Is Barboza the definition of a gate keeper?

[cheesus]

Nah, I'd say Diego or Miller are considered gatekeepers, maybe even Vick. Barboza is still somewhat of a contender, just at the rear end of it. Vick vs Barboza makes sense to determine who is the true current GOAT gatekeeper of LW.

He is better than a gatekeeper and better than Nate.
Just not champion material.
He lost to 2 top LW wrestlers, him being a standup fighter.
Ferg is just better, so was Gaethje.
Better than Johnson, though.
