With so many strong grapplers in the division it might be a hard shot to the top of the division. He's got guys like Burns, Colby, Belal, Shavkat etc ahead of the him and he can't avoid them all. There's some exciting match ups with strikers in his division ahead of him as well though. Let's see what the match makers do.
