[@kennywilkinson913]

I've been a mma casual since the 90s, days of bravo in the UK and a massive boxing fan. The irony, since Leon's head kick, I invested heavily in the ufc to continually get more and more disillusioned with both sports, to the point over the last 6 months, I've completely lost interest in both. Back in the day, you couldn't go more than a few weeks without something going viral for the ufc, same big names.kept popping up in massive moments, then it all just went like boxing, boring, biased, bent and bewildering at timed.

[@vince11harris]

Well that’s all on Dana. Unlike boxing, Dana has a much bigger say on his sport so that’s kinda his fault

[@quillanjacobson1478]

Its disgusting Bones wasn’t stripped. The dude already basically took a year off, then got another injury that basically would cost him another year. Its one thing if you signed the contract to fight 6 months or less after a fight and had a year long injury, but letting him keep the belt after he’s already held the division up? That’s some BS.

[@annddneww]

well if dom cruz could hold belt for like 800 days , as a guy with low start power and very few title defenses... what makes u people think they would EVEN consider stripping THE most privileged fighter in UFC that they wanna promote as " The greatest to ever compete in any combat sports "... if there's no so much hate around jones and his peds and things he does OUTSIDE of octagon, noone would have an issue with this....

I think you underestimate the control UFC has over ALL of them. The problem is not the stardom that Jon Jones has, for example. If the UFC wanted Tom Aspinall to fight, they would have stripped Jones in a minute and let Aspinall fight for the belt. The UFC chooses when the fights happen, not the fighters. The problem is not about the individuals, but about the industry.

[@korlu01]

You’re not 100% wrong but you definitely aren’t 100% right either. Champions have huge say over who their opponents are. 299 is a perfect example of that. But you’re right. You have to fight who they put in front of you in the end. The example you offered needs to happen very soon. What Jon is doing is something he is choosing to do. Make no mistake about that. The industry will give the okay on a fight with Stipe because Jon has the real draw. Without that, that fight would never be given the green light. Jon’s the only one who wants it. And guess what. That will be enough to make it happen.

[@elite__underscore4685]

⁠​⁠@@korlu01Jones is not the only one who wants the stipe fight. Stipe and the ufc want it and at the end of it all if the ufc wants it then it’ll happen. Champions can say and suggest whatever they want but if the UFC says no then it’s a no. It’s all about what they think the bigger fight will be

[@korlu01]

@@elite__underscore4685 yes for sure but on the inverse, fighters can refuse to take part in fights the UFC really wants. No doubt they’re licking their chops at Jones vs Aspinall yet Jones is adamant that’s not happening. I hear you man and I think we’re mostly in agreement I just think there’s a new big wave of fighter autonomy and choice in opponents. The sport is growing so fast and the super stars are becoming so widely and well known that they play a major part in promoting their next fight themselves

[@wyzar202]

Cannonier was the most deserving title challenger, then he took a fight that was not gonna give him the shot with Imavov, lost by a controversial early stoppage, and now he' has no chances of fighting for a belt, considering he's 40. For some people is better to just wait, like Belal, imagine Belal fought against JDM, Garry or whatever and lost, he would never fight for the belt again.

The reason there is so much inactivity is because being active is risky and waiting around often pays off. There's no competitive architecture or clear system of merit; it's all just based on other fighters winning and losing and on how Dana White randomly feels about you at any given time. If the UFC properly rewarded people for being active, people would stay active. If the UFC punished champs and other top fighters for sitting on in the sidelines, they would stop sitting around.
