rob, so let’s match him up against an overrated Strickland who legit just got slept by Alex.
Who wins here? Bad fight, but let’s say Jared or Sean had a big W here tonight, what is this for? We want them to hold ranking and fight Rob next? I just don’t understand the matchmaking.
Imavov vs Gastelum… plain stupid. A win does what exactly? Most think that Kelvin is well past his best, so this is lose/lose for him. Why not do Imavov vs Strickland, and Muniz vs Cannonier? One big win from the prospect, and now they are in the title picture.
Instead… we are sat here, waiting for the predictable loss that Robocop or Muniz will have, and hey, hype train stopped…
I understand not “rushing” fighters, but if there was ever a division where the top 4 and 5 are barely better than the guy in Rank 15, it’s Middleweight.
Get us some new blood… please!
