Dana Says Interim WW Title Could be Up for Grabs Again

[TITS]

Seems like Tyrone is ducking again so Dana is whipping out the interim belt again (per is interview on TSN).

Usman is in.

If Colby bitches out who should Usman fight for the Interim?

Looks like only Santiago Ponzy would make sense.

so either

USman vs Colby for interim title or Usman vs Ponzy for Interim Title.

Don't post your sources or anything.

Willingness to fight an easy fight but not a harder fight against someone who is actually in your division is in fact ducking. Especially when he's the top guy.

I'd LOVE to hear why it isn't

I just gave you the context to make the distinction and you completely disregarded it.

So what's the point in arguing about it?

Then what was the point of taking it from Colby in the first place?

I don't even like the little cretin but he's been fucked over for no reason here

Well at least he got fucked...
I mean not even porn sloots fucks him. So good on Colby getting some..

Barao defended his interim belt twice.

Haha, was about to say the same thing. Once you have to defend it it really isn't an interm title anymore though.

The whole Interm Title thing is just pointless, especially now when winning one doesn't even ensure you are the #1 contender anymore and guaranteed the next shot at the undisputed champ in there next fight. It's become nothing more than a cheap ploy to say an event features a "Title fight".

Strip him and any champ who can't fight within 7 months (so he has until April). This should be policy. It's in place to allow active fighters opportunities. If you are out for some reason, tough luck. Only combat sports hold onto champs, everything else, you have to be there.
I have suggested a pyramid ranking. Champ on top, then 2 next line down, then 3 and so on. Anybody from two rows below can challenge. If you can't fight, either trade spots with the other guy or get put to the bottom.

I thought Woodley was down for the Covington fight? Wth is Dana doing? Make that fight happen! Usman gets the winner.

 

[boss429]

if it gives us either Usman vs COlby or Usman vs Ponzy for 5 rounds why are you guys complainin?

Cause they can give us that by making it a fight night main event without creating another useless belt to try and sell it as a PPV. Seems pretty obvious really.

[Jon Stark]

Agreed. Enough of this shit. Tyron fought 3 months ago ffs. He has defended 4x in 2 years. That is the most active champ in the UFC aside from DC.

More like he’s defended once in 15 months and is holding up the division.

 

[aali14]

After what the UFC's been doing, does being an interim champ matter? It used to guarantee a title shot next.

 

[DC23]

What a joke that division has become. Seriously. It's like the UFC are cool with Woodley being the part time champ and the rest fighting for the 2nd belt.

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

Should make Gunnar vs Oliveira for the interim belt. I know they aren't ranked high enough but fuck it. Would much rather see one of them get the belt than another boring wrestler.

I just gave you the context to make the distinction and you completely disregarded it.

So what's the point in arguing about it?

Your "context" is just the excuse the fighter uses. Its ducking. Just because the reason is easy fights that make more money than hard fights that dont are better for the champ doesn't make it not ducking. Woodley ducked colby. DC ducked... Geez so many. Jones, gus, stipe even yoel.

When asked about the next title fight at welterweight, the UFC President couldn’t help but take another shot at the current champ, Tyron Woodley.

“Tell me when Woodley does want to fight. This is always an issue with Woodley. We’re going to move on,” White told TSN. “That division is stacked, we’ve got a lot of good talent

“Whether Woodley fights or not, we’ll end up making a fight with some of the best guys in the division,” he said. “Could be (an interim title).”

[Krixes]

Everyone's getting a belt for Christmas....

 

[Fight Professor]

He should strip Woodley then.

 

[joeyjoejoe]

Belts everywhere but we can’t get a fucking tournament lol.

 

[D'z]

I used to hate Woodley. Not so much anymore.

Dana, well Dana's still a scumbag.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

This shit has to stop. Just wait til Tyron is back ffs. The guy has been active.

 

[podsox]

Dana was critical of both woodley and Covington
