I think rockhold beats bisping 1 time out of 2

Im going with mike. His tdd is strong, and rockholds not tougher or in better shape.

Talent, confidence, achievement, and a fat wad of cash would probably cause Jon Jonesesque activity in your average 20 something.

I think its usually the lack of those things

Michael Chiesa is a worse loser than a Brazilian.

Aldo says Holloway is a great fighter who earned the title and that Frankie deserves the next title shot.

aldo is cool

i wonder how well reebok have done out of it.

strictly from my point of view as a fan, the deal they got was so good that it actually repulses me from their brand, they are actively loving the fighters i like. never mind the fact that the zips never work when the fighters attempt to take off a jacket, the myriad of design mishaps, and just generally shittyness (looks-wise) of their apparel.

i'd be surprised if my pov was pervasive, but i can't imagine anyone buying that poo poo.

I'd be curious to know that, too. I feel more or less the same as you do.

I'm also thinking that almost every champ who became a star became one in a division with a clear pecking order. GSP was the dominant welterweight king, but the next 5 or 6 guys were clearly a step ahead of the rest of the division, and when someone broke through them (like Alves murdering Hughes and Kos) it creates a narrative of 'here comes the new guy, upsetting the order.' Featherweight in general was a solid division with a lot of guys who were clearly good, but a step below Aldo. Jones had a bunch of solid (albeit old) guys to cut his teeth on. As much as we mock Ronda's run on housewives and soccer mums, they were the best housewives and soccer mums available.

We're getting into the weeds here but GSP was in big fights with BJ and Hughes. It was a huge deal. All three had equally big groups of people convinced they were the greatest ever and GSP beat both guys at the height of their power.

I don't really like youre other characterizations either but I'm too lazy to continue
