More evidence that UFC rankings are meaningless. McRapist is ranked #6 in a weight class with an absentee champion, so it's obvious that Dana is chasing the PPVs by bypassing fights to clarify the top of the division rankings by giving these guys their threepete.
And I'll bet my favorite coon dog that if Poirier beats him again, McRapist will retire from MMA. Again. Hopefully forever this time.
