This was a long sought after matchup that took forever to happen. The UFC facilitated a lot of fans by putting this fight together. At the end of the day it's very difficult to match fighter against fighter based on some kind of ranking system alone because it's not 100% about rank, it's about strengths and weaknesses of fighters and fighting styles that makes great fights. A 10th ranking guy might easily have the right tools to beat the #1 guy, but might be dominated by #2-#9. It's just not that simple that number 1 and 2 are simply the best and thats that...
