So you saying Umar didn’t deserve the TS is pretty dumb. That fight is what the fans wanted and Umar beat a top 5 opponent AND it was a fresh intriguing matchup.
You're phrasing it in a way that makes it seem like Umar is a no brainer, but you could just as easily say Umar only had one ranked in the UFC before he go this title shot. It wasn't like he was a Bellator or PFL champion either. He's not a no brainer based on merit, hes a no brainer for the UFC because he is easy to promote.
If he didn't have a marketable last name he never would have even fought Sandhagen in the first place. That fight in itself was a privilege. Umar got his title shot the same reason his brother got his so early in Bellator.
You absolutely could make an
argument that Umar was rushed into a title shot.
Also, you're also being disrespectful by painting Figgy as a can, he had done significantly more in the UFC at that point. It's obvious that if Figgy was more of a fan favorite he would have
gotten the title shot. We're literally talking about Yair vs Volk 2 over Volk vs Movsar strictly because of name recognition. If Figgy was a better known fighter, he would have gotten the title shot off his 2 ranked wins and recent championship reign. The UFC has had MANY people with Figgy's accomplishments get title shots.
You're trying to make it seem like Volk vs Yair 2 is different because Volk beat Yairs ass, but the thought process behind their fight, and literally every fight in the UFC is the exact same. Yair is more marketable and well known than Movsar. Most people on here dont want to see it, but if you asked a random fan, they wouldnt even know who Movsar was, so the whole "nobody wants to see this" relative to the Movsar fight (which is what Id want to see) is probably not true.
People who follow the sport closely might not want to see it, but people who follow the sport closely will watch
whatever fight they put. Despite popular belief, the people who run the UFC are more smart than most of the people here. I know you threatened to say you wont see the fight, but you're the minority, and quite frankly, youll probably see it (especially if you paid for it, which if you didnt, then it's irrelevant to them what you'd do).
