Share your unpopular MMA opinions

Title defences dont mean jack shit, its the names on the resume

PED use doesnt diminish a fighters legacy whatsoever. Everyones on them and If you’re stupid enough to fight natty then enjoy getting ktfo

Fedor is the greatest of all time but jones is the best of all time

GSP beat Hendricks and it was obvious

Yoel has the best resume at middleweight

Mighty mouse is in a shallow division, lost when he moved up and has no place on the top 5 p4p


Come at me

Ah, one of these threads. I always have some of the same one. But to mix it up...

UFC ruined MMA and them faltering and losing lots of fighters would be at least as good as them excelling.

Also, mainstream status was worse for the quality of MMA than a strong underground following

Top fighters should have tuneup fights after a loss.

Anderson was a great fighter, but he would've lost to GSP, so he can't be the GOAT.

Being an MMA fighter is cool for those who want to do it, and I enjoy watching. It's cool for athletic competition to win and all, but it's mostly only a great life achievement to people who haven't accomplished much. Other than making money and being famous (and likely running out of money and being forgotten by many other than bill collectors who will never forget you).
 
1. Decisions are stupid, they should be forced to throw punches without dodging until one of them is out.
2. Mark Hunt should only fight strikers from now on.
3. If you miss weight ONCE, you should be forced to fight in another division
4. Rockhold does not look that salty.
5. Silva was on the juice his entire career.
6. Chuck did more coke than Jones.
7. Gas would KO Romero in the 1st.
8. I believe GSP would destroy Khabib for 5 rounds out of 5.
9. Rumble would KO Jones in the 1st.
10. Maywheater would be a top fighter in UFC
11. Ngannou and Romero are on the juice
12. Zabit will get the belt from Ortega
13. There will never be a trash talker as good as Chael
14. Bring back atomic headbutts and soccer kicks!
15. Askren is interesting to watch fighting
16. Punk won the first round against MJ
17. Bisping didn't have soft hands
18. Mousasi is the most underrated fighter ever
19. Diego is a smart guy
20. Rickson Gracie is 400-0
 
Never cared for Sakuraba

Old UFC (1-13) was the bomb

Nu Gu Na Gu Gu is an entitled prick

I miss the shameful fat awkwardness of Ben Rothwell, the Tim Sylvia of our generation.

Royce Gracie aint no pioneer, hes a manipulative thug.

Frank Shamrock was once GOAT.

Tank Abboth is a psychopath

Anderson is GOAT

Chuck most definitely has done more coke than Jones
 
I dnt bring it up much but since this is what where doing Weidmen got lucky against Silva 2x
 
I don't know how unpopular these are, but...

- Gus beats DC in the rematch (styles make fights, Gus is a very tough matchup for DC)
- Ferg is the best LW on the planet
- At the moment, Cormier is the P4P #1 ACTIVE (excluding Jones) fighter on the planet (I'm not even a fan of him really)
- I've always really enjoyed Mike Goldberg on air.
- Dominick Reyes fights for the belt by the end of 2019.
- I was happy to see Esparza do well against Claudia
- Holly Holm might be the most boring fighter on the roster. ISH ISH ISH! (sweet woman and thanks for the Rousey highlight though!)
- Let Gastelum fight Whittaker next. Would be amazing. It would be too weird letting Weidman fight for the strap after going 0-3 and winning one fight even though it was against Gas. Feels weird.
- If Gastelum actually cared about his weight, he can be the WW champ right now. He beats Woodley in the rematch or anybody else at the top of that division.

The fighters are the reason there isn't a union; they all secretly want to be uncle toms.
 
Pity this ended up in wasteland, thought it was a unique thread for once. Props to you TS.
 
Rickson Gracie is 400-0

Its a Joke , Rickson Gracie was afraid of Sakuraba.
