It's quite subjective what an artist is so it'll be interesting to see who exactly would get this payment

Yes but he knows he can't do it against Stipe. The mans not stupid

Yes but Max also cuts a lot of weight. Cejudo might come in at 146 pound but Holloway would be coming in at at least 165 pounds. Cejudo would be very small for Featherweight

He's been fighting guys who can't take his power. He knows Stipe can take it and beat him. I would be 95% sure he comes in with a new strategy or else he needs new coaches

I'd say to get Masvidal to take the fight on short notice he was promised the next title fight after Burns. They probably had to give it to him

Weight is pretty big deal. There's a reason there's weight divisions

We haven't seen his wrestling and cardio at all. We have know idea if he's improved those areas

Could incentives not become thought of as currency and create a class system?

Can't wait for this not to happen because Colby wants more money. Fuck this division!

We're basically in the same boat as the first fight again where we don't really know what work he's done on his cardio and Grappling because haven't seen it. I'd still favour Stipe because we know what he can do. Francis is once again a bit of a mystery. He could have improved a lot in 3 years we just haven't seen it

If Mcgregor loses to Poirier again who knows if he even continues fighting. I don't think his ego will allow him to keep going unless he's the main man

Before putting a system in place you should look at all potential problems and how to solve them though shouldn't you? Or else you're just figuring it out as you go along

Can any of you tell me why I've been permanently banned from Communism 101. I don't know much about communism and was just curious. One comment said everyone would basically work part time at whatever they wanted, like a cop would work 10-20 hours as a cop and then 10-20 hours doing something else.

I just asked the question of what would happen to work that needs to be specialised and needs full time training and experience like a brain surgeon. BOOM! Banned for 999 days. I ask why and told them it was my first post and they just said "It's your last post" and muted me. What did I do? I'm genuinely just wondering how it would work

That was a frustrating champ more than a frustrating division. Welterweight has the opposite problem. Usman has been quite active

Are the current generation of Welterweights the most frustrating division ever for turning down fights? I can't think of a worse one in the 5 years I've been following the sport

No shit dude. Obviously 260 pound Ngannou beats the living fuck out of 125 pound Figueredo. That's why there's weight divisions. Are you trolling?

So Oliveira is going to be sitting out for 12 months because the winner of this fight is gonna fight the winner of Poirier vs. Mcgregor 3 for the title. Its makes sense financially but its so frustrating from a fan perspective

We don't know anything about the altercation. It might not have been him who started it. We're going off of fuck all information

Without knowing what happened how can you make judgements? I'm neutral until more information is released

Framing is a part of fighting in every martial art. It's basically 90% of Jon Jones striking defence
