That wouldn't be a bad idea, it's just MM who's been there for years and as good as he is, he doesn't move the needle no matter how well he has done.After he wins his next fight, there is literately nothing left for him at 125. I'm hoping the UFC folds that division all together..
Fights against known 135ers will draw more interest. At least from my prospective.That wouldn't be a bad idea, it's just MM who's been there for years and as good as he is, he doesn't move the needle no matter how well he has done.
I just think Tj needs 1 good outing and he's right back to the title, waiting for a title shot might not be a good idea at the moment. Either way Tj is still at the top.Fair enough, I guess he's willing to fight at less than 100% if it's for the title, but not another fight, as the risk outweighs the reward. Don't agree though, even as a TJ fan.
Waiting for a title shot never seems to work out. He'll wait, get injured and be out for an extended time. Others like Sterling will pass him up. That being said I hope he stays healthy!I just think Tj needs 1 good outing and he's right back to the title, waiting for a title shot might not be a good idea at the moment.

That's exactly what happened to Rashad when he was waiting for the Shogun title shot. Injured and had to fight his way back against some killers.Waiting for a title shot never seems to work out.

Yep that's who I was thinking of. I know every fighter wants to be champ but you are only in your prime for so long. You only have so many pay days. Not everyone is going to get the Hughes and Liddell treatment by the UFC and get a made up job. If you are healthy, go collect a paycheck ! That being said, it's TJ's career not mine.That's exactly what happened to Rashad when he was waiting for the Shogun title shot. Injured and had to fight his way back against some killers.
I agree that Faber doesn't deserve the shot, but the immediate rematches need to stop. You don't need to beat the champ twice to be the champ.TJ deserves the rematch over Faber so much, it's actually pretty silly.

I agree, when you decisively win. He didn't, hence the rematch. I don't think Cain, Aldo, Weidman, Rousey, Holm, etc., deserve an instant rematch.
The only time that I think it's ok is in the case of a draw or a highly contentious decision i.e. machida/shogun, gsp/Hendricks, or lawler/conditI say it depends on how close the fight was and how interesting the next fight in the division is. In this case I would have been fine with TJ getting the rematch.
There are always new contenders coming in. Remember Dana is out looking for a fightAfter he wins his next fight, there is literately nothing left for him at 125. I'm hoping the UFC folds that division all together..
I heard snakes are good with chokes.Is TJ good with anaconda chokes?
