Who else is on that caliber? Wandy or Rampage? No one here is even clear yet how well Wand will do in the UFC. I love the implicit mma math argument you are suggesting in your statement. Rampage isn't on wandy's level because he lost to Wand and shogun.. oh wait but he came to the UFC and beat Chuck / Hendo. Oh but shogun lost to forrest, so maybe he isnt on their level either. Level arent clear yet, and some evidence is in the past years upsets.

The problem is the ufc clearly doesnt equal pride. The orgs had different competitive environments that make it unclear how well someone will do. So far in UFC machida is 3-0, and hasn't lost his streak yet.
