Sounds like it is a bad situation with the champ being beaten by a man that weighed 3.2 ounces more than him. The champion belts are in ruins. They need to forget the belts and have tournaments and entertaining fights. The belts are meaningless the way they are treating them.
They have devalued the belts so much I don't think any fan even takes the Title holder seriously anymore

belts yeah ... not so much weight classes IMO
well...weight classes not so much....but weight cuts are robbing fighters and fans of them fighting at full potential

I think most guys only show 70% to 90% of their skill in ring...the rest is left in the sauna and on the scale

Just wish guys fought their natural weight and cared less about 5 or 10 lbs

Diminished fighters are a real common thing in MMA...affects lots of fights

yeah I know, I'd just be very surprised to see MMA change before boxing does, and they still use weight classes.

Oh it aint gonna happen IMO

But imagine two guys just say hey we both weigh around 200....see ya on fight night...I think we see the best version of those guys, and it is likely better for their Bodies and Brains even if they get KOed

The only reason Romero wasn't KTFO'ed in the 4th was that he faked getting kicked in the balls.

Can we make a rule that competitors who can’t crack the top 10 of the Monster’s Pool can’t make MMA threads? It’s a waste of everyone’s time.

uh that hit Cup big time I thought...suprised his dick didn't fall out on the canvas
To me it looked like it tagged the upper corner toward the inside of the thigh. His reaction to it was also much more like a guy suffering from exhaustion than it was a guy getting hit in the dick.

maybe...I might be thinking of the JDS fight

Rob was was close so no problem with Dan stopping the action

Yoel was definitely exhausted probably even pre fight

When I saw Romero point at his dick and then immediately raise his hands up the cage and start sucking wind, the first thing I thought of was stoolgate.

You're probably right. It's a lot of work missing weight and then blaming the commission.

no offense but you are coming off as a hater...that is fine, but that is what It feels like

have you heard Big Johns explanation of Stool gate? pretty much absolves Yoel from blame

give him credit for his performance

Saying, I'm a hater would probably be an overstatement but you're certainly entitled to your opinion. I was a big fan of Yoel's until a few years ago when he decided rules didn't apply to him anymore.

have you heard Big Johns explanation of Stool gate?
I have heard Big John's explanation. John is a consummate professional and has always been the type to accept the responsibility for anything that goes sideways under his watch. Mind you, I also heard Yoel's explanation. The one where he thought he should've gotten time to recover after Tim grabbed his gloves so he figured he'd just take himself a little extra break.

Imo Whittaker won in the 10 point for each one round scoring system. In a 'score the full fight' system a la Pride Romero won

I'm a know-it-all, ..... but I'm honestly not sure who won that fight.
  • Whittaker won round 1 for sure
  • Romero won rounds 3 & 5 for sure
  • Romero should have had at least one 10-8 round for sure.
What does that mean?
Probably a draw.. ??????

Quick question

How has Dana never been destroyed by a fighter after all the shit he talks about them?

We can still hope though.
I can hardly believe it now that I think about it.....when he leaves the ufc what are the odds he doesn’t get fukt by a fighter he shit talked at some function or event?
