Great points! A guy getting & winning the HW title with a 2-1 record? Now he's 3-1, what a gaudy record! What would Dana say about boxing if a guy with a 2-1 record received a title shot - let alone won it?

The other thing is, guys in UFC can get KO'd brutally (like Chuck Liddell) & if he wins his next fight, he could be close to another title shot.
