Most of yous picked Kattar to beat him, but Moicano smoked him. Landed 116 strikes in a clinical performance, 30-27 30-27 29-28.

But instead of fans jumping off Kattars bandwagon for Moicano, they instead jump on Zabit's. Who also won on the same card 30-27 30-27 29-28, against much worse competition than Moicano faced. And if both fights were 5 rounds, only 1 of the 2(Moicano & Zabit) would've still won.

The media does ZERO stories on
Moicano but endless articles and segments on their podcasts about Zabit. It's funny how Puke Thomas, Breen, Helwani etc all cry racism toward the fans at times but they are the ones favoring the less proven white guys. O'Malley over Perez(who just beat Lopez quicker than #3 Assuncao) & Till over Usman are other examples.

Does the mainstream mma media(zero dark skinned men) project their own racist views upon the fans to cover for themselves, subconsciously?
 
He’d likely be fighting for title if he didn’t slip up vs Ortega

He was winning all three rounds and decided to go for that takedown with 1 minute left in the fight, against a guillotine specialist..... oh boy.
 
You got us,TS. We hate dark people

Did better vs Ortega than Cub or Frankie. Beat Stephens. Yet the Rankings, whom the media votes on, has:

Moicano at 9

Stephens at 5

Cub at at 4

Edgar at 3
 
It’s a show and you’re surprised the flashy guy gets more attention?

Why do people keep arguing that the result would be different if it was a 5 rd fight? If you have anything left after 3 then you didn’t try hard enough and fucked yourself.

That was honestly as bad as when Thiago Alves did it vs Martin kampmann

It’s funny how one minor slip up put him below Jeremy in title talks. But jeremy is also on a hot streak.

Moicano vs Aldo would’ve been a great fight to make.

Ever hear of Jon Jones, Ngannou or DC? They get plenty of coverage. DC even has a prominent job on FOX. You seem like the one who is race obsessed here.
 
There's definitely a lot of racial bias in MMA, and sports in general, but I don't think this is it.

Fox is the only non-racist mma media. Who else has hired dark-skinned people to work for them? Not junkie, mmafighting, yahoo or espn.

It was a joke anyway you mark

Lol I know I'm just trolling because the media Likes to make that case when we don't like Woodley or Jones or buy MM ppvs.
 
he really hasn’t done anything to separate himself from the pack
 
He's a hell of a fighter. I've picked him to win every fight he's had in the UFC, but some people have the "it" factor, and he's not one of em.

He reminds me of Marquardt in his complete lack of charisma.

He still should be ranked higher though, I agree.

Well, they're not necessarily wrong either. Doesn't mean it's the only thing driving that, but it definitely doesn't help.
