I posted this just now in the UFC 238 thread but fukk it.
Honestly I may have to stay away from MMA media until this 155 business is squared away. I shouldn't be this invested but it's a damn travesty to the integrity of the sport that Tony has maybe 50/50 odds of getting a title shot. I been an MMA fan since 2000. I've always understood there's an element of MMA that's about making money above just matchmaking based on merit and who the legitimate #1 contenders are. I've even been somewhat okay with some superstars slowing down some divisions (to an extent). But this shyt with Conor is enough. Dude hasn't won a fight in 3 years, has shown us nothing since the last Khabib fight and yet wants an immediate rematch. I've also heard Khabib talk about fighting for his legacy, yet I've heard rumors he wants to fight GSP and retire if he beats Dustin Poirier. At some point meritocracy has to mean something.
The last time Tony lost a fight women hadn't fought yet in the UFC, GSP and Silva were reigning champs, and Cejudo and Usman had ZERO pro fights.
Enough is enough. Give Tony his fukking shot already. Imagine this guy starts to get into the teens winning streak numbers without a unified title shot.

Zhangs a dog, great showcase fight for Andrade.
Waterson is cringe as fukk, basically saying she doesnt want to fight anymore, just wants a shot at being the first champion mom? Pathetic, lost alot of respect for her little cute ass.
At the UFC making a 15 minute campaign ad for Donald Trump, and trying to disguise it as a retrospective documentary.
Amare's Right Hook
Southeast World Champion
German suplex
If Cejudo has some sense or MMA managers actually knew what they were doing. He would be in Mexico right now doing media for a straight month month, touring those belts and telling his people the best fighter in the world is Mexican.
If UFC hadn’t thrown Cowboy and Ferg on that card, it wouldn’t have sold out
These fukking Mexicans really got arguably the p4p #1 in boxing right now. A heavyweight champ with most the belts.
And now a mma double champ
Dafuq is going on?

Cejudo needs to cool it on his creep sht tho.. he should just sell out and be a sell out “babyface” be the ultimate positivity dude. Many people would eat it up... force other fighters to hate on you...

Right, that was beautiful. Shin went directly to the temple and she got her whole hip into it from southpaw. Super clean
True Blue Moon
Superstar
If UFC doesn’t see dollar signs in a clean cut Mexican American gold medalist I don’t know what to say. Mexicans show out for their own in fight sports and dude has two belts. And they admittedly haven’t captured the Latino market like boxing has.If Cejudo has some sense or MMA managers actually knew what they were doing. He would be in Mexico right now doing media for a straight month month, touring those belts and telling his people the best fighter in the world is Mexican.

They got 1995 Oscar de La Hoya on their hands and don’t even know it
That was beautiful
It's great to see that kid doing good in life.

¡Vamos Spurs Vamos!
Great match-up!
at Rockhold not being able to fight because he’s shooting a commercial. If Blachowicz wins he might as well do modeling full time.
