Yo, listen up! Let me tell you why 2019 was the last great year of MMA fighting. First off, we had some major matchups that got everybody hyped up. Remember when Israel Adesanya and Kelvin Gastelum went toe-to-toe in a battle for the interim middleweight title? That fight was straight fire, man. And let's not forget about the epic rematch between Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier for the heavyweight title. That fight had everything - heart, skill, and drama.
But it wasn't just the big fights that made 2019 so great. We had some seriously talented fighters come up and make a name for themselves. Look at Jorge Masvidal, for example. He had an incredible year, knocking out Darren Till, Ben Askren, and then winning the BMF belt against Nate Diaz. And then there's Israel Adesanya, who became the undisputed middleweight champion after a dominant performance against Robert Whittaker.
But here's the thing, since then, things just haven't been the same. We've had some great fights, no doubt, but they just haven't had that same energy and excitement. The COVID-19 pandemic messed up the schedules, and some of the fighters just haven't been performing at the same level. Plus, some of the big names have either retired or moved on to other things.
So, while we're always hopeful for more epic fights and incredible performances, 2019 was truly the last year where everything just came together perfectly in the world of MMA.
