I'm not loyal to anything, General... except the dream.
The most Holly Holm moment in history is either her dropping Valentina and doing absolutely nothing to follow up or recreate it over five rounds, or her almost getting knocked loopy by a gassed Ronda Rousey.

how. the gently caress is shogun on a really loving respectable 3 fight streak (lil nog, beastin, weidman's friend)?

well, if shogun or that smith dude get a quick ko and can safely do a quick turn around, the gus fight would be good.

Covington apparently won't (or can't) fight for the title on the timeframe the UFC wants.

they should strip covington and then cut him from the roster completely.

can't wait to see how till's tentative technical striking will match up with woodley's unique style. after we find out, just close down the welterweight division for 6 months. completely strip it. like it never existed. then open it again and have a ww tournament and we'll start all over.

ww since lawler's reign has been as tragic as mark hunt's childhood and way less violent.

Cyborg ducking and trying to wrangle circumstances to be her absolute benefit has been her game forever, it's really weird to because she could still probably comfortably beat pretty much everyone.

WW is a dumpster fire. If the report is true they want to strip an interim belt off a guy because he won’t fight on a three month turnaround from going five rounds with RDA and want to give the title shot to a guy that can’t make weight. Good job ufc. Do the right thing and cancel 228

Thats how I interpret an interim title now. To me, (until Dana White changes his mind again) it means that you are now the mandatory challenger for the champion, but only at a time the UFC picks, and if you can't make the walk, then you lose your fake belt and your shot. Also, the interim title will cause you to be elevated to champion if the champ can't defend his belt for too long a period. That's not nothing, you have to dance for the UFC to cash in, but the interim title gives you a shot.

On the one hand, this interim belt thing being used to force guys into certain timetables is bullshit. On the other hand, gently caress Colby Covington.

I wonder if he's hurt or if something else is not going right. If you don't think you can beat Woodley now, but you could later, then it probably makes sense to give up the fake belt and work for your next shot, because if you lose, thats a pretty big setback unless you have some kind of bloody battle that the fans want to see again. No one expects that in a Woodley fight.

I love the concept that every fight is a 5 rounder and every fight Rory is in in the tournament is a belt defense so whoever wins the tournament is also the champion at the end.

You could not design a less efficient way to hurt someone with your arms and fists. I used to think the opposite of a punch was a kick but Cindy Dandois has truly broken new loving ground. You have to call her a pioneer of the sport because that poo poo has never been done before.
