Colby is getting a title shot off beating Jorge, when Belal, Khamzat, and Shavkat are the real contenders. Colby is just being brought in for name recognition, shit talking and hype and the casuals will eat it up. It a shame that its becoming more and more of the norm.
They had Poatan run away from 185 to save Izzy's star power, only for it to backfire against them when Sean beat Izzy.
Jones only went up to HW after Ngannou left for more money.
I would bet on Sean O'Malley to lose against Merab, Cory, Chito, Yadong, Umar. Bellators Patchy Mix probably beats him too. He just got shoved down our throats until he actually got a good win. His win over Aljo is legit, but most of his career is hot garbage can crushing. He lost to Yan without a doubt.
The UFC is doing really well financially, but right now it kind of sucks to be a fan above except for 145 and 155. The GSP and Silva era, and even the Fox era has been better than the ESPN/Endeavor era. There have always been questionable decision making when it comes to match making, but its so much more prevalent and obvious now.
I know we are amazed by Strickland beating Izzy, but in actuality, if this fight happened at the lower level and they didn't have names, the fight would have been horrible. We were only entertained because it wasn't likely to happen, but it wasn't like Sean had some revolutionary performance. It was a low volume fight without much action and most of the strikes missed.
The only guys who are really living up to being the best in the world are Volk and Islam. They are truly the #1 guys in their weight class( for the time being) who don't duck anyone or are given favorable match-ups. They are savages. Everyone else is a diva until proven otherwise.
