With Rumble having fucked off and Jones not being elegible to fight yet, the top 3 guys at Light Heavyweight are now DC, Gustafsson and Glover. My question is: Do you think Phil should be ranked above either Gus or Glover?
I believe a case could be made for him to be ranked as the #2 guy in the world, since he easily beat Glover when the two fought, and that he's been having more success than Alex recently. Granted that Gus fought Rumble and DC back-to-back, which fucked up any momentum that he had from his win over Manuwa.
Don't get me wrong, Phil is not exciting to watch, but he's been very succesful. 21 fights and still hasn't been finished, despite having fought one of the most powerful guys in MMA in Rumble. Beat guys like Gustafsson, Little Nog, Glover, King Mo and Lyoto Machida, even if the last one was a regarded as a robbery.
