Now he is fighting Tarec Saffiedine but he looked great against Gunnar Nelson in 2014 and then disappeared... Was he injured?
 
"Story was expected to face Erik Silva on June 27, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 70 However, Silva was removed from the card on June 19, after visa issues restricted his entry to the United States. In turn, Story was removed from the card as well. The bout with Story was rescheduled and was expected to take place on August 23, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 74 Subsequently, Story pulled out of the bout on August 11 citing injury and was replaced by Neil Magny."
 
Lol at this fight happening. Neither him or Tarec can get through a training camp
 
Not sure, but I have heard that it was something horrible.
 
Demian Maia happened.

Crushed his soul, delayed reaction retirement.
 
lol at a fat slob joking about a fighter's injury.
Where is the joke? Doesn't both of these two have a hard time getting through a camp?

You dont know me or what injuries i've been hit with in my life so be quiet about that part. Grandpa.
 
I was just wondering that the other day. Tough kid. Always enjoyed watching him.
 
I'm pretty sure he's more haunted by the Brenneman loss.
I'm sure if given the choice he'd rather fight ole Charlie tomorrow than Maia.

But fair enough point, that was a terrible performance when he was expected to cement his place in the top 5.
 
Story is one of the most inconsistent fighters ever. Dude holds a win over Johnny Hendricks then loses to someone like Charlie Brenneman.

What happens to all "young juggernauts in board shorts"; act 3 of their script requires hype to cease and legitimate matchmaking to start occuring. Dana has more low-to-mid-tier (JTTS, relative to the org) fighters he has to make seem invincible, and dimishing returns comes into play once they past halfway through act 2.
