New Rule: when the champ is out, or at the UFC's discretion, everyone in the division gets an Interim Belt and they battle it out from there

"The current 19-time, defending, unified, lineal, Interim Champion of the world..."

For sure you can argue that it's lame for someone like Holland to even give dumb assholes like that the time of day. But I appreciate how he went about this one. Alpha'ed the shit out of him and sent him on his way humiliated. And without even giving the guy anything to hold on to after effortlessly annihilating him in the grappling. Didn't give him any respect by going "okay so we can be cool now", and didn't go way overboard with a violent assault like Josh Neer and end up looking like a jailhouse bully piece of shit. Just left the guy with nothing to take away except a lesson that will follow him for years. I know if that guy was one of my mates, I sure as hell would never let him forget about it. :smile:

The best part is that he bought him a bus ticket. ?

Just read an article about Cormier's opinion on HW title matchmaking where he's shilling hard for the UFC like always, and a random troll in the comments referred to him as "Dana Black." Beautiful .:smile:

does a Frankie Edgar signed rutgers wrestling shirt have any value? It's been in my closet for like 10 years and at this point I kind of just want to wash the shirt so I can wear it

I like Strickland's fighting style. If he's just going to pick away at them and win a decision, that's on them to stop him. If I was a fighter, I'd want a low-risk, low-damage, effective fighting style. And that's what he has.

I didn't watch it at all. :smile:

Fight cards are Sunday afternoon here. I got too lazy in the morning and got caught up running errands later. But I was pleased to hear/read that he just outsparred him. I'm happy with that. If I was a fighter, my style would be oriented around taking minimal damage while winning rounds, so I can't hate.

I never thought I would see Derrick Lewis quoted as a Stoic, but …
