It's just insane for Nate to get a title shot at 170. What has he done at 170 to deserve it? What's the point of working hard and fighting your way to the top when someone who hasn't fought in a long ass time and is coming off a loss can just swoop in and steal a title shot. What a joke.
This is better than him getting a shot at 155 tbh. Atleast he beat MCG twice at 170. He’s only won 2 of his last 5 fights at 155.
Woodley just beat the top 2 contenders at 170, that division can cook for awhile. Let guys like Darren Till, Mike Perry, Covington, build themselves.

Woodley vs Nate cool but Woodley got this in the bag. Even if Nate brings the fight Woodley gonna win because Woodley likes to get pressured. He's comfortable countering.

Some of these MMA fighters are trying to be WWE personalities and they're starting to get checked for it. Chael got snuffed by Wandy, Magana by Cyborg and now Colby by Werdum...Masvidal and Bisping jawed all fight week over the flag disrespect too. There's repercussions for being an A-hole.

MMA heads why do you think woman MMA could kinda break through but women boxing not?

In boxing nowadays they also start to promote some female boxers better but overall there's still a very minor interest in women boxing cause it's 95% lower quality than man boxing because the physical differences, so it's also less entertaining if you got used to men boxing. Also a lot more shallow weight divisions.

As I saw this looks different in MMA and dudes are hypes over women fights. What makes the difference there?

I don't remember a big boxing card with any women boxers on it that's why. If they were to put women on premier cards, they would get love too.

Cub Swanson is getting fukked over, he deserves a title shot... but in this particular case, Aldo deserved an immediate rematch anyway (he should've had one against McGregor), so I can't get too mad here. But Swanson should definitely get next if he beats Ortega. Let Edgar wait for his 10th title shot.

Colby fukked up saying that shyt about Brazilians. It's one thing to insult a single person, but a whole country. Of course these cacs justified it by pointing out that they chant "you're gonna die".
