You're not just top-10 UFC because you suck.
I wouldn't argue that Anderson Silva is the best pound-for-pound fighter in MMA.
Anyone in the UFC, that should be your goal, to get the UFC belt and to fight for that title.
If Amanda Nunes truly wants an opportunity at the 145-lb. belt, a win against any ranked contender in that division would help establish her back in a weight class she left before fighting me.
Middleweight is the best division in the UFC, in MMA in my opinion.
I don't mind Ryan Bader thinking he deserves a title shot.
Nick Diaz is in the top five welterweights of all time in my eyes. Georges St-Pierre is the number one welterweight in my eyes.
I don't even know who Michael Chandler is.
As far as Nurmagomedov, I just don't get how you become the No. 1 contender without actually fighting guys who are ranked in the top 10. It kind of baffles me.
I don't care where I am in the rankings or anything like that - I just want a UFC belt.
Can anyone tell me what Jon Jones was ranked when he fought for the UFC title? No one knows. I believe, in that aspect, it was easier to get fights back then. It wasn't, 'What's this guy ranked?' You fought, made your money, and went home.
Who's the best MMA fighter of all times? I always left that for fans to decide.
You look at the top five right now and see guys like Kelvin Gastelum, who I've beaten, Carlos Condit, who I've beaten, Robbie Lawler, who I've beaten. How are those guys more notable than I am, and I'm the champion of the world?
Considering myself as a true number one in the UFC, I think Cain Velasquez is the number two.
