It's funny seeing the people who are crying from the very first wing, but I think my favorites are those who are wholly unphased until they get to Da Bomb, and then find themselves suddenly turned inside out. I'm sure there's a research team involved for the questions, but I wish I could be...
Huge Max fan, but I kinda see it this way, too. Hoping for a different outcome, but not seeing it go any other way but Max taking some serious shots -- win or lose.
Exactly, though he's still considered one of (if not the) best heavyweights in UFC history. So, the fight to make is Jon Jones vs. the established name, who is a pretty accomplished former champion, rather than Stipe vs. well... who? I mean, we know who they are, but I don't really care enough...
Stipe / Jones is the draw. Stipe is also not a company man -- he has no problem bucking the system or calling out BS, which I'm sure Dana doesn't want to have to deal with if Stipe were to win the (interim) championship. It's also not worth risking Stipe losing the backup fight and then having...
I'm not sure where I read a poster say that the McGregor thing was "implied" but kind of ambiguous. However, this doesn't leave many lines to have to read between (from ESPN):
"According to the USADA release, the relationship between the two parties was rendered "untenable" due to the...
No way does Gordon Ryan want any part of the UFC. Sure, he could have his first couple opponents cherry picked for easy wins to make him look good and build him up for casuals, but his game is grappling, not getting punched in the face. Just like every elite-level BJJ guy, it will eventually...
True, but he sure did willingly get his mileage out of the "Former UFC LHW Champion" honorific for the rest of his career.
I don't care how anyone sees Bisping's win over Rockhold -- Luke got KTFO. Bisping was the legit champion and no amount of butthurt is going to change that. As you state...
Barring a technicality like an injury stoppage (the aforementioned Vitor Belfort vs. Randy fight, being one prime example), as far as I'm concerned if one fighter beats the champion in the ring, then they are the legitimate champion. I don't have to like them, and it doesn't matter how much of...
This. There wasn't a person in that Octagon when Bruce Buffer started reading the results who thought GSP won that fight. You can see the surprise on everyone's faces when GSP is announced as the winner.
