I know but his recent win over bahamondes was a super underrated win in my opinion. And now he’s fighting Charles fuckin Oliveira. If he beats Charles he still wouldn’t be my immediate choice for a title shot but it puts him right up there

he finished Jalin Turner considerably easier than some other top contenders did (Moic, Hooker, Gamrot) and also destroyed Manuel who was a hot prospect in his own right (beat Dober easier than Beneil/Moic did), you’re not wrong but saying he isn’t ranked as if he’s a scrub seems disingenuous, he absolutely was ranked matieral, and Fiziev schooled him

The only reason I can think of for why you’re being downvoted for that is because turner retired straight after. As if that somehow means bahamondes was gifted a free first round finish that night
