Why Al and not Felder?

[PedroPoundsWell]

Just curious as to why Iaquinta gets the fight but not Felder?

 

[Gilday]

The NYSAC said that the ranking difference was too much and wouldn't allow it

I'm serious...

 

[kabanos]

bcoz NYSAC are a.bunch of irrelevant idiots

 

[VVarhead]

Iaquinta is higher ranked than Felder.

Why not? Makes more sense.

 

[Chad W]

Felder got treated like the red-headed step-child

 

[sgtrocknroll]

Don't worry, Felder got paid!........

 

[ChaelSonnen]

Because Felder got ragdolled by featherweight BJJ specialist Charles Oliveira. End of story.

 

[Frozen Sea]

No idea, all 3 of Al's losses come by submission.

Would've preferred Felder

Felder sucked UFC's dick for this long and got cucked. Meanwhile Iaquinta did the opposite and got that fight. Lol the Irony.

 

[DLX]

Is this not a better fight? Felder would easily get wrestle fucked. It would be a repeat of Khabib vs Edson.

UFC wanted to give Felder the fight but the New York commission said Felder sucks too much to fight Khabib.

cause nysac is a clown show. they said cause the ranking is why paul fielder couldn't try to fight.

They could have made Felder vs Khabib then they could have made Al vs Pettis. Pettis and Felder are friends so they won't fight. This is dumb

Respect to the NY commission for acting like a commission. The NSAC or the UFC (when in Brazil) will sign any garbage matchups.

Conor vs Mayweather. Schevchenko vs someone no one has ever heard of. These are examples of incompetent/corrupt athletic commissions. The NSAC forbidding this pointless late replacement in Felder for a title fight is actually an example of an AC doing its job in the face of the UFC desperately attempting to bully their way into a last-minute filler fight to avoid more financial loss.
