    Yeah theres some good talent outside of the UFC. Also Lima, Patricio Pitbull, Amosov, AJ Mckee, Ray Cooper. LOTS of good wrestler types with "Ov" and "Ev" surnames in the Russian promotions, especially ACA.

    Quite a few ex-UFC names out there who left for reasons other than their records too. Mighty Mouse, Bendo, Rory, Mousasi etc.

The obvious is that the UFC puts the money that "should" go to the fighters in to promoting them & their events.

      Fans just wanna see guys take punches but could care less about how they're set up AFTER they can no longer fight. But be the same people who express empathy when the fighter they grew up watching can't speak, has brain damage, an is financially unstable.
      wtf are you even talking about There were fighters on Mayweathers undercard making 2000.

      Try to do some research before talking ****.

          Dude, I get what you're saying in principle but come on. Bader had multiple losses in the UFC at LHW, including to Jones who might fight Stipe next. He beat ****ing King Mo, Meathead and the 42 year old ghost of Fedor to win the Bellator HW title, then defended it against 45 year old Kongo, a guy who was a fringe top 10 HW in the UFC in his prime like a decade ago.

          As for Vera? the guy ****ing sucks, another guy in his 40s who got wrecked repeatedly in the UFC in his prime a decade ago (including a loss to Randy who is 57 years old now for ****s sake!)

          If Stipe fought Bader over Jones or a Ngannou rematch people would think it was dumb. If he fought Vera people would be like "what the ****?"

          It aint exactly Spence/Crawford or AJ/Fury.

          Pretty sure the UFC can figure out how to sell an undisputed MMA champ.

          I mean look at DC, he's second best in two divisions and they act like that makes him godly.

          Conor gets his ass kicked every other fight and still out sells the rest of the sport.

          It's not that big a deal. Act like those boys have come a long way and pose a real threat. Put Stipe on 'em trouney style like old Pride or K-1 bull and have Stipe walk through Bader and Vera in one night. Bam, no more pretenders to the throne.


          Or, conversely:

          Ngannou - Already got whooped

          Blaydes - Got beat by Ngannou

          Rovenstruik (spelling?) Beat old men and no bodies.

          Lewis - Loses to old men

          Overeem - Is old man

          JDS - Should retire!

          Vokov - Got his ass kicked by Blaydes

          Sakai - Maybe, bit low in the ranking but I dunno that fella.

          Harris - Needs a good win against a top contender who is neither JDS nor AO cause those guys are basically no hopers at this point.





          It's the same in boxing. I do not give a **** about Whyte. If he beats Pov I'll continue to not give a **** about Whyte. If he grabs him that WBC he's been trying for I'll give a **** about Whyte.

          I don't honestly give a **** about Francis. He's good, he deserves a rematch, he's whooped the other contenders, but, he doesn't bring anything but another W to Stipe. At least Vera and Bader got belts.

          You know you'd think an undisputed MMA champ would be cool.


          Who before Stipe earned that right? It'd be a cool way to cap that career. Let him bust up the pretenders at the other orgs because he's done busted the UFC a new ******* AND it's kinda a guarantee he wins.

            True.

            Imo Rory is done and I think Gegard left due to business reasons. he would have been great in the current middleweight division.

            I was pretty bummed when he left the UFC.

              Typical boxing maxi.

                  boxing can produce great matchups as well and if the top guys in the divisions actually fought each other multiple times it could be epic, really epic, instead we get twitter warz and the odd great matchup with fighters leaving divisions and in some cases stacked divisions

                      Competitive? Pretty sure I just said he has no competition regardless of which ranking system

                      Who in the entire sport is a legit threat to Stipe? Cormier again? Francis again? Some fools they beat?
