Why is the UFC so against Cory vs Sean?

[BowserJr]

Looks like Cory was offered Figgy. Seriously WTF?

Sean vs Cory is such a great and interesting stylistic matchup.

I know a lot of fans have been begging for this fight for years.

Cory should've gotten the shot over Marlon. There really is no excuse right now

Sean is out for a year

Sean is out for a year

What he said.

 

[pick999]

Protection

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

But according to BowserJr that is not an excuse.
So we will just have to bring him back from the hospital for it.

Pretty sure this is why

Yup

[BowserJr]

Sounds like he's ducking

As the first response said Sean is out for up to a year. You want Cory to wait?

 

[Skarsgard]

Same reason the UFC never booked Frankie vs Conor. The risk of another bad outing for a marketable fighter is too great.

Sean is ducking

Figgy vs Sandhagen is the fight to make. When Sean decides to come back he can earn a title shot with a number one contender match against whoever at that point.

Because Cory would absolutely have his way with Sean

If Sean sits out after that humiliating loss, baring in mind his manufactured run to the title and only defence, there is absolutely no way he should walk into a no. 1 contender match.

He should have to earn something for just about the first time in his UFC career

 

[SamuraiBro]

Pretty sure this is why

Yeah I don’t think this fight will be anywhere as exciting as some people think.

Wouldn't bother me any either way. As long as the division moves on I'm happy.

 

[markys00]

Maybe they have tried

Sean's out.

Corey wanted that fight and is bummed Sean has to get surgery.

Yan has raised his hand to fight Corey but Corey said he's dubious if he will make it to fight in December after Yan's knee surgery, which is the month Corey wants to fight (or asap really)

When asked of fighting Cejudo Corey didn't like that idea and seemed pissed about the prospects of Cejudo getting another big fight for doing nothing. (Kind of a primadonna on that one if I'm being honest..)

So I guess he wants to wait until Yan is ready some time early next year.

 

[filthybliss]

because Corey ain't all that. There are only 4 contenders really left.
