But I don't think Dana would fathom putting him in a fight he could conceivably lose before he gets his title shot.

That is more a factor of Ronda building a throne of arms and livers and less about a healthy division. Sure Ronda owns but I think people are going to see a lot more competitive fights from 115.

It will be interesting to see where the first strawweight women's champion ends up as a draw. Even if she pulls in just a few more buys than Demetrious Johnson that's a huge deal seeing as how Mighty Mouse has been on free TV for loving EVER and still only did ~100k buys on his first solo PPV card.

Nah he's not but he is the easiest fight for Conor in the current top featherweight rankings.

No doubt, but given the others in the top 5, Poirier is the best match-up Conor could have hoped for. Stylistically, at any rate.

Seriously, watch this whole thing, it's worth it for Cormier's impression of Jones alone.

He's like loving Cell, only he adopts the worst parts of each fighter's personality that he beats. He's like the worst of rampage and rashad and chael combined.

Counterpoint - Hardy was supposed to lose to Swick, Marcus Davis got stuck against all sorts of people he had zero chance against, also Gomi got matched up with all sorts of fighters who were actually good. Zuffa will push regionally popular dudes to the top of the card, but they don't seem very interested at all in protecting them from losses.

I don't really know but I'm pretty sure 115 is a much better division talent wise and fight quality wise. Like women's 115 is to women's 135 what men's 170 is to men's 205/265.

there was Dana Blog around one of Aldo's title defenses where Ed Soares is saying that Anderson wants a belt with the date on it for every successful title defense

why would a champion get a new belt after each win? that's silly.

Leslie Smith has had some really good fights as the honorary Diaz sister, except she's lovely. Tecia Torres vs. Thugrose was rad. Michelle Waterson vs. Jessica Penne had one of the best grapplefights ever. Lauren Murphy has had a few cool fights where she gets beaten on by a larger, fitter, stronger opponent before figuring out how to win later on. She's like a lady version of Big Nog, plus she's a reformed heroin addict.

I started off not liking Jones because he was beating some of my favorite fighters like Shogun and Machida but I've learned to tolerate him by focusing on what he does in the cage. I think it's funny sometimes the amount of hate he gets online like the guy that wanted him arrested for the brawl earlier but I understand it cause he's a dweeb.

I wish there were more fighters like Jones because it's more fun to root against someone than for them in this sport.

It seems like more guys are starting to pick up on the concept of "character" fight promotion and I can't say that I hate it. It might get annoying if sub-Dagestani tier fighters start cutting calculated promos like Chael though.

I finally read about JBJ / DC and jesus gently caress what the gently caress is Jon Jones the most awkward motherfucker in MMA? Or is he just really awkward and utterly oblivious about it? Did he really imply he was going to prison-rape DC? :psyduck:

I'm thinking now he really was trolling people on Instagram when his cell phone got "stolen" because he has no self-awareness.

He's like a homeschooled kid who doesn't quite know how human interaction is supposed to work. Everything he says that isn't part of the humble martial arts role model charade is really stilted and strange.

He's also a complete rear end in a top hat, for example he called the tiny media dude that he shoved a bitch (paraphrased) live and on stage just the other day.
