Am i missing something?!?

[HHJ]

It's not about passing the torch it's about playing your role as a champion somebody gave Topuria a chance to be champion by beating the other champion

Oh PLEASE


All of this you are talking about it is total bullshit

This isnt the Ultimate FAVORS championship

These men are bludgeoning each other for money.

 

[Paolo Delutis]

TS all due respect but mi nuh rate massive wt cuts ting dangerous pacifically fi di brain CTE real fam

Lol .. but who says he has to cut so much weight he's choosing that he has control of his own body weight him is saying I don't want to cut so much weight and that's why I'm relinquishing the title is like saying I can't control myself enough to be a champion..lol ..

I'm against big weight cuts I've always have been I think nobody should be cutting more than 10 lb at a maximum..

This just wreeks ike excuses

 

[Senbonzakura]

Ilia looked just as thick as Emmett does at 45. I'm actually not surprised he is taking his talents up to 55 but more that UFC is moving away from multi division champs now. I think its a good move and brings more honor to the division and less hold ups

This is very casual of you lol..

Do better...

Can't make weight i's just the excuse they are running with. Otherwise he will have to say the UFC isn't supporting him and is forcing him to vacate

 

[rorschach51]

TS, you are missing something. It has been explained to you more than a few times in your thread here, but you seem so annoyed by Topuria's decision to vacate and move up that you won't hear it. He's not trying to get a title fight while keeping the FW division stalled out, he's vacating and pushing all his chips in for a go at LW with no fallback plan. If he loses he can go back to FW if he wants, but it won't be as the champ. That takes big balls that a lot of champions haven't showed in awhile.

 

[Bret 'The Hitman' Hart]

He did the right thing.

He has issues making weight in the FW division so he vacated the belt and moved up in a super tough division instead of blaming everything and everyone for missing weight at 145. That's ballsy and respectable.

 

[Wreckless]

Can't make weight i's just the excuse they are running with. Otherwise he will have to say the UFC isn't supporting him and is forcing him to vacate

That is likely the real reason. They made him vacate if he wants to pursue another belt. Which is fair.

The division gets to move on and everyone is happy.. Except TS.

 

[tritestill]

I could not imagine being a grown adult male and coming to the Internet to moan about this. Yes it's you. It's your warped perception, paradigm, vantage point. Give it up and please be quiet. Us real fans have serious matters to discuss and this is childish.

This is like one of those bad troll jobs by a fake account white belt who recently got banned or is trying to avoid being banned from their real account, except you are writing serious retorts and nobody is really reading them (least I am not) because it's just delusional.

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

At first I was like hell yeah Paolo Delutis!​

But then I went, you are not wrong HJJ!
Thread is clearly not functioning for me so I will just mash you both together and never visit it again.

I'm seeing a lot of people celebrating Topuria decision to vacate the tile and go up to 155 because he can't make the weight anymore.



Am I missing something are we celebrating guys inability to make weight now and he quits before he gets his ass kicked because his gas tank will be shit ...


He doesn't deserve anything at 155 he hasn't earned nothing he's new to the division give him a top five contender first..



I'm sorry but this looks really bad on the sport and this looks really bad in the UFC that they would even entertain their champion just giving up the belt because I can't make the weight anymore that's like the softest shit I've ever heard are you a professional or not make the weight.
.
Don't get me wrong if he wants to change his division then change divisions but you're not getting no damn title shot when you give up your belt for such a shit reason ..


Im Not impressed

If you only knew, bud.

 

[Qays Stetkevich]

he didn't hold up the division so that's respectable at least, and I agree that he should fight a top 5 contender first like arman or charles

This and this. Not holding up the division, and having a belt to fall back on, is a boss move, love him or hate him.

 

[Bork Neslar]

Some people here just find all kinds of reasons to idolize fighers... it's kind of cringy.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Completely professional to acknowledge that you can't make weight. Why show up dehydrated possibly lose and get extra brain damage. What would be stupid Is lose your belt on the scales. Thats dumb. Moving up is the professional thing to do.

"Am I missing something."
Yes you are. Lopes and Evloev are tough matchups without the big name recognition as Max and Volk. Ilia has high risk, low reward fights ahead of him. The Evloev matchup is the one he doesn't want. Evo is a nightmare matchup for him.

 

[prime_lobov]

When you have a 25 pound dick and balls it’s difficult to make 145

 

[HHJ]

145 rarely gets to have a champion that wants to stay there it seems

155 got more money fights

This is my exact point lol..

U either are the man or your not...Topuria out here proving he's not ...because he cant control his own body weight apparently...


Thats why im saying i dunno why people are celebrating this ..

Seems like the UFC is done with champ champ fights

Thread 'Diego Lopes: UFC has made it clear than anyone wanting to be double champ must now vacate first'

Feb 22, 2025

“They were very clear to us that they said that they are no longer giving [the] chance to jump from one weight class to another,” Lopes said. “If you want to move up, you have to vacate your title. That’s what UFC has said to all champions who are planning to move up a weight class. They will no longer have the status of double champion simultaneously.

“If he is going to be a double champion, [he] will be nothing more than a champion of two categories.”...
