Everyone wants to be champ champ. In the past 2 years we have had Conor, GSP and DC. Once these guys became champ champ they all became extremely cautious and basically want easy fights.

Conor beat Eddie and wanted Diaz 3. He fought Floyd in boxing with nothing to lose and made Anderson money x100. He was linked with a fake WW title shot if RDA won.
{<Mcgoat}

GSP beat Bisping and instead of legitimizing the weak belt by beating the actual top MWs and interim champion he was diagnosed with piles and somehow it was healthier for him to cut way more weight to fight at WW or even LW against Conor or Nate Diaz.
<GSPWoah>

DC became the champ champ by beating Croatian born Stipe Miocic. Goes on to call out Shogun who needs crutches to walk. He is now linked with Corey "extra hours" Anderson. I literally can't think of a worse title fight.
<DC-Champ>

Does becoming the Champ Champ change fighters? And unrelated but is there a loophole in USADA testing?
 
That being said, you never get a second chance to be first and I would suggest you watch the documentary "Icarus" released last year relating to your USADA question, its an eye opener to say the least.
 
It is proven that being champ champ makes you an entitled brat.
 
Shit, this happens to everyone who wins UFC gold ever since they standardized championship pay.

Money has ruined this sport, we need to go back to when desperate hungry guys would literally fight to live.
 
Yes, money and power corrupt people, it's a tale as old as time. If you give me Conor McGregor money I would hire someone to off my ex in a heartbeat.

I got you.

How much?
 
GSP wasn't a champ champ.
 
"Croatian" born?

1. He was born in Ohio

2. Why is he the only person whose ethnicity you mention?

Back to topic
1. The winner of DC/Stipe was fighting Brock. Why do you think he was let in the cage?
 
DC has been a champ champ for 2 weeks, Conor held on to his belt for 2 years.

How about we wait a little longer and see what actually happens before we pass judgment?

GSP was never a "champ champ" so he doesn't fit here.
 
Just another "title"... Doesn't matter here unless you defend against a top contender... Which none have/are doing.
