Problem is that the UFC wants Jon vs Stipe and that means that is what will happen.
Tom should actually fight Gane and be sure to KO him dead. Do it better than Jon. Then call for Jon and Stipe to both agree to fight him as either a) replacement in case either one pulls out of their fight...
Khamzat was 10-0. Pereira has more losses then Khamzat had fights. He is a .700 fighter 44 fights in to his career. He is a guy that is right where he is supposed to be IMO. Once he gets to the top 10 his fights will not be what they are now. He is much better off being exciting in non top...
Ponzi is a WW has little meaning in the MW division. Petroski isn't ranked by the UFC and Fight Matrix has him at #66 in the world. So where does that mean Michel should be? He is exciting because he is facing low level fighters. Look at Khamzat and his ability to SMESH Er'ry body. That...
Can you explain how they calculate their rankings? I find it odd Royce Gracie is ranked so high since he only had 3 fights at HW according to his Tapology.
Lesnar has 1/3 the number of wins and yet 3x the number of points Tom Aspinall has?
I disagree with your assessment of the threat Tom poses to Jon. Jones seems to agree as well. Tom is a legit HW at 6"5" tall, 261 lbs, 78" reach. He has good wrestling and TDD, BJJ, excellent striking and actual HW power. Jon had a lot of trouble with Alex Gustafson who is 6"5" with 79"...
I get that Jon wants money.
I just don't get why Jon should be able to walk around with the HW belt and talk about fighting anyone and everyone EXCEPT the guy holding the Interim HW title. Is Jon vs Alex really a fight that should be considered for the HW title. If we are going to just make...
The only fighters who are OBLIGED to fight a specific opponent is a Champion against the number 1 contender. Sometimes the #1 contender is not clear with multiple possibilities or not readily available. There is no more clear #1 contender then someone holding an Interim Title and Tom is...
How does it matter to you or me how many other people watch? More people would watch Trump vs Biden in a cage fight but that doesn't mean it should be for the UFC HW title.
If Jon wants to be the UFC HW Champion he is obliged to fight the Interim UFC HW Champion. If he wants to vacate that...
Fights get negotiated first and then contracts are written. If DW says "Hey Jon we want you to unify the belts with Aspinall" and Jon replies "Nope I still want Stipe and only Stipe." then:
1) that is a fight option Ducked yet no contract is written. Not saying that actually happened but...
Two things:
1) you do not have any direct knowledge of what was and wasn't offered to Jones "Contractually"
2) Hypothetical scenario. If the UFC says to Jon "We want you to fight Aspinall and unify the belts" and he says "fuck that I ain't fighting Aspinall." then no written contract means Jon...
Only fighters that can "Duck" are champions. No fighter is obliged to fight another. However a champion is obliged to fight the number 1 contender. There is no more clear #1 contender then someone holding an Interim Title.
Yes it is when you hold what you claim to be an Undisputed Title yet...
Unified? Against what UFC FW champion did he Unify? There was no UFC FW division and Aldo was given the UFC title with the WEC being absorbed by the UFC.
