It was a poor way to write it, but thats what I meant. Either way... my point is still valid. How many fights did he have outside of the UFC? (I seriously dont know) It cant have been many though and the first fight he got in the UFC was a top ten ranked HW.
I mean, you cant ignore the fact that he was pampered.
It was 1 fight and then he called dana and said he doesn't want to fuck around anymore and he wants it for real.
I mean throwing him to a top 2 mma bjj expert of the time and probably top 5 all time still isn't really being pampered is it? He had 1? Easy fight in his ufc career and the rest were killers. It's not like he lost to a slouch. I don't understand how he was pampered. There was no one better at the time he could have fought.
Given a title shot pretty early? Yea, I guess but with the state of the heavyweight division at the time it wasn't THAT outrageous. It was in shambles and honestly the heavyweight division was kinda saved by him.
