Anyone else super happy Movsar Evloev got snubbed of a TS?

[Sean Chowdhury]

can someone tell me how his last 4 fights were boring? Aljamain, Allen, Lopes, and Ige fights were high paced and with a lot of scrambles. I don't know how mma fans thought those fights were boring, the narrative that he is boring just because he goes to decision doesn't make sense, a decision doesn't necessarily mean the fight was boring

 

[BowserJr]

I don't know if I've ever hated a fighting style more than his.

Good thing you weren't around for Randy, Tito, Hughes, GSP, Fitch, Mendes, Woodley, Phil Davis, Bader, Hamill, Sonnen, Lindland and so many others

 

[SalvadorAllende]

No but not for his style (his match with Sterling was amazing).. but for his inactivity.

Lopes fights all the time.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

I didn’t like it because I thought Sterling should have got the win.

It was as close as it can be but irrc in the 3rd round the had basically the same control time with Sterling stalling and Evloev looking to attack.

I like Aljo and I was sad he said he might retire... hopefully he gets booked soon and starts grapplefucking people again.

 

[j18lee]

Mostly cause his fighting style is terrible, he robbed Arnold Allen, and he fights once a year.

Isn't that pretty much GSP?

BTW, I'm a big fan of GSP, but he pretty much made the term 50-45 someone.

 

[Koro_11]

Ok, but thats a different point. It was a good fight.

Sterling was able to put up a good fight cos of his grappling SKILL

so other motherfuckers have to "git gud" if they wanna win against this guy.

Ya, but fans don't have to wanna watch this dude eek out one lay n pray decision after another. If you wanna be such a purist that you only care about who can manage to get a "W", that's you... but you can't expect other people to be interested or share your enthusiasm.

 

[Sean Rhino]

Couldn't he just wait for the winner? I don't see how this is such an issue.

Also, I don't even think Evloev has a boring fighting style. It's just that he lacks finishes. Decisions don't automatically mean boring. Some of the greatest UFC fights we've seen were decisions.

His fights against Sterling and Allen were entertaining.

 

[Daniel Henry]

Ufc is in the entertainment business. He wins fights but his fights give me good power naps.

He's not getting fucked over he should be happy Dana doesn't cut his ass. He alrdy cut that undefeated Russian flyweight.

Dana cares less about your record and more who/what will apease the fans.

 

[World eater]

It should've been him vs Lopes for the vacant belt. Volk being gifted ANOTHER title shot this time being unwarranted is moronic.

By gifted you mean a late notice rematch to save a card against Islam once the original opponent pulled out and where he got murdered in round one? Yeah, taking that kind of a bullet for the company gets you favours.

 

[HHJ]

Wrestling is the strongest.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

He didn’t get snubbed. The fight was too close to ramadan so they likely didn’t bother asking him. And that’s no one’s fault but his own for being unavailable.

If he doesn’t get winner of this fight, then I’ll relent and agree that they’re screwing him. That said, I wouldn’t personally mind it because he’s boring af.

 

[Koro_11]

Wrestling is the strongest.

It’s also the gayest.

If it’s so strong how come so many champs are primarily strikers?

Shortage of wrestlers

 

[Luckyme]

No, you can make a case for either Diego, Volk, or Movsar. But as long as Movsar fights the winner of Volk vs Diego, then all is well. Even though he doesn't have any finishes, the fights with Aljo, Allen, and Ige were fast paced and super technical.

I wish we'd gotten Movsar vs Ilia as both are undefeated and no one has really challenged Ilia's grappling yet.

 

[VinceArch]

By gifted you mean a late notice rematch to save a card against Islam once the original opponent pulled out and where he got murdered in round one? Yeah, taking that kind of a bullet for the company gets you favours.

And how many are clamoring for another title fight involving Volk when he hasn't won in quite some time?

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Nah fuck you, I like MMA

he robbed Arnold Allen

That never happened.

There's always some moron who emphasizes the entertainment part of "sports entertainment" without addressing the idea that sports themselves are the entertainment. How bout between rounds, I jingle some plastic keys in front of the TV so it'll keep your attention. Sound good?

 

[Versez]

He's the John Fitch of FW

This is a good insult lol.

 

[Versez]

Ok, but thats a different point. It was a good fight.

so other motherfuckers have to "git gud" if they wanna win against this guy.

 

[Tweak896]

They are going to have to give him a title shot eventually. Not a fan of Evloev, but he's going to make sure FWs can wrestle atleast. Eventually someone's going to be able to keep it standing and light him up.
