All of the current champions except HEndricks. I think Rory MacDonald will be champion by then.

Bermudez is a poor man's Chad Mendes. I don't see why he can't make a run at the title.

Dennis Bermudez sucks. I'm all up for watching him get his ass kicked by Diego Brandao again.

Dennis Bermudez is an animal. He would wreck Brandao if they rematched.

Dennis Bermudez is an animal against guys who'd lose a Battlegrounds tourney.

Other than his robbery of Max Holloway (and don't say it wasn't because all that means is that you didn't watch the fight) and his submission win over former fighter and current marathon runner Clay Guida he hasn't done ****.

I think he has shown a lot of progression, he hasn't fought any slouches and as for the Holloway fight I can't remember it but that's no way to discredit him. That's those scrotum sucking judges fault.

you don't see why whom you yourself describe as a "poor man's Chad Mendes" couldn't make a run at the title? Even the name brand Chad made two, and didn't come close to cinching it.
