Sams had some horrendous bad breaks in that span. Like bad eye gouges.
Also he’s still about .500 in the ufc.
Another reason he gets so many chances is cause Sam won so much early. Like BJ Penn who was allowed to stay after many loses wherein he looked worse than Sam has of late.
A guy thats lost 6 in a row who’s now 1-6 isn’t the same as a guy that’s now 12-13
Finally… Sam makes weight, takes the fights they give him & he’s a great guy the staff loves.
Not saying it’s right that some get so many more chances. Just saying why.
