Should have been above a fighter like Cody Brundage of course, but the UFC are not that stupid.
Jiri has won 4/5 and all of them got rewarded with a bonus. Holloway and Pereira stole the spotlight in fan discussions,
but Jiri was the one rewarded for his performance by the org and not Alex.
That's stupid to dismiss the former actual champion as somebody "a bit too small".
Chimaev was supposed to fight Costa, who pulled out and then lost to the guy we are talking about here.
The match-up makes more sense than at first glance. It's not like Rob is taking this one lightly, he knows...
Man, I bet his iron chin will disappear into thin air should he drain himself.
The guy should realize that it's a very rare asset being able to eat everything coming his way while finding out the timing.
I think defending the belt in your own division should count for more?
If you think about somebody like Anderson who also had championship fights early on, but didn't lose it.
I mean, that's just crazy. Talk about all the stars aligning for Max here, and well deserved of course!
Any other event is 50K, and usually a POTN will also mean that you weren't part of the FOTN. Then on this one special occasion where it's raised to 300K,
he manages to do both? Turns out the...
- Again, I don't wanna open the curtain too much, but Khamzat has spoken about this publically so I'll use him as the source.That fight is what they were working on.
For whatever reason it couldn't come, he said Ramadan and the weight. Because it would be at 170 lbs for the title. I loved that...
Arman Tsarukyan, he's a tough dude. Crazy wrestling, good striking. Super strong and looks like he's in amazing shape. He's gonna be a test for Charles.
The way I see it, it's gonna be like in the Justin Gaethje, Dustin Poirier and Michael Chandler fights. Where Charles gets hit in the...
This guy became unlikable as soon as he got a title fight. I can't put my finger on it, just something with the general attitude since then.
It sucks because he seemed like a cool guy and him getting the belt was a great story.
My take is that he doesn't blame the USA for anything here, but rather questioning the organization... Right?
I guess them announcing his fight with Usman as a title eliminator, then not giving it while at the same time forcing Edwards to take on Colby
(Edwards wanted somebody on a win streak...
Chimaev's reply to a fan asking why he thinks he's the guy having to go through two title fight-eliminators:
"The only thing I can think of is that it's gross xenophobia. I have nothing against fighting Robert Whittaker, he's a great person, but I should have fought for the belt a long time...
Don't forget: This is the work of the corrupt UFC and their cooperating comissions.
The guy has been treated so many slaps on the wrist, that in Jon's mind it must mean that he's allowed to act however he'd like.
If anyone wanted him actually punished this "would have happened a long time ago"...
I think it's about Jiri putting his front leg there to get chopped up against Pereira. Because Rakic is also kicking a lot while Jiri wants to enter the pocket.
So people are probably thinking it may look the same now, but it absolutely will not. Pereira's combos are intimidating and Rakic is...
It seems like Dalby reached his prime at 37, the fight IQ is actually good now unlike when he wasn't that old.
Cool fight for sure. Gonna be a great card this.
Hey, you guys clearly missed the part where I said "But it looks like it will be one fight per year again", implying the previous inactivity.
I'm aware of his Visa issues and injuries, it's just that this time there's none of that. Just him dragging it out it seems.
It's weird how he's done well in his fights but the results just don't show it.
He clearly beat Ismagulov who looked uncomfortable in there with Guram, I have no idea how those Texas judges saw it differently. Robbed.
Then in his last fight he was again the faster, more active guy and was up...
"So, explain to me as I have missed a few fights, is Israel fighting for the title now because he earned the spot? Because as I understand it Sean Stricklands fight with Do Pleasys was very close,
and they could run it back right now. You know, did Izzy beat a top contender to get this? No? He...
