I tell you....Cormier's commentary is potentially a prelude to UFC *actually* creating a 165lb and 175lb division and MAGICALLY putting the Irish person in right away to try to get the guy who is 1-4 in his last 4 comnbat fights some kind of belt again. Hasn't won a fight in over 4 years and that was a rather weird 40secs1st round stoppage against what I consider to be a Clearly Capitulating Cerrone.
- Talk about trying to Engineer results. They've been gifting McG stuff for years.
Well I hope i'm wrong.
If they DO start 165lbs, I'd like to see Chandler vs Poirier II as the inaugural fight or something like that. WORTHY main event at UFC300 in my view, with 2 fighters who actually regularly fight.
Short version :
IN NO UNIVERSE IS MCG THE BEST FIGHTER AT 165lbs (or even top 5 or top 10) and Cormier should be ashamed of that blatantly sycophantic statement.
& final comment.... I don't think Bloated McG can even make 165lbs on the scale unless he ceases his Special Diet. really don't think he can get that low in 2024.
