He did lose to Salido, but I guess Salido didn't make 126 and never fought there again so we can't count that. The Russell Jr fight was brilliant. Especially considering where Gary is considerded now.

Uchiyama was the man at 130 but had been beaten just prior to Loma moving to 130 by Corrales, you could argue Corrales should have been considered the man at 130, or Salido who should have got the nod over Martinez in the rematch and Vargas, both were ruled draws. Loma iced Martinez tho. Vargas got beaten by Berchelt and Corrales got beaten by Machado, Loma was still at 130 while these 2 were present.

Now we have Mikey at 135. Let's hope it happens.

Loma's record is fantastic tho.
