#1 GOAT Rank Squatter Triple Threat Match: Covington vs Ortega vs Cejudo

[Dionysian]

Henry's situation is offensive for sure but I wouldn't call it rank squatting technically, since PERSONALLY that concept doesn't apply to someone who actually reached undisputed belt(s) previously.

But yeah rather than ranking them we should all agree that Ortega, Colby, Gane, and Chandler are all indicative of a corrupt, shit system that deserves to be called out and destroyed for the sham that it is.

Ortega and Covington are the two worst IMO.

I have been posting about Ortega and Yair for YEARS on here and no one wanted to believe it. Guys like Rockhold/Gus/Ortega/Yair/Colby pissed away YEARS of prime money making opportunities by sitting on the shelf and will very likely run into SEVERE financial problems in the future.

Being an MMA fighter post-Reebok era is a ridiculously stupid career choice to begin with considering even the top fighters in the world are really not making THAT much money but if you do commit your life to it, would you not try to make as much money as possible considering your career is going to be over by your late 30s at best??

Gus could have made a fortune headlining Fight Night cards in Europe against mediocre competition but his ego got so big after the 1st Jones fight that he decided to just be salty AF on his couch instead of taking fights. Yair won TUF when he was 22 YEARS OLD and instead of capitalizing on his fame, he fought 14 times over the next 11 years and now no one gives a crap about him.

Meanwhile, Andrei Arlovski came back to the UFC and fought 26 TIMES in the same time period earning over 200K each time (for meaningless fights) despite being nearly 14 years older...

As horrible as the UFC treats its fighters, it's truly baffling that many of the fighters who actually "make it" squander the opportunity by being inactive despite still getting roughed up in training every day. If you've committed your life to getting punched in the face for a living, I would hope that you're getting paid good money for it but I guess that's applying logic to an illogical situation. The egos in this sport are RIDICULOUS
