The Sad Case of Renan Barao

[Deleted member 453401]

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Barao

I see it

 

[Mikeyz]

I couldn't agree more TS.

 

[Mikeyz]

What sad story? He fought, got dominated for 5 rounds and finished, and now gets a rematch.

What TS means is that before the TJ fight, alot of fans considered him #1 P4P and then when he got his ass kicked those same fans think he was never that good.

 

[MajJamil]

sherdoggers for ya.. you lose one and you're an overrated can

No one thinks that.

 

[trane]

No one thinks that.

This, who is even saying that? What's up with these sob stories

 

[Mikeyz]

No one thinks that.

I remember seeing threads about it even in the 5th round of that fight titled....... "Let's face it guys... Barao was never that good"

They obviously got deleted.

 

[VictorCosta]

He shouldn't have done that.

yes. no need to get into a fight unprepared to save UFC

 

[vicious01]

He should have fought another guy before taking the rematch, but who knows what if he wins his title back, does TJ get an immediate rematch?

 

[acidic]

Based off of accomplishments he deserves it, but the fight doesn't make sense to me right now. I think they should have given each of them another fight before a rematch.

 

[branchtan]

because he just got dominated, basically, tj's win didnt count

You aren't too bright are you? TJ's win didn't count, where was that even implied?

RB saved the UFC's ass by taking fights on short notice multiple times, now they are repaying the favor. Simple as that, deal with it chump.

 

[riddleofsteel]

What multiple times did Barao save a UFC card?
He pulled out of UFC 161
Faber stepped up at UFC 169 by replacing Cruz

 

[dmwalking]

fairweather fans. It is a shame that people are trashing him. But don't worry. He'll be back and remind everyone of how great he is. Even if he loses to TJ. I like TJ and would love for him to remain champ and look good doing it. But I also like Renan a lot and know that he's a monster. Win lose or draw, Barao is a killer and deserves respect.

 

[thedirewolf]

How quickly we forget how dominant a run that Renan Barao had before his fight with TJ and how quickly we forget that he had a whole month less of training to prepare for that fight with Dillashaw. I

 

[Steve08]

You may have actually just convinced me to change my opinion on this rematch.

Huh.

I still would've really liked to see Assuncao get the shot on the same card as Cruz vs. Barao though, with the winner of Cruz vs. Barao getting the winner of Raph/Dillashaw.

 

[ill0giKaL]

I agree, good thread ts.

 

[TheCoward]

I completely agree TS.

Luckily I Barao-lieve that his best days are ahead, not behind him.

 

[MrMeanor]

What sad story? He fought, got dominated for 5 rounds and finished, and now gets a rematch.

Agreed.

I thought Dana proclaimed the days of immediate rematches were at an end after Weidman/Silva 2? Fucking disgusting. These rematches are bullshit, there is no defending them, and worse - you can't trust a single fucking thing Zuffa tells you because they will flip flop on their position at a whim.
