3 fighters coming off losses get title shots

Edgar - Loses to Ben Henderson (twice), gets a shot at Aldo

Chael - Loses to Anderson, gets a shot at Jones

Diaz - Loses to Condit, gets a shot at GSP.


i'm not mad, i just love how the UFC doesn't give a fuck and just wants to put on exciting fights.

Same with Randy Phone Post

JakodaRay - Edgar beat Bendo, cabron.

and Diaz beat Condit, but the score cards and record books say otherwise.

Diaz is getting GSP? Phone Post

Oh no, you'll have to watch an exciting fight.
You poor baby.

Drummeryan - 

Diaz is getting GSP? Phone Post


thats what dana just said at the press conference. he asked GSP and GSP said he wanted Diaz, so thats the fight they are going to make.


or they realized they'd get more PPV buys with that rather than GSP/Hendricks.

Chael is the ridiculous one.

Edgar lost a close, somewhat controversial decision in a title fight at 155, so it's not outlandish that he gets a title shot in a lower division.

Nick lost a close, very controversial decision to determine the title shot, so no surprise that he gets his chance next.

Chael's title shot will be known as the beginning of UFC's downfall when they make a book about it.

Yeah, doesn't make sense....but can't wait for Diaz vs.GSP.

Chael got destroyed. He didn't just lose.

this.

Sonnen is really the only one people can complain about, we all know why it was done but thats the one you can really bitch about and have a point.

Edgar should be LW champ right now and DIaz very well could be interim WW champ right now, Frankie is dropping down to his natural class as well.

Whats wrong with fighters working their way up for a title shot these days??? Let performance dictate opportunities.
Wins and losses should rank fighters in each division. You have to come off wins to get a title shot imo.

Will it sell?? Yes

Is it right?? No

Does it hurt "The Sport"?? Yes

OP is exactly why the UFC will never be a real sports league

You forgot condit vs gsp Phone Post

Who else is SHOCKED that they didn't give Overeem an immediate title shot after his suspension?

Well Pacman lost to Bradley and to Marquez IMHO and we still want to see him fight Money May. Phone Post



This is whats holding them back from becoming a legitimate sport, its 1 hell of a spectacle...

Sonnen's title shot comes because he's willingness to step in for the failed Jones vs Hendo event. Machida and other fighters did not want to step up. Eventually, Vitor got the shot. It's also a way to save the TUF ratings.

Boom...especially when you consider that the last Fox show was based entirely on deciding the #1 contender for Jones (decisively won by Machida)
