Big difference in the sense that Kimbo is (was) EliteXC while anybody following UFC recognizes that the HW division is their weakest division and while Couture is a marketable name, after him it's pretty dry. If Brock were in any other weight division in the UFC, even with his "name" he wouldn't be getting a shot this quick. Of the young guys making a push to improve that division Brock is the best draw right now.
Earned it, no, a more legitmate MMA fighter than Kimbo right now, definitely. As big of a role in the company as Kimbo, not even close.
