UFC matchmaking is so f**king stupid at this point. Rankings mean nothing. I get that they're a business and it's in their best interest to put on money fights, but that's total b******t for the guys that work their way up only to get snubbed.

Makes gsp look like a coward for not stepping up in his prime to take the super fight with Anderson at 185 imo

It's pretty obvious he's cherry picking his way to a relatively easy belt. Could have fought at the weight he was at his entire career, but he doesn't want it with woodley.

Probably wouldn't fight wonderboy either since they're friends and have trained together in the past. I did watch live as rory completely stifled Woodley tho at 174. I could see gsp having similar success

Yesssss! I kinda worry about Khalabib though. Don't know why. Just got a weird feeling he might eat a shot that he doesn't recover from.

I can see that happening, he got rocked by Johnson.

Yea his striking isn't there yet and he's got a short reach at like 70 inches. Fergusons at 76.5, Conor is at like 74
