stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
considering masvidal lost, and thompson won't get another title shot as long as he lives, the winner of rda / lawler seems like a clear number 1 contender fight.

Dana's already said Robbie/RDA winner gets the shot.

I know that's worth nothing but it's a stated intention if nothing else. Woodley has a hosed up shoulder according to Joe Rogan so it's probably a long way off anyway.

Oh, well then. I hope Robbie has still got it but Cerrone is really not a guy he should have dropped a round to imo

cerrone is pretty loving spectacular at his best and dropping a round to him isn't that much of an insult yet. still i wonder about robbie, it seems like he doesn't really care any more.

Who do you guys think is getting the next title shot at welterweight? Seems like there's a lot of directions they could go in

hopefully a prospect like usman or till after they fight a contender. i dont think rda will be a very long fight for him

I would like Ponzischeme to send Perry back to obscurity. But if he wins I'm completely okay with him fighting Colby Covington for the douche lord championship.

Usman vs Condit or Masvidal would be something I could watch

According to Wonderboy's dad no one has talked to them about Till, Wonderboy.has two broken thumbs, and also they're not even interested in fighting Tilll because he hasn't earned it

We believed Dana's lies, again

I actually think Woodley is cool and good and I don't blame him for making his last couple of fights boring by not playing into the hands of a couple of one-trick ponies.

woodley doesnt have an awful fighting style anymore. it will always be bad that he derailed so many good fights.

I think that mainly, hes frustrating to watch because of how smart he fights

its like in the days of WREAM when a generic midwest wrestler squished an exciting fighter. I haaaaaaated when Woodley's hunker against the fence thing worked. Effective but ugly

If you don't match Woodley up against an awkward but dangerous counterstriker (twice) who never makes the first move, or the best BJJ specialist in the division, then he probably wouldn't fight so carefully.

The way nate hosed him up in strikeforce was just glorious though.

It's all well and good to say that Woodley fought smart against Maia, but (like Anderson before him) he utterly refused to engage in any meaningful way even once it was clear Maia had nothing for him. Big difference from the Wonderboy fights, since Thompson could still launch a kick at any moment.

I don't hate Woodley, but it seems pretty obvious by now that his style either leads to brutal KO's (cool) or horrifically plodding decisions (not cool).
