Retarded dickhead who throws boomerangs at people says fighters should be more respectful

Werdum posted:

"I know, like, when I have a face-off, the guy's touching each other. Why? Just sit, have a fight next day. Why you touch the guy before? Why? Just that respect, that's it man.”

Even Australia agrees there's nothing all that bad about hitting Covington in the face worth a boomerang. In response to the incident, they've chosen to make Colby Covington leave the country.

She should get an immediate rematch since she has been so dominant IMO.

I may be wrong, but every time they book an immediate rematch for a champ that lost brutally, the champ either doesn't make it to the fight (Cain, Weidman) or gets savagely beaten a second time (Andy)

eh, BJ lost more convincingly I guess to edgar, but edgar was closer in the second benson fight.

i think, its was a while ago.

I'm fine with either an immediate rematch against Rose or just her next fight will be for the belt.

Either way, I'm ready for it

You seem to be forgetting when Vitor won the belt by completely destroying Handy's eye and then losing the immediate rematch.

I personally feel like dominance prior to getting knocked out in the first round shouldn't automatically entitle you to a rematch.

Andrade should get the first shot at Rose as far as I'm concerned.

Joana was a dominant champ for a long time, an immediate rematch is fine. It’s not like there’s a logjam if worthy opponents behind her.

Immediate rematches always feel pretty lame to me, like they're trying a re-do or something. I think Andrade earned another title shot based just off the Gadelha fight, but if they go that route then unfortunately there's really no one else in the division that I'd have any interest in watching Joanna fight in the mean time.

Yeah, I love Joanna but a rematch after a first-round blowout is always unappealing, no matter how good the champ was previously

The 115 title picture being wide-open again is a lot more fun

it was adorable how gsp said something really anodyne like 'rear end' or something in the interview afterwards then despite the adrenaline and it being a tough fight caught himself and immediately apologised for swearing :3:

It’s not wide open though. It’s a bunch of people Joanna has already beaten and could likely beat again. Giving Joanna an immediate rematch keeps her well out of title contention for a while if she loses so you don’t end up with like, Rose losing to Andrade, then Joanna getting the belt back from Andrade one fight later, only to have to fight Rose again, and so on.

It’s fine from a matchmaking perspective and also because it will likely be an entertaining fight. If Rose is really the better fighter then she will win again.

I'm not exactly up in arms about Joanna getting an immediate rematch after her run but I think Karolina should have got the shot because she'd beat Rose again and become Karolina Champion.

I'll gladly watch the fight, but the "She won, but I didn't lose. Still my belt" poo poo is always tiresome. Yeah, you've held it for 2 years. No one has been able to take it from you; until now. When it was taken. From you. In the first round.

That's my belt, fight doesn't count.

Yeah a lot of fighters are going to latch onto anything they can because fight psychology is weird and hosed up and varies widely from person to person. This is run of the mill stuff.
