UFC should pay those willing to compete.
So Colby should fight for free then since he’s ducking the top 5
Is he also refusing the fight with Edwards? If so, yes. UFC should move away from these guys who can afford to sit rather than compete.
Who was the last guy on a winning streak Colby beat?
I don’t know or care. This thread is about how soft guys pretending to be tough guys wanting to compete, but don’t, are ruining the UFC. I couldn’t care less about Colby. If anyone (including Colby obviously for those of you stuck on him) is healthy, and not interested in competing in the next 6 months, cut them, and do business with guys who do.
The UFC would be much more enjoyable if their athletes wanted to compete. It may prove to be that it would be much more profitable, too. I don’t know if we’ll ever know. Paying guys so much that they get comfortable not competing doesn’t seem to be in the UFC’s best interest.
He doesn’t deserve one. He’s been ducking fights for an entire year. He hasn’t had a good win in 5 years.
The UFC is not a meritocracy. Leon vs Colby sells more PPVs than Leon vs Belal. There’s nothing more to it than that.
RDA, June 2018.
And that’s how it’s gonna be but we can still tell it like it is.
Ftfy
If all you care about is ppv buys then Masvidal should be the one getting the next title shot. And Khamzat after that.
Lol at the Colby haters. You guys are pathetic. Leon doesn’t want to fight Colby because Leon knows he will be brutally crushed. Leon isn’t stupid. The scorecards will read 50-41 after 5 rounds.
Leon says “Colby doesn’t deserve it!” and immediately follows up with “Jorge deserves it!”
What a doofus.
At this rate, Leon will be the co-main of a bellator show that no one cares about soon. Or begging to box Jake Paul.
I think there are a lot more issues that are ruining the UFV
Who is JJ turning down?
Tons of people thought Gaynes was going to destroy him, now he’s fighting the most well rounded heavyweight next.
If Francis came back and JJ ducked him, you would have a point, but Gaynes was considered by everyone the toughest out besides Francis
I unironically wanted Leon to fight Masvidal after he beat Kamaru the first time. I don’t care about legitimacy.
To care about ppv sells as a „fan“ is the dumbest thing ever…
In case of injuries sure, give the next ranked fighter a shot, but otherwise rankings should have a real meaning and the no1 guy should always be the first pick to fight the current champ!
Yeah, how dare these so-called “fans” want the most entertaining fights with the best build up.
Real fans want to see fighters like Jon Fitch and Demetrius Johnson and Jessica Eye. Ratings be damned. No one wants to see exciting, fan-friendly fighters with big personalities fight for titles. We want Belal Muhammad and Geoff Neal.
