Thanks. I tend to like Serra so I hope if it does kick off irl Serra's weight works for him and not against him. What was the jibe about his failing business? Is Serra/Longo in trouble?

Shevchenko is only a -550 favorite? That still seems like free money, I was thinking it was going to be at least -800. Unless she is grievously injured in training, I can't imagine this being competitive.

WW was a fantastic, prestige division for a long time. And then, suddenly, seemingly the whole old guard was either retired, on the brink of retired, in Bellator for some loving reason or coming off a loss to Colby Covington. It's sort of what happened to LHW, but it seems to have happened a lot faster.

The spiders in Georges St-Pierre’s brain finally reached his cerebral cortex, and made him see aliens until he had to quit and go back to being French for a while. Hendricks was defeated by a combination of store-bought steaks and the USADA. We had a brief hurrah with Robbie’s fun little run, but that led us into the Woodley era, God help us. It was a brutal fall from whatever passes for grace in this sport.

The Woodley Era isn't as bad as you make it out to sound. He has had some bad fights but also good fights too. If GSP had to fight Demian Maia and a cowardly ineffectual Wonderboy then his fights might have been better than Woodley's but not by a lot. I think the depth of contendership is just weak right now by comparison to 5-8 years ago.

People would have complained because GSP owned him so hard from bell to bell it was boring.

Oh and Anderson Silva also had a fight with Maia in which he sniped from the outside and defended takedowns for 25 minutes (and played air guitar). 5 years after the end of the Woodley era, people will watch highlight reels of him knocking dudes down and forget about the long, slow grinds in the middle. That being said, gently caress Tyron Woodley, but extra gently caress Covington.

CommonShore posted:People used to whinge about GSP's reign. I wasn’t one of them. I always looked forward to his fights. Bluedeanie posted:The Woodley Era isn't as bad as you make it out to sound. No, it kind of sucks. Lawler, Hughes, St-Pierre, Penn, even Hendricks and Serra. Woodley is easily the least exciting and compelling champion Welterweight has had in 15+ years. You’re saying he hasn’t had good opponents, and that might be part of it, but what does it matter? If he’s not making fun fights, he’s not making fun fights. I disagree that Georges wouldn’t have made better fights with those same opponents. Have you actually been excited for a single Woodley defense? When was the last time you were stoked for any Woodley fight, at all? I’d say 2016, for Woodley vs. Lawler. Before that, probably Woodley vs. MacDonald. Six months ago, I was defending Woodley with basically the same verbiage: “It’s not as bad as you make it sound.” Then, I realized that when I think of watching a Woodley fight, my primary feeling about it is, “Ugh.” If Woodley suddenly starts having exciting fights, I’ll be glad to get on board. Right now, I just don’t care if I ever see him fight, again. Wise Learned Man posted:Carne USADA lol CommonShore posted:5 years after the end of the Woodley era, people will watch highlight reels of him knocking dudes down and forget about the long, slow grinds in the middle. There’s truth in this. It’s not like Woodley hasn’t done cool poo poo, it’s just that the gaps in between are boring as hell. Edit: The best appearance Woodley has put in in the last three years was his starring role in Keven’s joke about open mic night.

I was excited for the first Wonderboy fight. I was indifferent for the rematch and I was not looking forward to the Maia fight because it was a fivr round Demian Maia fight and those tend to look a certain kind of way.

It's inevitable that some fighters age out of their prime, but WW has a surprising lack of new talent. There are fewer cool new fighters rising than there are old guys leaving. Speaking of cool new fighters, have there been any updates on Holloway's status?

honestly all of the developed welterweights are in Bellator. Koreshkov, Lima, Rory and possibly MVP would instantly make Welterweight the most competitive division.

I remember when him and Mousassi were let go, there was a sentiment here and elsewhere that 'they don't sell seats on their own' and that's true. It's also true of most of their champions. However, the UFC used to be in a really strong position not only due to having the best guy as the champion, but also the next 10 best guys. That way, you know the champ is legit, and you can know whether contenders are legit. As much as Jon Fitch didn't sell PPVs, Hendricks knocking him out made Hendricks impossible to ignore, ditto for Koscheck getting clobbered by Robbie.

Ok here's a question - What's your vote for the fight that wasn't a big deal when it happened, but which now (or even just later) would produce ridiculous excitement. My vote is for Holloway-Poirier. I just rewatched it and Max looks pretty good in it, all things considered.
