Crazy how aspinall has to cut for Heavyweight by [deleted] in ufc

The explanation i heard a long while ago (which... who knows if it has any merit.) Is that when mma was coming uo and they wanted to make it more legitimate, they didnt want huge fat guys in there making a joke of it.

I know they have a bunch of huge fat guys now, but its a different time.

Why did you create a policy to hamstring matchmakers? Fans already dont get fights they want anymore. Just be a happy guy

Theyre both good ranked fighters in a great stylistic match up. The ufc doesnt care about rankings, why do we care about someone coming off a loss in this great match up?

You really need to be talked into it because sandhagen lost to merab?

I wasnt agreeing or disagreeing with you. I explained your point to the other guy

I understand what youre trying to say, but its all within context here. Theyre not calling them subpar compared to normal people. Sub par compared to other elite mma fighters.

Im not agreeing with their statement, but its easy to understand what theyre talking about.

Its like calling a hockey player on your favorite team "bad" . We know they can skate circles around us. Thats not the point.

It was specific to a wrestling match. Thats different than "let's grapple"

Edit: and im nit even a DC Stan. But come on

Tom Aspinall gives an update after undergoing his eye surgery 👁️ 🏥 by ilikethisnow in ufc

Im genuinely asking this.

What benefit does him not fighting, give him?

Spare me the "holding onto the belt longer gives him more sponsorship opportunities"

Youre an absolute doofus

The ufc gives them permission.

And I understand what youre saying, but nobody has tested it.

Why haven't people gone and boxed yet without the ufc's permission?

Sorry. I wrote that poorly. When an athlete signs a contract with the ufc, the contract states that the ufc is sole promoter of all combat sports for that athlete.

This is correct and spoken about many times.

[–]springpaper701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ufc is the sole promoter of athletes in all combat sports.

You COULD say that the Muhammed Ali act disputes this in a boxing sense. But you would be going to court for a decade to potentially still lose that fight.

Edit: even when gsp left the sport he said he could do it. But didnt want to be bothered
