Good ol' UFC matching promising up and coming prospects vs. each other as quickly as possible instead of taking the effort to promote and bring up both concurrently :snoop:

Coulda made 2 separate great fights for these guys with Romero vs. Costa and Adesanya vs. Rockhold but now we gotta watch one of these young undefeated studs completely halt the momentum of the other because the UFC still has no idea how to develop prospects if they aren't all-time transcendent talents like Jon Jones. Maybe they'll at least give Jacare the chance to avenge that BS decision loss vs. Romero if this is what they're going with; I'd rather see him take time to recover then fight for the title next spring but lord knows Dana never gives decorated Brazilian grapplers title shots until he's exhausted every imaginable matchup for them. :francis:

shyt is bogus anyway, dude not verified or affiliated with any media

To be fair, on his post-fight press tour this week, Adesanya says thats the one dude he wants to fight next. He says he wants to get to him before USADA does. Plus, more often then not, fights 'simmer' too long and then never happen or happen too late.
