Why doesnt UFC bring the legend back ?

[Rank Squatter]

Man id love to see DJ Mighty mouse back

dude was all around beast and dopest fighter skill wise imo

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

I don't see the UFC being willing to pay him what he is worth. He didn't even get PPV points for most of his fights as champion.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

He gets good money in ONE and seems very happy there.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Same reason they let him go

 

[pick999]

Because ufc is racist

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

The athletic commissions won’t allow him to fight Amanda, and the fans don’t really care about any other matchup for him

 

[TempleoftheDog]

He’s probably happier in ONE. And the UFC probably wouldn’t pay him enough to jump ship.

In the end, it’s probably best for all 3 parties.. DJ, ONE, and the UFC.

They traded him for a better fighter in Askren. Why would they want him back

 

[AmonTobin]

Paying Askren to get flatlined for one of their most prized highlight clips was worth more to them than having one of the greatest on their roster.

i don't think the ufc itself gives a shit about flyweight. or even bantamweight that much, for that matter. they start giving a shit at featherweight. and then only when conor is involved.

Is that a Yoel Romero as a teenager?

Do Sean O'Malley, Dominick Cruz or Henry Cejudo ring a bell?

2nd place concerns for them, or 3rd. they couldn't have cared less about cejudo, i wonder if they even notice he's gone. cruz for a while, at least in the beginning, but a lot of that was riding on the juicy rivalry with faber. o' malley is just a better option than someone like yan.

like i said, bantamweight is borderline. but they definitely don't care if flyweight even exists or not.

Askren was more popular

I would love to see them breakout the money and bring him back

Not sure you come up with that one. It is one of the most diverse sports out there.

 

[knees2ribs]

Because he's a dwarf and nobody wants to watch midgets fight lol
