you are looking at things through the eyes of how zuffa ran things, in today's UFC nothing is guaranteed. Ferguson is on a 9 fight win streak and I bet the average UFc fan can't name everyone he's beat en route to the number 1 contendeeship. That means his position isn't secure for shyt. Johnson has low key cleaned out the LHW division so him not accepting anything but Cormier can be looked over, this Ferguson business is a different story. he has a contract which he signed, somewhere between then and the announcement of the khabib fight he felt he deserved more. They worked out something for the interim fight only, now he's not fighting for the interim title so whatever fight he takes he's going to be paid what his contract states. There is nothing scumbag about it, when he wins the title then he can restructure his contract not before
that's retarded for the reason I just stated

What a moronic post but it's you so what else is new?

I literally had a feeling this fight would be cancelled. It was too good to be true and felt too right. Probably the best fight to make in all of the divisions. I didn't even check for weigh ins or news all day because I had an ominous feeling. Khabib of all times missed weight. Like WTF

Damn was really hyped about this. DC Jones... DC Rumble and this were three of my most anticipated fights the last few months or so.

Connor will use this as more ammo to not fight Khabib in the future. :francis:

What part? The bit where I state 90% of ufc fans wouldn't be able to recall all the names of the fighters he's beat in his 9 fight win streak?

The part about WME operating on a totally different playbook to zuffa?

Or the part about a fighter signing a contract then not wanting to honour it because he feels he's worth more not due to popularity, live gate or ppv buys but because he's a bad ass on a 9 fight win streak.

See I can actual frame my argument like an adult without ad hominems, your tit for tat routine is past tedious, kid

I got to disagree. While the way he's fought did lead to Ferguson tagging him a lot, it was against Ferguson, who's probably ranked 3rd or 4th in the division. Makdessi probably didn't hit him one time. Maybe Lando does get hit too much but I personally want to wait until an opponent that's in between Makdessi and Ferguson level (that's a lot of dudes lol) before I say Lando is a fist magnet.
Rewatch that Makdessi fight, while he didn't land any of the big shots Ferg landed he was jabbing him with ease to the head and body, right after the kick KO you could see the red spots all on Lando's midsection and around his nose. I'm picking Lando to win but Teymur is a good striker, he will get his shots in.

Fergueson is on a 9 fight win streak one of those being former champ RDA. 6 of those ending by finish. Most of those being exciting matches.
Let El Cucay eat
Unfortunately he's done it to the sound of crickets, the night he completely outclassed RDA aka the ex lightweight champion was the perfect stage to put a bow on his a achievments, instead he just chose to shout out to Mexico then he said deuces. From that point I was like I no longer feel bad that this dude gets overlooked he gets what he deserves

English mother f___ do you speak it?
There is a brutal reality in MMA that you are only as good as your last win, that was the biggest in his streak/career and that's what he does with his moment fresh off UFC 205? Now hes demanding championship money or he won't fight, :heh:
