Nah
That kick off the cage was sweet though
Probably because tiny athletes have very few options between horse racing and midget wrestling.
The way I put it is lets take it to the extreme and say the smallest division and best fighters were 2 feet tallâŚ. No matter how good they are or what techniques they master they are still 2 fucking feet tall lol
Their techniques no matter how flashy they are would not work or be practical against even the worst HW so it is a moot point when talking about the actual Best Fighters in the world.
That is how I feel about WMMA too. I prefer to watch the Best Fighters in the World period. Not the best Woman or midget⌠I mean Lightweight. But I watch it all I just like watching the Elite the most.
Good call you got him there lol
I should not have been using words and logic and should just be speaking like that in Brock Lesnar gifs that he would understand
How Brock would treat the Greatest Lighterweight fighters in the World
Reason - usada. Every dominant and exciting fighter from the last 20 years at lhw and hw was on juice except for the extremely small minority (mark hunt/Francis?)
Prove me wrong
Who would you rather watch?
Justin Tafa vs Parker Porter
Or
Islam vs Volkanovski
Heavyweight and Light heavyweight arent worth watching outside of the top 10. The lighter divisions are.
Of course I would rather watch Islam vs Volk⌠BUT
When you have true Elite fighters AND they are HWs then those are the Best Fighters in the World. (We used to get that a lot more in the old days of PRIDE AND UFC not so much in todays game)
So with that said
I would rather see HW Match of Francis Ngannou vs Jon Jones over any fight you can come up with in the Lighter Classes or any class for that matter.
That is the most important fight in the sport and it is not happening
All my current âdream matchupsâ or most desired fights are WW and below
Moreno v. Demitrious Johnson
Volk v. Yair
Petr Yan v. Umar Nurmagomedov
Islam v. Beneil
Colby v. Khamzat
Khamzat v. Usman
Colby v. Dustin
Conor v. Masvidal
Damn. I should make a thread about that honestly. Everyoneâs current most desired matchups
Those are excellent fights and like I say I watch it all
Jon Jones vs Francis Ngannou
That would be the most anticipated âcurrent dream fightâ for me and if you donât want to see the HW Champion fight the LHW Champion who was #1 p4p in the sport and is stepping up for his first HW Fight then you are missing out on the actual Greatest and Strongest Fighters the sport has to offer.
But I am in agreement with you that the current HW and LHW Divisions outside of those Elite guys is a barren wasteland compared to the old days and other divisions.
Jones vs Ngannou would be my most anticipated fight in the past few years but mostly because Jones is arguably the GOAT, has never officially been defeated other than DQ, and is a villain of the sport that Iâve been watching for over a decade. That potential fight isnt amazing because of weight. Replace Jones with Jamahal Hill and its not that interesting. Jones fighting the heavyweight champion and greatest knockout artist in the sport is a once in a lifetime event.
