Yeah, this is terrible matchmaking :snoop:

Not only do you rob fans of a much more interesting and compelling fight between Valentina/JJ, just because you think you need a title fight to headline a card (and do way too many shows stretching the roster thin), you miss out on an opportunity to do something big with Nate/Dustin. Forget about a title, that fight screams it should be 5rds and now it's going to be 3 :bryan:. I get maybe that didn't want to add a new weight class, but this false belief that you need a title to headline a ppv is silly, when it's been proven the company doesn't really value titles and that stars and compelling match-ups sell fights.

How anyone still fukks with Jones at this point is beyond me. Why would you even train or spar with him knowing he snitched on someone to get a lighter suspension. If I was DC I'd make the UFC come out them pockets to relinquish the belt. How Dana even trusts Jones enough to hand him another title shot knowing there's a high probability he fukks it all up again is crazy.

Bones will probably come into that fight thinking it'll be an easy night just because DC and Rumble had an easier time with Gus.
