Yeah but I said "With wins you are supposed to fight people higher in the rankings"

Phil was coming off a loss.The UFC gave him an easier fight than they probably should have,But it was a tune up fight.

Oh I see but lets be honest win over Prado means nothing for someone that was one step closer to title shot. I get what your saying getting a win over Vinny wouldnt help him much for a title shot.
But ranking doesnt exist, media invented that. There is no point system how can you judge them. Look at Sonnen for example

The win over Prado did mean something.A "W" on Davis' record so he will be more promotable coming off a win.Rankings might not be on paper in the UFC but most of the time the number 2 guy on most lists gets the title shot.IDK if you guys know this but I like Vinny,But he needs at least one good win under his belt before he fights anyone in the top 10.Who knows maybe two wins before challenging a top 10 opponent.

VinnyM's win over Prokrajac is better than PhilD's win over prado.  IMO

Before you simply declare Phil Davis the winner, ask yourselves this:

Who has Davis ever beaten that compares with who Forrest has beaten?

Although Davis did outperform Forrest against Rashad.

Obviously Forrest has more wins over tougher opposition. But Phil has looked awesome in all his wins. 

Wagner Prado
Tim Boetsch
Lil Nog
Brian Stann
Alexander Gustafsson

That's a pretty solid list of people, not as good as Forrests but still pretty solid names. Everyone needs that step up in competition and Davis is getting it here and he is gonna make the most of it.
