ahh back to the rankings like the ufc is really going to put hector in a number 1 contender spot on the heels of beating woodley who has never been seen as the guy has failed at every major hurdle and has no titles.
I am talking in reality here, Woodley has lost all 3 of his biggest highest profile fights 2 of which to opponents hector destroyed. The skinny on him is that he's a jobber to the upper ech.If Lombard beats him in the court of public opinion it does little cuz its backward booking for reasons I already stated above. Woodley is also 2 fights removed from an unofficial mock title eliminator loss. You can use rankings all you like, this win has less impact than shields, its never a good look when you way up a win and you just say that fight just keeps him in the win column as oppose to guarantees him a titleshot
ps this fight will tell us who Woodley is not where Lombard is headed hence why its a waste of time.
For the most part, rankings are a good tool and make sense.

with your 'but rankings..', acting as if rankings are completely meaningless.
Woodley is not very consistent, but he's still beaten some top fighters. To say he's failed
every major hurdle is just dumb, Condit was a major hurdle and he passed, DHK was a solid hurdle (top 10 fighter) and he passed.
You still haven't answered who you would have Lombard face? Naming a fighter (MacDonald) who has fight lined up is not going to cut it.
