Do we still remember this fight? Al Iaquinta got an insane opportunity as the 11th ranked fighter.
What other fighters would you like to see get a chance like this?

Nate diaz and jorge masvidal
Iaquinta was underrated
At the time he had a five fight winstreak which included wins over Kevin Lee, Sanchez, Lauzon and Masdival.
He was a better LW than 1-3 Conrat that’s for sure.
People keep forgetting how exactly that opportunity came about:
UFC 223
Good info!!
I remember that he took the “GOAT” to a decision on short notice.
Dude did better than Conor Dustin and Justin. But then his career spiraled outta control after that Loss
Iaquinta was not even that active too when he was given his Title Shot. He had like 1 fight in 3 years before fighting Khabib, and it was against… Diego Sanchez. He was not fighting because of the money inside the cage vs out.
He was literally inactive in the cage for those years while being an active Licensed Realtor.
