Well, I think so yeah.

The top contender at 155 is an great striker as well.

So is the interim champ at 170.

The bantamweight champ is more noted as a stand-up guy than anything else, so as the interim champ.

As they say, all fight starts at a stand-up. Especially against Machida, if you can't control distance, you're grappling would mean shit.
