    He should been in the ufc by now. He beats islam 9 out of 10 times. Only reason he is in Bellatrix is bc islam has not defended his belt at all except when he lost it to Volk. He should have moved up like he was told too so Usman could come to the UFC and rule the lightweight division like he has been in Bellator. UFC Lightweight division has gotten stale and has not moved. The top 5 guys have been battling it out for the belt the last 6 years now. They either need to move up in weight or retire and let the division open up so some new talent can get in there and show what they got. Maybe we need a new tuf series with a bunch of lightweights.
