I wasn't a fan of how Rogan handled that.
A lot of people like to pick on Schaub, but Schaub is far from the only guy who Rogan's comments could apply to.
I doubt Rogan would treat Demian Maia the way he treated Schaub.
Title fights:
Forrest Griffin really did beat Rampage
King Mo really did beat Mousasi
GSP really did beat Hendricks
Frankie Edgar really did beat BJ the first time
Ben Henderson really did beat Frankie both times
I'd like to see Lyoto Machida and Anderson Silva fight each other bare-knuckled in gis. That'd be awesome.
But a gi division won't help the UFC be more interesting to the average fan.
If he beats Dustin my respect for him will go up slightly.
But until he beats more top-5 competition and earns a title shot, he'll be just another fighter known more for his personality than his accomplishments.
If there's a substantial break between the classes, like a morning class and a night class, then it makes sense.
But back to back classes... I guess you really have to hate sweaty gi's to even bother.
