During the weigh-ins I saw that Shogun is still ranked #9, even though he hasn't had a ranked win since Machida almost 4 years ago and his only other ranked win in the company is Chuck. Dan's on a 3 fight losing streak and is still #6, lil Nog is basically a part-time fighter, Bader's still ranked, they've got guys who aren't even in the division anymore and Chael, who has like 1 career win at 205 and is leaving after Wand. It looks really bad.
What the hell happened? Just a few years ago it was maybe the most stacked with dangerous guys who didn't make the top 10 and now they have to get creative to put 10 names on there. How has nobody come up to take the place of guys from a few years ago? Jones thought it was unfair that Gus didn't have a tougher road to a rematch but it's not like they have many guys to chose from.
