What if we're in the remake timeline and DC beats them all up

Ngannou has better grappling than Rob Whittaker and only half a star worse (out of 5) than Tony Ferguson in UFC 4 🤔🤔🤔

Whittaker qualified for the commonwealth games in wrestling.
Granted, the commonwealth countries generally aren't the elite of the world's wrestling but it's still demonstrative of elite grappling.

USADA got nothing better to do than pop people for weed during a spiralling pandemic in the US?

So in UFC 4, you can have open weight fights which is neat.
Problem is, the height difference only functions on the feet and as soon as the grappling happens, both fighters become the same height.
Here's someone's video of Lineker vs Struve. As soon as Struve gets on the mat, he shrinks by 3 feet and it's amazing. He has a very rapid growth spurt on the feet.

5 minutes in has an example of it.

What do you do if you're Stefan Struve right now, DC?

That's a hard one, Jon, there are no safe places for him in the octagon tonight. Normally if you're getting pieced up on the feet by a goblin who should not conceivably be able to physically punch you in the face you can just go for a takedown, but Linekar has shown time and time again that whenever it goes to the ground he can erupt to seven feet tall. All that time with Coach Apache Chief has really paid off for him, this is the best Linekar we have ever seen tonight.

Amazing


Also why not let Aldo finish off the brain cells Yan spared by giving him a 125 shot he doesn't deserve (and probably can't weigh in for)

Refs are damned if they stop it early and damned if they don't and in sports, people tend to say the best thing a ref can be is invisible.
So they should always aim to do it early if it's touch and go because it will have a tangible benefit for the defeated fighter and i'd much rather see a massively poo poo early stoppage than a massively poo poo late one like when Aldo was murdered by Yan

but like also look at DC's fingers there too.

That was a double eye poke NC waiting to happen.

stipe would bully him up against the cage like he did to dc just now but for 25 minutes tbh

Seems short notice to make that a 5 round fight if you have interest in making it an entertaining one.
Why not delay it to October and give them time to fully train for 5?

The dude who is stepping in to fight Alex Caceres on two days notice missed weight by 5 pounds so they're taking 30% of his purse.
Seems harsh.
