I’m not saying he’s a cheater, but idk why people will sit there and say Usman is on the juice because of his physique meanwhile Islam is literally built the same but a lightweight so less muscle mass obviously. People will shit on Jones but who thinks Francis Ngannou is 100% natty? I hope one day we get to find out who truly was on the shit and who wasn’t. Maybe they’ll come out after retiring.

[@ohlord3650]

I agreed that Frankie should have won the rematch BUT that rematch shouldn't have even happened as the first fight was decisively won by Benson and Frankie wasn't a long defending champ who deserved an immediate rematch after such a lopsided decision loss.

[@benlewis5312]

​@@ohlord3650 Frankie was arguably the greatest LW ever by the time he lost to Henderson. He'd defended the belt 3 times (tying him for the LW record), beaten the previous best LW BJ Penn, and avenged his only loss when he KO'ed Gray Maynard. It was similar to when Stipe and Max got immediate rematches after their losses to DC and Alex. Maybe he wasn't the longest-reigning champ but he had achieved enough that an immediate rematch made sense

[@AJKungFuu]

Frankie most certainly should've won that. Gray arguably beat him in the first round via 10-7, but Frankie comfortably won all subsequent rounds 10-9.

The panel is listed right there in the footnotes on UFC’s official website. It’s just a vote. What’s weird about a person changing their mind? Do you know how many people said volk should remain pound for pound only to have changed their mind having watched it back and gone over it more? Nothing at all strange about that.

Was 12-1 in his last 13, and got smashed all the way down for losing to the ranked 3 PFP Cejudo. Aldo had lost to Volk, Moraes, and Yan, was 2-5 in his last 7, and was 0-2 at bantamweight, and was ranked 7th still.

I don’t understand why there isn’t just a basic points system. • Everyone starts with 1 point • Every won fight in UFC/MMA gives you another point total •Every lost fight is -1(or whatever amount) • Every title fight win/defense or top 10 opponent win is 2 points • Do some quick maths on their Sig. Strikes, Takedowns/TD Defenses, Control Time, etc. and add all the scores up • Whoever has the most points is p-4-p. I dunno, I’m not a statistician, but I’m 100% certain some basic system like that is a 10x better way to rank P4P than whatever the fuck the UFC currently does.
