As simple as that.

TJ-Assuncao was promoted as the #1 conteder spot (title eliminator) for a shot at the title. TJ won convincingly, eliminating the guy who last beat him and snapping his 7 fight win streak.

He's the rightfull #1 contender and will be a huge shame to the UFC if it doesn't happen asap.
 
Yes TJ we have had Sherdoggers make threads about your comments already
 
Ok TJ....



I still Vote for Cruz Vs Garbrandt

Tj Vs Faber (if he win vs Rivera at 203)
 
Nah. TJ is boring as shit to hype up a fight
Much rather see Cody vs Cruz, already bad blood there
Cruz wins both, 50-46 UD.

Cruz was coming back from a career threatening injury the first time. He dominates him this time.

This is a sport, but not the kind you want it to be.

How do you loss credibility? It is possible to lose credibility.

Yeah I actually enjoyed the Renan Barao beat downs.
Maybe i should've said boring to hype up a fight.
Cruz and Cody are already talking shit to each other and building up a fight I would much rather see than TJ vs Cruz
 
Garbrandt vs Dillashaw seems like the perfect title qualifier. Garbrandt has been awesome, but not really against anyone of note yet. I don't think one win is enough to get a guy back to a title shot either. Plus the alpha-male heat would add the juice.
 
You may think like that, but I doubt the majority of MMA fans feel that it's as black and white as you make it. I personally feel Cruz v TJ 2 is the right option, but I wouldn't be mad if they gave it to No Love.
 
Well, they went ahead with Hendo-Bisping 2 so there's there definitely no guarantee TJ is getting a shot.
 
i think the smart play for TJ is to fight out the remainder of his current contract and then get a well deserved raise before he faces cruz again. at UFC 200 his pay was 25K show/ 25K bonus. that's low for a fighter who before that fight was in four title fights in a row previously going 3-1 in those title fights.

IMO he needs to secure a pay increase first before fighting cruz. cruz was coming of a long layoff and won their previous fight. more than likely cruz will do better in a rematch against dillishaw.
 
It's all about money fights now.

Plus I'm not sure the UFC was ever really credible...
