Its funny. But these guys get to the belt. Get this bug of knowing they wont be there forever and just become bitches.
Oh i want this money fight or this guy I "respect" which really means "hes easy money".
UFC needs to get back to championship fights with a purpose besides money. Make it about the best vs best.
Shogun was the best 8 years ago. Just not the case anymore

DC fighting Shogun would be like picking on a crazy homeless guy that keeps talking about how great life was 10 years ago.
DC is the bum fights cherry picking champion. Won't give the ex champ a rematch. Won't fight Alex "White Bones" Gustaffson. Wanted to molest Shogun.

lol at all you keyboard cucks calling DC a bitch -
DC fought Anderson Silva on three day's notice
DC fought Rumble Johnson twice
DC fought Volkan, dangerous unknown contender
DC moved up in weight when it took GSP ten years to do it and champs like MM and Nunes are too scared to move up
DC just beat the UFC HW GOAT and broke his hand - you really think he's in any shape to defend a belt soon???

if DC isn't willing to defend against Gus, which his latest insta post suggests, then they should just strip DC of the LHW title. Gus has said and done some really dumb shit (like this pulling outta 227 debacle 15 minutes after lionheart calls him out) but any other contender at LHW fighting for the title at this point is a joke.
Who does DC expect to defend against now that shogun is still fighting off marc goddard and he wants no part of Gus? DC/Latifi? DC/Blachowicz? DC/Corey Anderson? if DC actually wants to defend his LHW title any contender other than Gus is an absolute joke despite the stupid shit Gus continues to do.
Maybe the UFC can do the unexpected and book a crazy matchup between DC/Yoel or Bones gets a one year retroactive suspension and gets another shot at DC

DC is past his prime but a legitimately elite athlete.
The upper weight divisions rarely see elite athletes because men that size aren't attracted to the sport of MMA because the base pay at the highest level of the sport is 12k to get your head punched in.
Jones doesn't accidentally have two brothers in the NFL. He has elite genetics, but still in his prime. The only guy to beat DC was also elite, just younger. DC would need to be 30 years old to see how that fight really goes.
When one single guy with truly elite genetics and still in his prime trips and falls into MMA, we consider him the greatest of all time. Other sports are populated entirely with Jon Jones. His brothers aren't GOATS in the NFL, they are just guys in the sport.

Mitrione highlights how low the overall talent and athleticism is in heavyweight MMA.
We're talking about men in their 30's with unsuitable backgrounds fighting with success at the highest level, despite being on their third athletic career.
some one who facts for once.

i respect DC, and all the fighters that i'm about to talk somewhat disparagingly about, but i hate the way the champions get to pick their fights now a days.
that shouldn't even be a thing. it's not YOUR belt, it's not YOUR championship, it's the UFC's. if the UFC says you fight Stipe before you fight Brock, then you just accept it. all these champions who keep asking for specific guys is really ludicrous in my opinion. i'm sure JDS could've been a champion for a long time if he just kept picking to fight the Mark Hunt's and the Stefan Struve's of the division and avoided fighting Cain. but because JDS is a TRUE champion, he met every challenger head on.
you can negotiate and try to get certain fights BEFORE you're the champion, but once you're the champion your career trajectory is clear. you fight the #1 contender in every fight you retain the belt. it is simple.
like i said, i respect Cormier, GSP, Tyron Woodley, and all the other champions accused of cherry picking, but this shit has to stop, they weren't like that before.

GSP only moved up because Bisping was champ. He'd never do it if Whittaker, Jacare, Silva or Romero were title holders. As Dana said, GSP cherry picked Bisping and ran off. He didnt want to defend against Whittaker even though he said he would and his contract said he would. Nobody was surprised
