woodley’s stock plummeted

[IsNormal]

It's an interesting topic - how is fighter's stock is affected by their opponents losing.

Even though Maia's last fights makes Woodley's win seem less impressive - we can't forget the amazing win streak Maia had before that with 7 straight and wins over Magny, Condit, Brown, Masvidal.
We can't really tell if the last 2 losses should overshadow that and indicate that the blueprint was there all along. Or if Woodley paved the way, and Maia got a bit worse.

But when it comes to Woodley's status I would argue his 4 last fight had VERY high status challengers.
In fact, Woodley beat Maia, Lawler and Wonderboy at just the PERFECT time to "get the most out of it". All those 3 guys pretty much were at the peak of their careers status wise when they faced Woodley.

Right now, I'd argue that no WW contenders are quite at that same level yet.

So Woodley sure racked up the points when the time was right.
(Even though most of the fights were boring, you can't fault the level of opposition)

Woodley will crash like he did in SF: he works well when he has nothing to lose and works poorly when he has everything to lose. Now that he is champ, he is ducking, dodging and doing the bare minimum; it acts as a window in to his mind and lets you know how he really operates, why he was 10x more talented than Askren but accomplished 1/10th of what Askren did in wrestling, and at the same school.

Woodly is a very dislikable champion due to his feeling of entitlement, like the world owes him and we should feel blessed to see him fight.

Can you blame him? He is a black man who grew up in poor Ferguson. The entitlement and victimhood is how the media has programmed blacks day one. Even freakin' Kanye knows this blatantly apparent truth.

learn to read... never said worthless .... I only think that his last win is not as impressive at this point and its not easy to come back after one year off against guys younger and hungrier than him.





that t wood is long gone.... he is in love with being champ and wont take no risks.

so Woodley beating maia means less than when cloby did it. to me a win is a win period.

so when rda crushes Colby what does that make usman win over maia mean

Seems damn unlikely. Do you even know what a majority decision is?

 

[Joshuaace]

So you don't either LOL.

Majority decisions only happen when at least 1 judge scores the fight a draw. Damn unlikely. Nice try twit.

Did you mean unanimous decision? Split Decision? KO? Submission?
Any of the above would be way more likely.

You seemed entertained enough when you attempted to make me look stupid. Did making yourself look stupid take the fun out of it?

I don’t know if you’re just a bad troll or the joke went over your head. It seems other people understood it.

It’s okay if you didn’t though. Some of us are quicker than others. You did it to yourself, not me.

Toss the towel, it's really all you got left. Juvenile insults did not get the job done for you.
