I'd say Jacare earned his title shot after going 5-0 in the UFC and having a solid record coming out of StrikeForce.

Notable wins

Moose
Kennedy (beat Bisping)

Okami (title Challenger)

Camozzi (not because he's top 5 but because he took a fight on short notice risking his title shot and finished him in the 1st. Was supposed to fight Yoel then)

Vitor

Boetsch (similar to camozzi, kept busy and took another high risk fight with little to gain and won)

Being 24-4 with only 4 decisions is impressive. He's a former Strikeforce champ and has 4 POTN bonuses in the UFC. Pretty solid resume imo.
At which point do you give him a shot tho? Mousasi is a good win but at that point he wasnt even top 5 and he had recently lost to machida. (No shame in losing to machida)

Luke should've fought him instead of Bisping. Not sure exactly why that didn't happen but I remember at the presser when Mike was doing doing his usual kitty party ("you chose me because you think I'm easy!..") Luke replied something like "no no, the alligator don't speak english". There may be other factor but I don't remember.

Lol at title shots. They should just ask for more money instead. Oh no that's right, they need to sell out arenas to get anything. UFC is a joke. WWE comes to mind now. Sad as I love the sport of MMA.

I know bisping was saying that but im pretty sure Jacare turned down the fight for whatever reason.
