That's why he got a title fight at Lightweight, because he literally would not say no to Dana White and the UFC, no matter who or what they put in front him.

I don't think it really changes anything I said there.
A combination of layoff, poor match making, and his own arrogance led him to be overrated.
And I didn't even mention...he never successfully defended any title that he won in the UFC. He never successfully defended the Featherweight title, and never successfully defended his Lightweight title. To me alone that makes him overrated - much harder to continually defend a title than it is to win it.
So yeah his career peaked with the win against Aldo and he was overrated after that.
