He was going to school to be an actor. And he sucked. So now hes a bottom to mid teir ufc commentator.
Felder is in a different category. He's all but retired with 1, maybe 2, fights left. In this sport, you and I both know that fighters pick and choose fights in the best of times - trebly so for fighters on their last leg like Felder. He gets a pass.
He doesn't get a pass because it's "right" or "wrong", but because there is no right or wrong. This matchmaking shit is half art half science, and Dana keeps it that way for his own benefits, and fighters unfortunately have to live in that world.
The "OMG ducking Islam" threads have been made daily for a year now. Maybe they should all just end with the message here:
"...they decided Islam will smash everyone the UFC offers and this will force a title shot...."
And I agree with them; Islam needs to stop whining and keep fighting whoever, 3-4x a year, and keep winning, and keep proving everyone wrong, and it'll eventually pay off. Like Oliveira did.
I'm guessing this is not the message that @Ackmed was trying to deliver in that thread lol but it's the message I heard!
Felder is strong tis true, but something tells me that if he fights Chandler, he is going to get wrestlefucked (where chandler has a distinct advantage) and lose some rounds like that. Gaethje will be a standup war though for sure. That's where I was coming from. I'm down for either match up though.
In a three rounder, perhaps. Five rounder fight night, Chandler loses
Definitely not something he should be proud of. Perks of being a company man I guess.
This such selective thinking. Dober lost to Brooks like 10 years ago on the regional scene. How is that relevant? Your also missing arguably his best win in Arman. Im guessing you're just trolling though to discredit Islam, because you're post is scrambled and doesn't have a clear point at all.
Moose is just trolling. He likes to take potshots at supposed ufc shills
eh, I don't even see it as ducking though. He said a couple of years ago he was pretty much done fighting, would only come back for fun or interesting fights. He said as much after the Hooker fight. I think he stepped in on short notice at one point to help out the UFC. He's a full time commentator now so he probably shouldn't even be ranked, but that's not on him.
You gotta have a pretty low IQ to think that’s a legitimate reason as to why people don’t want to fight Islam. These same fighters that are apparently worried about Islam pulling out are accepting fights during a pandemic when any fight could be called off due to a positive Covid test from either side.
