Holloway is a tremendous talent, now on an 11-fight win streak, but the leap of 7 positions may be more emotional that rational – Just because you shot Jesse James, don’t make you Jesse James, quite yet. Joanna Jedrzejczyk, for example, never lost a fight in her career, and has successfully defended her title five times, and is just #7 on the list.
