You are forever stricken from P4P rankings if you lose to Benson Henderson twice.

mistakinder posted:Frankie also has the record for holding a belt 3 weight classes above his ideal fighting weight, if he did it the other way around like conor he might have ended up being a dominant flyweight/bantamweight double belt holder instead of nearly being beaten to death every first round of a lightweight title fight I feel like Frankie has a huge speed advantage at FTW and LW which would disappear if he went down to BTW. Like I think there's a reason he hasn't moved down further even though those divisions have been around as long as FTW in the UFC.

Frankie "The ANWR" Edgar, so nicknamed for the extremely long and inconclusive fights he's been a part of, is actually bad.

The only fight he's lost in the past three years was against Aldo, who turned in a legit world class performance against him at UFC 200.

Cyborg just responded back that she was hospitalized due to issues with her recent weight cut and doesn't feel she's fully recovered yet. Said she'll fight in March and it sounds like it will be for a title.

On the subject of rankings, Stun Gun jumped up 2 spots this week despite not fighting in over year presumably on the basis of the performance of the other Dong Hyun Kim.

Frankie has only lost to champions or whatever but also I don't know if he's had an impressive win in awhile. Lots of solid wins, but has he even beaten anyone in the top 5/10 in the last few years?

Pretty sure Swanson was at least top ten before their fight. He had won 6 in a row anyway.

Dana also said Conor is taking a 10 month break for his baby being born so I guess we won't be seeing him again until sometime in the Summer.

Tezcatlipoca posted:Pretty sure Swanson was at least top ten before their fight. He had won 6 in a row anyway. Yeah that for sure was an awesome win. If he beats aldo/McGregor/winner of Pettis/Holloway he'd for sure be back in the p4p rankings in my head. But "somewhere between 5-3 in your division" doesn't really easily translate to "top ten across all weight classes"

Yeah I talked about this last night and I kind of like interim belts as a way of absolutely solidifying who the champion has to fight next. No wishy washy match making just you got to fight this guy next, no questions.

If you're mad because someone isn't fighting for 10 months I'd strongly suggest against giving a khabib a fight for a belt.

If you give your Amazon Twitch Prime sub for December to Mighty Mouse he gets like $2 so that's the same as giving him a cut of a PPV buy

Reminder that this is the strategy to get the UFC to voluntarily begin negotiations: saying mean things about the UFC and shaming them. Alternatively they could form a union and legally force them to negotiate, but nope, they'll do that later and only if the UFC asks.

Dana responded on unfiltered to that, something along the lines of Bjork paid 50% of bellators money to the fighters because it's real easy to give 50% of nothing. Throw a few f-bombs in there if you want the authentic version.

Considering she can't really make 140, asking for 138 is probably the best way to get out of a fight with a mutant that will probably cave your skull in and make it look simple.
