Really? My memory must be garbage if that's the case. I thought it was usually just in fights that were a draw, the one fighter retires or if the losing guy is like a legend and or it's their hometown. Do they really interview both guys after every title fight?
Edit: ok I wasn't remembering...
I wouldn't say ducking, I'd call it umm... Strategically avoiding... If they throw some crazy number at him for the Aspinall fight, let's say $20 million, you can guarantee he'd take the fight. Why take that fight if he could fight Stipe and Pereira for likely even more than they'd pay him to...
Izzy being content with catching Pereira in their 4th fight and saying the saga is over should say it all. Also Dana White being so adamant on wanting Pereira to go up to 205 and leave Izzy alone lol.
I think as other people have stated in the past that he's trying to imitate Conor. He's saying things like he will be the highest paid athlete on the planet in 2025 and even before fighting Volk was talking like both Volk and Max were has beens. He's trying to be the big man and say that the...
People saying Jones wanted Ngannou lol. All I heard from Jones before Ngannou left was "Stipe, Stipe, Stipe" that and wanting more money. For Ngannou he intentionally priced himself out of the fight. Then as soon as Ngannou leaves, all the sudden he's all about that fight and he's following...
For those talking about offers, Jones is clearly dictating who he is fighting, not the UFC lol. The UFC doesn't care about Jones vs Stipe but Jones does and they care about Jones since he is one of the few stars they have right now. If Jones says he wants Pereira and Pereira agrees they will...
I wonder how he will handle a loss, he seems to be totally out to lunch. Even before he became champ he was talking like he was the GOAT. I'm all for confidence, it's a must have in MMA but he seems to have Rousey levels of delusion. There's a good chance he could just never recover after the...
The casuals posting on the ESPN post like the Alex fight but in the other 2 posts everybody knows what's up. If Jones can't fight old Stipe he'd rather face another guy he could potentially dominate in the grappling like he did to Gane.
Pereira could be interesting if I was 100% sure it wouldn't go like the Gane fight. I guess that'd be the closes thing we could get to Jones vs rumble. Aspinall is more proven at HW and in the grappling department tho so have to pick him.
I mean, I wouldn't mind a rematch between Arman and Oliveira in a 5 rder. Both beat Dariush but Oliveira did it when Dariush was on an 8 fight win streak. Arman vs Oliveira was a close fight coming down to what was scored higher, the tight choke from Oliveira or Arman landing more strikes...
I feel like the BMF should be a title given out at the end of each year. BMF of 2023, BMF of 2024. With the way it is now, it's only a matter of time before somebody wins the BMF belt by lay and pray.
