This has been an ongoing debate, but do you think the Fertittas could have handled it better? Do you think it would have happened under them? Is there actually a difference in management styles.

At the very least, the illusion of the UFC being a fight league rather than show fights has been entirely erased by WME. It's arguable if Fertittas/Zuffa ever had going though.

The UFC should have let Max fight at a catchweight from the moment the fight was announced.

Khabib vs Holloway didn't need to be a title fight and they could have just stripped Conor and gave it the Khabib if he'd won a catchweight besides, not like the belts really matter and they're pretty desperate for Khabib to have it.

We just lost a sick fight for kinda no reason.

Karolina Champ soon, team. I'm already hyped.

kimbo305 posted:

I think the main valid criticism is that from that striking game, Khabib was not transitioning well to takedowns. He was managing just fine against Al on the feet, but why did he keep insist on shoot for the single with no feint? Why did he never duck under Al's very plodding punches? If a better striker could put Khabib in that range again, they might have a better payoff.

In fairness, Al's got a better wrestling game than either Conor or Tony so it limited Khabib's options for wrestling in comparison to what's on offer from them. Khabib will be able to take McGregor down at will and McGregor gasses hard so he'd need that KO quick. Tony's a different fighter entirely to Iaquinta on his back.

It's genuinely great that the best UFC HW ever and second best LHW are being offered a fight with a part time WWE wrestler as a reward and at least one of them is overjoyed at the offer.

Stipe might be but it's hard to say with his poker face and gravel throat.

Tyson Griffin making a tit of himself was just what we needed to keep the UFC chuckles going into Justin Gaethje trying to kill someone (himself or otherwise) this weekend.

The UFC should make a division where they can only punch each other and they fight in a ring instead of a cage, they could do like 12 rounds for three minutes instead.
