Volk vs Lopes 2
Paddy vs Gaethje interim
And now rumored Islam for Usman for 326


Seems that with the new paramount era - merit is now being thrown to the wayside completely.

Are you in favour of it? Against it? Discuss.

My personal opinion I think it's officially descended straight into boxing type BS now.
 
People here always harp on about "the best fighters" and meritocracy and all that, but UFC doesn't give a fuck. They aren't even trying to hide it anymore. Instead of riling yourselves up, why not just sit back and enjoy the circus?

Some Sherdoggers enjoy practicing being clowns. That's good for them

Only play left now, unfortunately. Guess the MMA from 20 years ago is officially dead.
 
Theyre going for "entertainment" now over "sports".
Its ok i guess. We shall see!

For sure this incentivize "exciting" fighters. Whether by fight style or personality. We wont get much boring fights anymore (or lesser boring fights) on the UFC screens

They don't realize that they're also incentivizing protected matchups and inactivity. I feel like no amount of short term benefits makes teaching a monkey to shoot you in the foot a good idea

I was literally just saying to my wife that I may have to stop watching the UFC completely. Volk vs Lopes 2 makes no sense. Volk just beat Lopes decisively, has Movsar and Murphy as legit challengers. Why not just book Volk vs Logan Paul or Tyson Fury instead?

Arman is clear as day the #1 contender at LW. He weighed in as an official backup for the last title fight, beat Hooker since no one else at LW would fight him and stated he is 100% ready and willing to fight in Jan. So of course they book Gathje vs Paddy for an interim. Buys Ilia a year and if Arman doesn't fight in the meantime morons will cry Arman is inactive so he can't have a title shot.

Islam had 1 of his 4 title defenses against an actual top 5 ranked LW and now they want to give him the WW Stipe in Kamaru Usman???

I hope the next show the UFC creates is
"Where on Earth is Joe Silva"
