I wanted to vote for Fighter Kevin Lee but couldn't find him in the poll....oh maybe next time.
or did he just bring it up once?get the media to keep talking about the weight class
Brought it up at least 3 times but they were all about a month ago. I missed where RDA said "no" that's probably when he stopped.Honest question: did he
or did he just bring it up once?
Cool. I only heard him say it once. I also didn't hear RDA say no.Brought it up at least 3 times but they wereall about a month ago. I missed where RDA said "no" that's probably when he stopped.
I saw a headline today quoting RdA saying no deals with the enemy. Don't blame him since it could be a trick, but not suggesting Kevin Lee is dirty. Big respect to Kevin for appreciating his mom, dad, bros and bringing them out of the bad neighborhood and with him to Nevada for a better life.Kevin Lee seemed to be trying to unofficially make the fight happen at 165lbs, to give the winner a headstart at the potential weight class in the future and to get the media to keep talking about the weight class to increase the likelihood of adding it.
I never saw RDA respond on of he accepted the 165 proposal from Lee.
So prediction time will either fighter show up at 165 tomorrow?
I for one don't really understand why the UFC is SO against a 165lb division. It gives them another division to fill cards with, another champion to promote, another champion to headline cards and the potential to have another breakout star. Imagine if the UFC never adopted the 145 lb. division and we never got McGregor at 145? Love him or hate him, he made the UFC a shitload of money, which is largely due to his success at 145. If 145 never existed, McGregor entering at 155 more then likely never would have become the star he was.Kevin Lee seemed to be trying to unofficially make the fight happen at 165lbs, to give the winner a headstart at the potential weight class in the future and to get the media to keep talking about the weight class to increase the likelihood of adding it.
