That's because Glover is 10x better then you think he is

I agree with all of OUs picks.

Danny Castillo take a bow.

Jones is going to give Glover the beating of his life.

Good prelim, the last two fights were nuts.

This guy gets it!

Anthony Johnson is a contender.

He's come a long way since his first stint in the UFC.  I think he is at a minimum two wins away from a title shot.  To me, Davis was very overrated, not a true top ten fighter today but one there by default of not having the L's on his record and guys like Machida (who beat him) and Belfort not bumping him down by being at LHW.  I'd like to see AJ fight Glover or Shogun, if he wins he would break into the top ten, then be in a position for a top level fight for the chance at a title shot.

Phil and AJ are both top 10 guys.

I thought AJ looked awesome and was a very underrated live dog against Phil Davis but no people are way over rating him. I hear people saying give him a title shot and crap like that. He isn't there yet.

He's 3rd in line now after Gus and Cormier.

Maybe but I don't get the huge jump.
