MMA fans suck and are lazy and want the UFC to tell them who to root for.
Yep, will never be a fan of these new guys with less mileage who destroy Legends. It's gross. Legends should all leave the UFC and go to Bellator and do TRT and GHRP.
My point is that they wouldn't have bothered with the effort to do that with someone else who didn't have Conor's magnetism. They knew if he was the champion it was liscense to print money so they needed him to be there as soon as possible,same with Brock. But they were already GOLD. You either are,or you aren't. Or somehow,inexplicably you go through a late career change,like Chael,but that's rare. Im sure when UFC took one look at GSP they were like OH shit. You dont find guys like GSP on trees...just LOOK at that guy. Thus his 3rd ufc bout was for the title.
Because... you get on a decent streak and instead of build you up... they match make you vs a wrestler or bury you on Fight Pass...
stop trolling Branch is pillowfisted and had one flurry against Luke due to Rockhold's boxing defence being backing straight up Luke then went on to smash Branch. If Thiago was going to be anything he would've beat Branch, Hall, Mutante and Spicely he has had his shots a failed.As that saying goes, it's not the year but the mileage. Thiago Santos utterly destroyed Smith and showed no signs of being 34.
In addition, Branch is no slouch. He was destroying Rockhold, the former MW champ. There is no shame in losing to Branch, who would have destroyed Smith.

he took a shot notice fightBranch was kicking Rockhold's ass on the feet. Rockhold won due to a much better ground game:
Regardless, the point is that Smith is getting fed easy match-ups by the UFC to make him look like a killer, whereas guys like Thiago Santos who are much better and more exciting should have gotten equal promotional help, at the very least.
Wait, who is calling Smith a future star? lmao
