Also he was on like a ten fight KO streak or something ridiculous like that.Fair, but let’s not forget one of those was a top 10, the other a top 5 win. Both by nasty ko. Also coming in on a 10 fight winning streak as a Rizin defending champion.
I acknowledge that. But it would be disingenuous to not acknowledge that the UFC wanted him to champion. And helped facilitate Thant
I promise you if he was champion coming from another organization on ten fight streak but was lukewarm wrestler they would have made fight a bunch of unranked guys before getting a top 15 opponents. And we all know it
Yes Jiri is an exciting badass. And understand why he is given certain opportunities. It makes the sport more fun but hate when people turn their blinders on pretend that he and other popular fighters don’t receive blatant favoritism
