What were instances of the UFC giving a fighter an opponent where it was clear that they were punishing them for either a performance, something they said, missing weight, leaving the org, contract issues, etc.?
I am struggling to think of some but I remember Roger Huerta got thrown to the wolves near the end of his UFC tenure. I forget what it was about I don't know if it was about Sports Illustrated or him being a diva or what but I remember he said some things and then he got multiple vicious match ups and even on a losing streak his fights either strayed as brutal or even got more challenging.
I know there are more instances. Come to think of it... wasn't Machida/Ortiz basically a punishment fight?
I know there are plenty of others. Feel free to chime in!
