As much as I dislike Miesha Tate's face, I think she genuinely has a pretty great understanding of the sport and has a less irritating voice than Daniel Cormier so I think they should just use her since she's retired and does their panel stuff sometimes.

I'm fine with that. The only thing I can see hindering her is some weird grudge Dana might have for her since he's still tight with Ronda.

definitely. i've done no conclusive research but it certainly seems like pretty fighters get pushed harder in the women's division whereas the UFC happily pushed Brock Lesnar who is only described that way in the sentence "pretty hosed up colon".

Thus proving that the road to popularity in mma is paved with needles regardless of gender.

I think it's fairly common for military cadets who become draftable talents to be given deferrals or altered service, often in recruitment or public affairs. David Robinson from the San Antonio Spurs is a pretty interesting example of it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Robinson_(basketball).

He was too short to be fighting at 170. Matt Serra was even shorter.

The odds are against him finding success, but that success would be cool enough that I'm willing to hope for it.

If he hopes to succeed in the UFC from this point on he's going to have to bear down and push out a couple of wins.

Conor has gone rogue on them. They would prefer him to go on a talk show tour promoting his next fight to defend the belt.

At this point they probably want to cash in, make a lot of money with this stupid boxing freakshow and after Conor gets thrashed then maybe he'll agree to defend his belt. If Conor gets, say, ragdolled by Khabib I don't think the UFC would be upset by that. They'll then promote their new champ, schedule fights in Russia if Khabib is the champ, and Conor will be in the position of either following orders or retiring.

It's hilarious to imagine Khabib being worth even a tenth of the business McGregor is. No one outside of hardcore mma fans care about him and he is hurt constantly.

Its not the WWE. The UFC does not have a "make sure Conor is a long-term active champion" option.

You misread what I wrote. I'm was referring to how Khabib won't make the UFC any money whether you compare him to McGregor or some other champion because no one cares about it. Besides Khabib will never beat McGregor because Khabib is always hurt and Conor never defends his belts.

And actually they do have options as far as keeping him a long term champion. They feed him cans and just print money off people desperate to watch McGregor knock someone out.

Yes but if you start relying on only names they realise that they control you and not tge other way around, UFC was successful in building by avoiding the boxing pitfall of letting the fighters choose. The loss of Lorenzo and Joe Silva contributes strongly to this. As for Sage and Paige everyone could see that was protection based on nothing and yeah it blew up in their faces. As for Bones he is one that shows what happens when you get too big too fast and burns out in a blaze of glory, like tge burn one feels from a fingernail raking the cornea.

I get the feeling Jones was a tremendous rear end in a top hat and gently caress up before becoming famous in the UFC.
