Did you mean Diego??
If so, I disagree. He beat Paulo Thiago when he was in the 10-15 range ranked WW. Then he beat a fringe top 10 WW in Kampmann. The if he beat a top 5 WW in Ellenberger, he def deserves it

Jorgensen has said a few times that he can't make 125, and that he cuts a lot to make 135 (well, a lot for a guy that small).
Anyway, back on topic. Just gonna do all of the main card, and some selected prelims.
Carlos Condit vs. Georges St-Pierre or Jake Ellenberger/Diego Sanchez winner
Nick Diaz vs. Josh Koscheck or Johny Hendricks
Fabricio Werdum vs. Travis Browne/Chad Griggs winner
Roy Nelson vs. Shane Carwin
Josh Koscheck vs. Nick Diaz or Johny Hendricks
Mike Pierce vs. Rick Story
Renan Barao vs. Dominick Cruz/Urijah Faber winner
Scott Jorgensen vs. Brian Bowles
Ed Herman vs. Ronny Markes (if he beats Aaron Simpson), or Costa Philippou/Court McGee winner
Clifford Starks vs. Michael Kuiper
Dustin Poirier vs. Erik Koch, Chan Sung Jung or Ross Pearson
Alex Caceres vs. Walel Watson/TJ Dillashaw winner
Stephen Thompson vs. DaMarques Johnson/John Maguire winner

I know he is still young but Poirier has got to be one of the most underrated fighters around.
