So 3 fights equals a boring fighter? Are Maia and Thompson boring fighters as well?

MMA fans are what have you done for me lately so that can be perception yes. Look how quickly Nnganou went from here to zero after the Derrick Lewis fight.

Also, Woodley vs Maia and Thompson wasnt just boring. It was next level boring. Like records were set for low strike count.

I agree that some of the Woodley boring talk is people simply not liking him, but you cant deny some of title defenses were sleeping pills.

Aldo anybody???

Aldo got KO'd in 13 seconds in the biggest fight of his life, ran his mouth for a year only to lose decisively to a better, younger version of himself, got a rematch and lost in literally the same exact way, and got brought back on a hot card against a very winnable opponent in Jeremy Stephens

You really think there's a conspiracy against dude?

did you ignore what i said completely. i dont care how he lost, he didnt get a rematch against conor for the belt because he lost to posterboy. nothing you say will negate that......

Anderson got ko'd and got an immediate rematch

He lost in 13 seconds and fans weren't interested in a rematch. Just because you don't care how he lost, fans and analysts do. Negate that.

Even if you argue that a rematch made sense at the time, not all matches that make sense happen.

Conor was in a position to pick fights, and an Aldo rematch wasn't the best fight for him on multiple levels, so no rematch for Aldo. That's the way it goes. Conor's career went into the stratosphere after he fought Diaz so clearly he played his cards right. To act like there's some overarching conspiracy against Aldo is nonsense.

If anybody got screwed out of fighting Conor, it's Frankie Edgar. Again, that's the way the fight game goes. Not everybody gets the fights they earn.

thats the biggest crock of BS ive ever seen. if aldo lost to somebody not named conor (see max), he gets an immediate rematch.

nobody wanted to see a second shot vs max.

Agreed nobody wanted to see it. That’s why the original fight was Holloway vs. Edgar. Aldo stepped in after Edgar was injured, remember?

Name another champ that got KO’d in 13 seconds and got an immediate rematch. You can’t because it’s never happened before. There’s no precedents to follow and no book of rules. You may think Aldo deserves a rematch but to say it’s a crock of sh1t he didn’t get one is your opinion. Rematches are never a given, especially after such a horrendous loss. You’re looking for patterns and logic in a sport where there are none.
