It's crazy how DC has gotten away with this with little criticism from fans. He held a whole division up for ages for a Brock pay day and whilst people said it was a stupid fight the common response was it was good DC was getting a pay day (as of he's skint or something)
Hope Stipe KOs him personally
I kinda agree but to be honest you can also make the case that there were no other real contenders. Stipe in my opinion deserved a rematch but I UFC will always look for the bigger pay day and from DC's position, why not take the easier and more lucrative fight? Instead of taking a fight where he decisively won.
Yeah maybe so but I'd argue literally every other heavyweight is more deserving.
For all the criticism Bisping got with GSP, McGregor fighting whoever he wants etc this is just as bad and no one has really said anything
Completely agree with your first point. Brock has no business even stepping in the cage let alone fighting for the belt. But unfortunately, money talks.
As for your second point, I think people give DC leeway. McGregor and Bisping are polarizing characters, easy to hate. DC is generally an upstanding guy that has only two defeats, to an absolute drug cheating cnut. But he HAS held up the division and it's getting on my nerves.
You're right about Jones but DC was only too keen to fight another in Brock.
Good point. feck DC. Cry baby wimp
Yeah I'd agree with what you say definitely. I was never a huge DC fan but he won me over the last few years but recently I've been put put off him again cos of this
Completely gone off him. Whine, whine, Jones this, Jones that, whine whine.
You forgot "Cain Velasquez is the best fighter ever"
Yeah, par for the course i suppose. Don't mind gym loyalty, but still a tad annoying.
He's as much a dick as many others in many ways but i do respect him as a fighter though. He's a phenomenal competitor, the fat bastard.
Don't particularly like his colour commentary - too excitable for me. Cruz wins hands down in that role.
This I dont mind. As long as he's with a calmer head beside him. Cruz is the best though.
The 4th of July weekend card has to be one of the best ever imo
UFC Ottawa early prelims about to start.
This heavyweight clash should be fun.
SHANE BURGOS (30-27, 29-28) DEF CUB SWANSON (30-27) BY SPLIT DECISION
Looks weird. How can one judge have it 30-27 and another one 27-30?

It happens pretty frequently. (either he is getting paid to do that or some betting mafia has kidnapped his family)
I don't buy he mixed the name of the fighters or that he really saw it that way.
COME ON COWBOY!!!!
feck yeah! Cowboy making Al look average.
What a fight.
What a fight.
Cowboy is a legend, always entertaining!
Great main event!
Should've been asleep, but feck me that was worth it.
The chin on Iaquinta, though!

Iaquinta is annoyingly hard to KO.
As listeners to the CME podcast would tell you. It's AYFKM!!!!
Gorgeous KO, but not as good as Yair Rodriguez's upward elbow vs Korean Zombie in the last second of their epic encounter.
The rebirth if Cowboy has been spectacular. Dead Cert HOFer. Love him.
It's brilliant. I sometimes post there as random football players.
Some interesting speculation in here
The 155 division has ridiculous depth, Ferguson should get the winner of Khabib vs Poirier. The rest I don't know, I reckon Cowboy vs Gaethje as I don't see McGregor fighting anytime soon.
If true then I'd love to see it against Poirier and Tony. Gaethje would also be intriguing if he can get another win or two in.
Just watching Swanson vs Burgos and someone in the corner not sure for whom all he keeps shouting is “be athletic” what the hell is that supposed to mean great cornering.
Edit: it’s someone in Cubs corner as he expanded on it by saying “be athletic cub”

Almost as good as this:Just watching Swanson vs Burgos and someone in the corner not sure for whom all he keeps shouting is “be athletic” what the hell is that supposed to mean
Fighter: I think I've broken my hand
Coach: feck your hand!

Guess i'll forget football for a few months, and stick to MMA 
Still a scumbag.
Apparently UFC 236 did awful PPV numbers and that was actually a good card.
I reckon this will do the worst PPV numbers ever.
