Dana "We're not stripping Tony Ferguson"

I miss 2007-2012 mma a lot.

Everything was better. Cooler fighters, personality, big names everywhere. LHW was awesome.

MMA is all dorks now who trip over things and can’t fight during the summer or girls fighting.
 
I'm usually a supporter of Dana, he has done a tremendous job over the years to make the sport grow and many decisions he has made that people don't appreciate, have not necessarily been bad ones in the long run. However, what annoys me are all of these interim belts that are handed out left and right. RDA and Colby are fighting for an interim belt? What for? Wouldn't the winner be the number one contender? And why on earth would you keep an interm belt when you are crowning a new champ on Saturday? That is by far the dumbest thing I've heard in a while. And at the same time, Dana said in an interview recently that there is no way he's matching up Ferguson against Khabib again. This is of course something he likely said while still being pissed off at the situation, but he should work on being consistent with what he says and not say he won't match them up and the next week come out and say that Ferguson retains his pointless belt (= if Khabib wins, it's the fight that will be made).
 
He said they're not stripping him but that he's the #1 contender. So I guess they're stripping him but nothing about his status changes, so it's kinda like not stripping. Whether he is the interim champ or whether he is the nr1 contender, he'll get a shot probably as soon as he's healthy.

Maybe that's wishful thinking because I really don't like the interim belt fuckery.
 
And the excuses begin before the fight even starts. Fucking leprechaun...

What's the excuse lol. Its literally a fact.


Someone's triggered

UFC sucks.

Let’s just make rules up as we go
Fucking circus.
All the benefits of combining the sanctioning body with promoter. UFC lawyers once argued that their belts didn't represent a championship , but were just prizes given to fighters on that night.
 
The way i understood it was no we are not gonna strip him but we are, but hey you still got that contender spot kid.

They aren't stripping him the belt is just "going away"


Jesus Christ. Can't even get a straight answer out of Dana. No strip, strip, no strip but title """"goes away""""".... okay then. They're now fallen to playing semantics games.
 


So Ferguson keeps his interim belt while Max and Khabib fight for the "undisputed" belt

what the fuck is going on


(and there very existance of the interim belt means that the title IS "disputed")

Conor - lw champ aka cash cow
Tony - intermchamp #1 contender
Winner of khabib vs max - undisputed people champ

Ufc now you have 3 ways to make money champ fights In the future. when one or two of the 3 champ are hurt, you still have championship fight. well played Dana.
 
Interim Belt- Tony Ferguson

Official Belt - Khabib Nurmagomedov

Money Belt - Conor McGregor

People's Belt - Max Holloway
 
Tony doesn't care about the belt anyways.
He's still got his Ultimate Fighter trophy that he keeps shined up real nice.
Anyone can win a belt, but not everyone can win an Ultimate Fighter Trophy...:rolleyes:

Fuck you.

Why do you care.... I'm sure in other threads you complain about fighter pay.

This was no ones fault it keeps it a title fight and makes sure Tony can fight a belt as the champ and earn PPV.

Fuck you
 
They aren't stripping him the belt is just "going away"



I'm sure this makes Tony feel so much better. He can now tell people "I wasn't stripped, my title just went away".
 
they'll probably let conor keep his belt too and have 3 belts, wouldn't surprise me at this point
 
But then they have to make the fight a 5th time despite what Dana already said... Jesus the mess rankings are these days....
