Stealth Tiger posted:Well I guess Mighty Mouse finally learned his lesson by trying to play hardball with Ol' Dana. Yup. Eating a little bit high on the hog there, and what do you get to show for it? That's right, a really easy fight where he will earn the same amount of money he always does anyway. Is talking about an active UFC champion really a “derail” in the UFC thread

I'm still not exactly sure why people are against Mighty Mouse for not taking a fight with his title on the line against a larger opponent that stands to lose nothing and that management clearly wants that opponent to win and reduce his earning potential. That's dumb as gently caress and no one should do that.

yeah dunno why people would want him to take on the best possible guy who is also a champ in the biggest possible fight lol. instead we get 2 rematches for guys who got cleanly finished. uhhhh yeah his company wants to reduce his earning potential thats mainly derived from his ability to earn them money

Mighty Moose is probably just going to get knocked the gently caress out one day by someone when he's just lost a step due to age. TJ might be able beat him in a straight up fight now but DJ don't want none.

Cody flattened TJ late in the first round and I'm pretty sure TJ was essentially saved by the bell. I mean, he scored his own knockout early the next round, but still. Both guys showed that they could absolutely beat the other.

He knocked TJ down and landed one clean punch before TJ started defending and began fighting his way back up to his feet. It was close to the bell and Cody hits hard, but it was nowhere near definitive or 'saved by the bell'.

TJ was in trouble but not "seconds from being stopped" because Garbrandt didnt push him and TJ spent the rest of the round blocking/moving way more. TJ also had better footwork and methods to finish the fight than Cody did. The headkicks by TJ were pretty effective.

What’s the argument for TJ being a huge draw besides “lol” or “you’re retarded”?

El Roncho posted:What’s the argument for TJ being a huge draw besides “lol” or “you’re retarded”? I guess the argument is that a superfight between two tiny punchmans that no one cares about is more marketable/profitable than a fight with a tiny champ and some random tiny punchman. I mean, I care. But who the gently caress knows what will sell. Neither of the J’s seems to be a draw on their own as far as I can tell.

The Automator posted:so we're giving immediate rematches to people who might win now? "ah man yeah he lost but he might have won so lets run it back" UFC has been doing needless rematches for a long time. Look at how quickly the Cain/JDS trilogy happened.

rewatching stipe vs ngannou, it was a really great performance. once ngannou got tired out and was still throwing sloppy lead uppercuts and poo poo Stipe was blasting him with nice straights and overhands

They also give immediate rematches partly based on how fun the fight was. Cody vs TJ was a fun fight after a bunch of Funke-riddled trash talk. When that rematch was booked, the only other possible fight (staying within 135) was TJ vs Assuncao 3: also a rematch, but of a less-fun fight. None of the JDS-Cain fights were immediate rematches. The third, even if rushed, was also a rematch between two of the best heavyweights ever, who had only lost to each other, and who had brutalized each other in turn.

Gotta think Moraes will be getting the winner of Garbrandt/Dillashaw 2. Either would be great.
