I know, it's not even like he was a dominant champ at 125 lol. He literally didn't defend his title against any 125ers (Dillashaw is not a 125 pounder) and he won the title in a dubious decision. Mighty Mouse got traded right after otherwise he probably would have just took the title right back.
If Triple C was not a wrestler with a medal people wouldn't think nearly as high of him. He didn't defend his title against any of the contenders at 125 and only beat 2 or 3 guys at 135 if you want to give him credit for Dilashaw. Two of those guys are basically retired or should be.
