All you are doing is feeding into whoever is the best shit talker or who has the most twitter followers getting the title shots instead of the actual best fighters...Michael Chandler should not have been anywhere near the title, yes he was good enough skill wise but giving guys like him a shot over the other guys who have killed themselves for the ufc and gone on long win streaks is killing our sport because now those guys on a streak need another fight and risk losing it and losing their title shot that they deserved more than the hype job. IMO if you hype that CM Punk kind of ufc money grab you are a cancer to our great sport and helping rob us of the best fights between prime fighters.
Heh, you need to breathe, kid.
First of all, I understand and agree with your point but not your explanation.
CM Punk never talked trash. If anything, he's always been very respectful towards the sport and his opponents.
Chandler was a champion at Belator and known as an elite fighter, so IMHO the UFC had good reason to start him against the top of the division. It would make no sense to have him start at the bottom. And even with an impressive win, he did not get a title shot, so again, I don't understand (or don't agree) with your point here.
But yeah. Colby shouldn't have gotten a title shot. Conor as well. Or Sonnen (against Jon) and so many others that got them by being popular or simply talking trash.
On the contrary. If people showed their anger towards these kind of title shots, UFC would stop doing that.
But alas, we live in a time where guys like Leon can't get a shot and fans agree with it because they don't like him/his style despite his impressive win streak.
That's because overall MMA fans collectively suck
