It would be funny if they just agreed to both say it to try and pressure the UFC into doing it. Regardless Nate vs. Poirier needs to be five rounds

165 is a good division but gently caress are there already a lot of belts out there.

In any case, Nate v Dustin clearly needs to be 5 rounds, it would be a travesty to see that only go 3.

I wonder what the ufc would do if they just both showed up at 165 without actually telling or asking anybody first. gently caress that would be absolutely incredible.

Conor is going to knockout Khabib then disappear with the title for an entire year while shilling whiskey, so hell bring on the 165 lb division.

Maybe the belt will actually be active?

That first fight is legit one of the two or three best fights in the UFC's history. It's amazing. As much as I don't like Hendricks, he's the one who dug deep and altered tactics to win. It's a gutsy, impressive performance.

i actually think robbie edged the first fight and thought hendricks won the second pretty unambiguously, but the first was a way better fight due to hendricks not falling in love with robbie's dick as aggressively. i miss robbie. he just stopped giving a gently caress and i wish he'd come back with some fucks to give

They should have added the165lbs division 5 years ago.

Overeem has moved camps again to train with Curtis Blaydes. I can't think of many other fighters who have trained in so many different camps during their career.

This and to a greater extent, a 195 lbs. (Franklinweight) class.

I won't be able to watch this, but I just want to say that the original UFC belt design that Jens shows off on his twitch stream from time to time is cooler than the current one

gently caress it no orgs we're boxing now, unify Bellator and UFC and RIZIN and all have their own titles with the same champs and I dont loving care anymore.

Seriously this is loving abysmal and why UFC did so well compared to boxing with saturation. Now boxing is on the up as UFC may as well be indistinguishable with less interesting fighters.

Give everyone on the roster a belt and when you lose your belt, your opponent keeps it

Whoever is on top of the mountain of belts at the end is the actual champion
