In order for me to get really excited about a title fight I need to believe that the fight involves the best fighter in the division, whether he's the champion or not. With Strickland vs DDP I know that I'm watching a title fight that doesn't feature the best guy in the division (that would be Izzy) and it arguably doesn't even feature the 2nd best guy (in my opinion that would be Khamzat). I love Strickland but everyone knows he pulled off the second greatest fluke in MMA history and DDP is still a question mark in my eyes. In a perfect world we would be seeing Izzy vs Khamzat for the title and DDP vs Sean would be like a co-main as a title eliminator. I'll be watching Saturday but I won't lie to you and say that I'm excited or that I think this fight means anything more than just a contest between two good fighters.
