I remember a time WB was seen as one of the most exciting welter weights in mma.. What happened?
From the dude with a 3 month old join date, sure, cool.
You can be a technical striker and not be boring as fuck. Wonderboy is the stand up version of Jon Fitch (not that somebody as new to these forums as you would know who that is). A twenty five minute long fight with less than 150 strikes landed, with less than a minute of grappling, including clinches, is boring no matter how you look at it. That’s 6 strikes landed a minute between the two of them, with only one of them being a knock down. Maybe it was exciting to somebody new like you who waited in anticipation thinking something would actually happen, but us ‘casuals’ who have seen too many fights like this playout exactly the way this one did knew not to get excited. You probably go out to bars and get excited just thinking about talking to girls and what might happen if you ever had the balls to actually do it. Anticipation isn’t action, especially when it doesn’t culminate to anything.

to me this fight showed till can at least go 5 rounds and strike if he has to. he doesnt need an early stoppage to beat a top ranked guy. big step up in competition to go from cerrone whos a small 170er (and washed up) to the #1 contender and do 25 minutes of striking with him.Wboy vs Woodley 1 = draw
Wboy vs Woodley 2 = Wboy (very close fight)
Wboy vs Till = Till no controversy for me in this one and all recent fights from Wboy very low activity and kinda meh
So who did he stick his fingers up to?

sure, he missed weight but i was kinda impressed how good he looked despite having to weigh in under 188 or whatever it was, i figured he was gonna gas sooner or later since he was dehydrated up until this morning.
he def has a shot to beat woodley, no doubt
i agree, but it shed some more light on his skills and where he stacks upHe did well, pushed the pace, was aggressive.. had the center he tried to put Wboy away at best as he could, did more then Wboy in my eyes.
The win does have a * to it just because of the weight shenanigans you can't be take seriously if you screw that much up... if we are legit here this fight wasn't at WW and it shouldn't affect the rankings for WW.
