How is that Dana gives Julianna Peña the trilogy right away but doesn't want the same for Pereira?

[Geniusss]

How are u gonna explain that?

Dana White gives Julianna the trilogy right away because he said she deserves it andmake it a PPV main event and everything

But when they asked him about giving Alex the trilogy he is like "oh he should move up to 205 and bla bla bla? What? Making excuses for what?

They are 1-1 in the UFC (3-1 in general for Alex). Pereira has been the only person able to beat Adesanya at middleweight, and he was winning before the KO and that was always the excuse they made for always making Alex fight this guy again after beating him "Oh Adesanya was winning" so why not the other way around ?

Also that's the most exciting to make in that division anyways, both fights have been for the edges

The only reason I see for Dana White not making the trilogy is because he is afraid to lose one of biggest names in the UFC right now as a champ, he knows Pereira would probably beat him again

205 is very weak right now.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Because they know Pena is going to lose.

 

[BlackGirlLover]

You saw how Israel reacted when asked if he'd rematch him, you already know why Dana doesn't want to do it.

 

[Darkgsp]

She has good lips... no but probably because they have no idea what to do with Amanda so they will go with this

You ever see her in a bikini?

Seriously, Dana knows Izzy's belt would be in jeopardy, and gives no chance for Juliana to win again.

Izzy fights by anime rules, he can get his ass kicked 250 times, but if he wins what he deicides is the final battle, he just goes onto his next arc.
This is why you cannot allow your children to become weebs, heed my words sherbros.

The difference is that if Alex goes up to LHW and wins the belt a super fight sells WAYY more than just about any card they could put on.

Another KO loss for Pereira will diminish what's left of his aura. The 185 weight cut is clearly not working out for him and his chin is suspect. Also he will need at minimum 6 months of recovery since his KO defeat to Adesanya was so brutal. Like sleeping out cold brutal. Adesanya is too active to wait around and will want to hop back in there before Alex is medically fit to train. In addition, Alex has used up his "glory kickboxing history" to get another titleshot. He failed to close to Adesanya chapter last Saturday unfortunately. You see UFC angling for a Khamzat MW title if he gets passed Costa. Alex has kind of been used up by the UFC to get some hype back to Adesanya.

Good point..
Then have winner at LHW fight Jon Jones at HW for triple champ shenanigans.

 

[Mind Mine]

How is it that you are crying hard about a damn rematch the man hasn’t even requested. His soul hasn’t even fully came back in his body and you dorks can’t wait. Have some respect for the recently deceased ya goof

 

[Adamant__]

Pena really got a title shot by sitting out. Unbelievable.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

It's not just about protecting Izzy. I'd assume it's cuz you can throw Pena in the trash and no one will care, but Alex still has potential as a LHW contender.

His dog probably has.

His dog probably has.

 

[RockyLockridge]

The better question is, Why would anyone want either?

 

[nonoob]

You ever see Izzy in a bikini?

Thankfully not. Just seeing him with pink nails and hair has been plenty.

 

[1rawdog]

Because top priority is placing all the crap, leftover fights on another vancouver card cause dana knows they will pay regardless of how shit the card is

 

[GSP_37]

He doesn't view the women as draws, so doesn't bother to protect the mystique and aura of any of them.
