- Three upcoming title fights; three unworthy opponents. No disrespect to the talents of Chael Sonnen, Frankie Edgar or
NateNick Diaz, but the UFC's "No. 1 contender status" is in serious need of redefinition. All three men are coming off losses while strong candidates wait in the wings, especially the likes of Johny Hendricks.
Don't get me wrong, I like seeing a Diaz brother get beat up as much as the next guy, but who's in charge of the UFC? GSP, or Dana White? To pander to the champion just because he doesn't like Diaz discredits the concept of a No. 1 contender and completely delegitimizes UFC gold. Fighters who make their case should get their shot, no one else.

| I agree although I'm interested in the fights. Someone who's coming off a loss shouldn't be getting a title shot unless they were a champion who'd just lost the belt. | |
