The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- Cannonier, Imavov, Reyes, Rosas on NOW

It’d be better if dj wanted to move up for the challenge and a chance to be a 2 division champ. For all his accolades, that win would be the only one most would care about on his resumé. I don’t blame tj for trying to chase him. A big fight for him.
 
I don't blame tj for sure, and I don't blame Gsp

At the same time it kinda sucks if people get a belt and don't decide to stick around to defend it. Conor already started it in a way
 
ufc only has themselves to blame. They let fighters do certain things and other beltholders want to pursue similar opportunities and bigger paychecks.
 
Yeah it's definitely true. They don't see it as a problem though

As a fan I don't like the idea that someone challenges and wins a belt and doesn't defend it. Ufc don't care about that though so they don't care
 
the belt is pretty meaningless. basically used to help promote fighters that really cant draw w/o it
ufc aint fooling me with "rankings"
 
belts are meaningless now and don't need to be defended huh... been following this **** for a long time never heard that narrative til conor came around :lol:
 
You guys can blame conor all ya want, you have to understand there's a cause and effect taking place

Dana and the way he runs things and how he compensates the fighters is at the root of all of this including the Conor phenomenon

Regardless of everything, as much as I say I don't like it for the sport, it is definitely more fun with Conor and all of the effects it's had on the sport overall. I wouldn't trade it
 
Yeah, the sport still has a lot of growing pains. I just hope it can thrive more. This year was so lackluster after the blockbuster 2016.

Happy GSP is back for the short term. But the UFC needs to promote/foster their next generation stars. Rehab their title holders and make the title fights high stake. It just seems messed up following the “super fights” made by Conor or the interim title fights to shore up main events.

Every card doesn’t need a title fight if you did a better job of promoting the fighters.
 
I have a feeling we're not seeing Pettis v Porier this week, but I hope I'm wrong.

I also don't think Khabib makes the walk next month against Barbosa
 
Bellator putting on a Heavyweight Tournament.

The fighters will include:
Fedor
Frank Mir
Matt Mitrione
Roy Nelson
Ryan Bader
Rampage Jackon
King Mo
Chael P. Sonnen
 
Conor causing mayhem at Bellator tonight. Dude jumped into the cage and was about to fight. :lol: . Bellator is in Ireland tonight on Spike TV tape delay. One of Conor's teammates fought in the main event

Just read that on ESPN.

Dude was more like going at the ref since they already had a previous altercation...
 
Maybe he trying to get himself banned so he can chill longer and make Khabib fight Tony
 
The money changed him :lol: . he thinks hes the king of the world :lol: :lol: . jumping into another promotion's cage, fighting the ref, slapping the commission, coaching Lobov the GOAT from the first row cageside a few weeks back.
