Nice little pick up.

Cruz should defend, as should Alvarez but Woodley will be adding to the losses.

Last year the only challenger to finish (let alone knock out) the champion in the first round was McGregor.

It's happened five times in the last four months, including twice in three days during UFC 200 weekend.

Alvarez and Woodley are next

5 of them was in the first round too, crazy.

 

[Miragliottas Sock]

Dynamic competition is a good thing. It means that the gap in talent is getting more narrow between challenger and champion. Makes for better fights IMO.

 

[mattandbenny]

Yea its more fun when you know either fighter can win.

Interesting. I propse that "Dominick Cruz def. TJ Dillashaw" should could as both a Champion lose and win.
