Uno has always been underrated. People just don't know exactly how good of a grappler he really is. His last few fights weren't that hot, that's why people wrote him off. But the guy has some serious skill and it showed.
His takedown defense is what baffled Ishida, he had no answer on the ground either. Plus, Uno's boxing and movement was crisp as ever.
He really came in 100% to this fight and REALLY wanted the win. You can't knock Ishida, the guy tried, he wasn't as aggressive in this fight, and the strikes really kept him back, but he still looked good.
Uno looked like he could definitely take on many of the UFC's LWs. I'd rank him close to the top 10 after that fight, he just looked incredible.
Also, on a side note, I'd slip Alvarez into the top 10. Dude beat some great fighters in great fashion. Same with Kawajiri.
