Even if they still had the option, they would have to match the contract which would include agreeing Ngannou can box whenever he wants without giving up part of his purse. They would never agree to that due to the precedent.
None of the rounds were remotely close to 10-8, they wouldn't even be 10-8 now and back then it would have been absurd to call them 10-8. the issue was people just watching the fight and scoring it as a whole like it was in PRIDE or ONE.
Edit: Fans also tend to give "extrra credit" for doing...
Dagestan is insanely poor and Ireland is one of the richest countries per capita. Not many people in Ireland would be happy with a 12/12 contract while that would be amazing for someone from Dagestan.
WBC would have to sanction the title being on the line, they would never do that due to the effect on their reputation.
Edit: I know it seems weird to say the sanctioning bodies care about their reputation but they will only go so far. They aren't going to sanction a title fight for a guy with...
I was going to say the same thing they have huge crowds cheering for them both. And Waterson would have probably been a huge star if they let her fight at 105, she would have been more successful and looked a lot better at 105 before she had to bulk up to fight at 115.
That is the weirdest movie franchise ever. The first is a serious drama about an undercover cop who is conflicted between his loyaltiy and the woman he fell in love with. and now they have cars flying between buildings.
I thought Cerrone won, it comes down to the first round. While Benson had top position he spent most of the round on the defensive trying not to be submitted.
He probably wouldn't need BJJ against Izzy but he'd need to train it if he were serious about doing MMA. He could do a one off against Izzy and I wouldn't be surprised if the UFC let him because he is a big draw and a draw among people won't don't watch UFC so it would sell big and give the UFC...
Even the best can have one day where they let outside influences throw them off. It happens all the times in sports but other athletes have the benefit of playing all the time so one game isn't as important as one fight is to a fighter.
