Thanks for Commenting!
I never had Barboza up high in the ranking, he never beat anyone to be honest. Being undefeated is a joke these days, people overlook who you beat instead of your record. I like Varner too, I picked him to beat Barboza in my predictions, and he’d be higher in the rankings but his recent skid had him off my radar. His loss to Cochrane was bad. But, I’m happy he’s back, and I think he’s going to be a force in the UFC too!
