They do call each other out all the time. And I definitely wasn't acting like that. That's just your feels influencing the way you perceive what I said. You wanted to know when and where and all that. Well, the moment they both called each other out and seemingly both agreed to fight each other was in my opinion a good moment to make that fight happen. Seems pretty plain, simple and logical to me. I acted in a way to answer your question, not in a way to suggest fighters don't call each other out all the time.
Depends on the call out.
He didn't turn it down though.
Did he say that? Because in his post fight presser after the Hill fight, he said he had said to the UFC he wanted a fight at HW, but he wasn't going to name names, and would fight whoever the UFC wanted him to fight. That doesn't exactly sound like he will only change divisions for a titleshot. But guess what, both the interim and the official champ at HW can grapple, so either would be fine with me.
Do you even watch MMA, bruh? He has 5 fights at MW. That's more than Alex has at LHW.
I have only talked about grappling threat, bud. That
@HHJ can't differentiate (relax HHJ J/K) between wrestling and grappling is not my problem, I understood what he said and didn't feel a reason to correct him. But since you are acting like a child having to mock the argument by making it look like TFerg posted it on social media. I thought I'd make it clear, because you don't seem as level-headed and in-good-faith as
@HHJ was being.
I didn't say mismanaged. There you go with your emotions misinterpreting what is actually said. I said I am not a fan of the way his MMA career has been managed. That's something very different than it being mismanaged. On a level of fame and money, it has been managed extremely well. But I am not a fan of fame and money.
But that aside, that has nothing to do with him having to worry about it. I'm just giving my opinion and not once did I even imply he should care about my opinion. Nor that you should care but you obviously do, otherwise you wouldn't be this emotional.
I'm not acting like he is a nobody, you are just reading way too much into what I said and don't actually understand that there is no undertone you have to read into. I understand why they gave him an easy route to the champ. Doesn't change the fact thay it was an easy route and he didn't face any hard stylistic match ups, nor even a lot of opponents. Dude got fast tracked. Everybody knows this. No need to be defensive about it and try to spin it in a way that I clearly didn't say.
Him having had a very successfull career in kickboxing is for me not reason enough to only fight strikers in MMA. He should have stayed in kickboxing if that's all he wants to do.
Don't get me wrong I love kickboxing and was a kickboxing fan way before I was a MMA fan. I'm Dutch for Pete's sake. But I love MMA more than kickboxing, because it's closer to real combat and the spirit of the sport was to find out what styles work against what styles, etc. So only trying to fight one general style is simply against the spirit of the sport, IMO, and like I said before to
@HHJ, no one fighter is bigger than or above the sport, even if it's an awesome guy like Alex.
Glad you agreed.
I blame Dana mostly. He should not care that much about a fighter throwing a temper tantrum after a disappointing decision. Even though I don't agree with Ank's reasoning.
The dumb shit you thought you read was just your emotions misconstruing what I actually said.
Thank you. A handy tip for next time; since the last SD overhaul, you can just use the space bar inside a quote and it will automatically divide the quote into two sections.
Sorry, bud. I tried to keep it short and sweet at first. But Poatards can't handle any opinion about Alex except one that's only full of praise. I didn't even give him shit for it, didn't mock him, nor was I disrespectful in any way. I just said I wasn't a fan of one aspect of him. That's enough to grind gears on here. You know this place, bud.
