Somebody actually put forth Dominick Cruz as deserving of a title shot more than a Cody Garbrandt rematch when Cruz hasn't fought since Garbrandt clowned on him and is in the midst of yet another multi year injury layoff.

This layoff is voluntary too. Smart move to sit out 2 years, still be #2 and get an immediate title shot rather than get beat up by Jimmy Rivera or something.


And gently caress those of you who turn the MM thing into some struggle against the man. This isn’t some class warfare poo poo, it’s fighting. This thread was kicking rear end for years before anybody posted about PPV buys and draws, now that’s all you idiots talk about.

I want to see MM fight TJ because it’s a super competitive fight between two P4P talents. I call MM a coward because he’s ducking TJ in his own natural weight class, we’re not asking him to do anything crazy, just fight the toughest guy at your weight. He won’t be fighting the best version of TJ yet he still doesn’t wanna risk it. He’d rather fight guys way below his level (cejudo aside) and rack up his title defense record. In my mind Max’s steak is just as if not more impressive than MM’s, even though Max has only a single defense.

Yeah but there is some doubt.

Naw Cerrone is def way more racist than Perry, who I don’t feel is actually racist. He’s the white kid who grew up in the hood with minority friends. Cowboy is on video referring to Melvin Guillard, his friend and former training partner, as an “n-word” with the hard “r” after knocking him out in their UFC fight.

Why can't elite level combat sports athletes stay uninjured?

Boxers manage to do it.

There are plenty of guys who never failed a test who also never/rarely pull out with injuries.

I think it’s more that boxers have camps set up around one athlete and everyone’s job (as in they are literally paid to do this) is to help them prepare without getting injured or burnt out. The whole camp is focused on getting the fighter to his/her fight. In an MMA camp, there might be 5 top guys all prepping for a fight at once, and I’d imagine it’s rougher sparring a motivated guy with a fight coming up than a dude who was flown in specifically for you to beat up.
