It's one thing to move up in your prime. Not only is he moving up after years away, but he's moving up after a bad slide and failing to defend the belt in a convincing fashion. Even going so bad for him as to lose to one of his last 2 opponents on the cards.
I'm pretty sure when Anderson moved up it wasn't for a title shot first of all, and he was STILL Middleweight champion. Where's Jones belt?
If you can't see the circumstances here you're just not following MMA close enough, haven't been following long enough, or are new to the sport.
Sounds like MMA passed you by
Oblio
This is not that. I'd put cash money down you just don't know as much about MMA.
