If a faded version Charles Martin, taking the fight on a very shot notice gave him a tough run for his money, we can`t really say Anderson is ready for top 10 guys.
I also think guys like Kabayel, Wallin would be too much for him right now.
Anderson should keep on fighting gatekeepers, Takam is ideal fight, old Takam gives him rounds.
No need to rush him against hungry undefeated guys like Kossobutskiy, he could get hurt badly.

Otto Wallin would be a good match up.
I think you're overestimating Kabayel, I'd be very disappointed if Anderson couldn't handle him fifteen fights in. I think Wallin would pose more problems but still a fight I'd expect Anderson to win albeit far more narrowly.
I think Ortiz or Takam would be good fights next. They must see something in Kossobutskiy that they like because that's a tough matchup.
