Just saw the Whittaker tko...

Brunson drunk ?

Whittakers next fight will be with one of the killers .. should be interesting

 

[QU!K]

Now that Brunson is out of the way maybe Gegard can get a contender match or title shot

 

[P A Z]

Ultimately, DC getting injured led to Conor losing his 145 belt.

 

[bostoiah]

Tf was Brunson thinking

True. Although you have to figure dana was gonna use any excuse to do it he was just waiting for the opportunity

 

[illphillip]

Most fans may not notice or even care, but this whole episode from the UFC is ******* embarrassing.

 

[P A Z]

^^ I think fans noticed. Casuals wont.

205 champ gets injured --> 145 champ stripped --> 145 interim champ gets promoted to champ --> 145 contenders fight for newly vacated interim belt

**** show

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Come to think of it, they're making this interim fight for pettis and Holloway for marketing purposes, when they get to the unification bout how the hell they gonna explain it all?

"Jose Aldo got his real belt back (by not beating Conor) while sitting at home and pettis/Holloway earned the interim title by.... doing... uhhh ... because ".....

Lmao great one

 

[Deleted member 37467]

It'll be even more embarrassing if once we have a Holloway or Pettis vs Aldo fight set, Aldo just pulls out due to injury like he always does.

Also, what do they do if Conor decides he wants to fight Aldo again?

Make Conor/Aldo 2 while we have someone holding an interim belt? Because I know they aren't going to tell Conor "no" if he wants that fight.

Its actually simple. Aldo Edgar fought for the interim title, conor did not defend his belt, Aldo becomes champ...this Pettis max drama is insane tho lol

I was talking about the interim fight ...

Then I was adding to the fact it's even less of a sell when you say Aldo regained the real belt by sitting at home

 

[RustyShackleford]

Yeah, but Aldo didn't want to regain the real belt by sitting at home. The UFC inability to control Connor, and them putting money over integrity caused that.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Uh, however you want to characterize it were both saying the same thing. Y'all get out of your feels and listen to what I'm actually saying lol

It is a sham and it is danas fault, how many times have I said that?

Aldo didn't beat anyone in a real title fight to get the belt. He got the real belt back while he was sitting at home. Fact. Don't let that fact cloud you from the overall point I'm making which is the same as yours

I make one simple comment, I didn't even disagree with you, I was just pointing out the UFC's mishandling of the situation.

But I'm in my feelings? Famb spare me

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

You did disagree breh you said he didn't get the belt back while sitting at home, which he did.. but I digress if you weren't .. were on the same page with the 145 picture

 

[RustyShackleford]

This is my comment

The "yeah" was agree with your comment, which was right above mine.

And I go on to say that Aldo didn't want it that way. Not that he didn't get it that way, but he didn't want things to play out like they did.

So with all due respect, don't misrepresent my words like that.

I want a Conor/Aldo fight part 2 so Conor can wash Aldo a second time and Aldo will have nothing to say

 

[Cashflow]

This is all Josie's fault AGAIN.

If only he wasn't scared of fighting Max, he'd be slotted in the main event for the Undisputed Featherweight Championship. But he was scared so Showtime got the fight. And now here we are!

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Either way, Dana selling that 145 "unification" bout will be fun for him

 

[Cashflow]

It's going to be hilarious because I fully expect McGreGOAT to show up everywhere with both championships.

I can't wait until he officially comments

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It's Conor's fault too though. He has shown virtually no interest in defending his 145 title. I understand if he really believes he's "wiped out the division" that's totally fine

If that's the case and you have no interest in defending then give up the belt and stop holding up the division

There's really not much he can say now, tho.

He was already offered a rematch @ 196 when RDA pulled out and he turned it down after claiming he would fight Conor anytime/anywhere.

This whole situation probably doesn't even sit right w/ Aldo, he knows that belt doesn't belong to him.

Aldo goofed by saying that nonsense

He needed time off from that vicious ko it's good he didn't take that short notice fight

 

[thehealthinspector]

its funny how people bring up that short notice fight without knowing or even mentioning the stipulations

would the fight have been at 145 for the title or 155?

you really thinking conor weighing 169 against nate would have resulted in a 145 lb fight for the title?

why would aldo fight conor without the title at 155?
