The UFC has been making some poor matchmaking decisions lately. What happened to the best fighting the best? It’s beginning to turn into boxing at this point. Inspired by the petition from tony_has_died to strip Jon Jones of his HW title, we need to draw attention to this issue too.
Yair Rodriguez is on the verge of receiving another FW title shot. He is 1-2 in his last 3 fights, and was finished back to back before defeating an UNRANKED Patricio Pitbull.
Movsar Evloev on the other hand, has a very impressive win streak and has beaten the former BW champ Aljamain Sterling, former title challenger Diego Lopes and more notable ranked opponents. He is receiving the Belal Muhammad treatment, despite proving he is worthy compared to others in title contention.
