Good. I hope they do this more to champions who refuse to fight contenders and hold out for "money fights"
I wonder what the UFC is going to do when cyborg misses weight or pisses hot after the fight?
Praise the Lord. Should have been done awhile ago.
Makes the UFC look like amature hour.
How about stripping the UFC of this useless weight class while we are at it.
Hopefully they strip D.J now. If you're a champion, you're not the person that decides who deserves a title shot. Your job is to fight, and defend your title against anybody they put you against. If you want to pick and choose fights, great, vacate the title and pick away.
why is GDR acting surprised about all of this?? haha
gdr shoulda taken the fight and loss, at least she'd get paid well
no more big paydays like that in her future
Ultimate Cuck -carcaju -RdotC -RicGillespie -"UFC maintains that any champion is expected to accept fights against the top contenders in their respective weight classes in order to maintain the integrity of the sport.”
HAHAHAHAHA OMFG CAN'T STOP HAHAHAHAHAHA
You forgot the very tiny print at the bottom.. in green and orange print... 'Unless your name is Conor McGregor'
Or Bisping
Lucky the GSP fight fell through and it forced his hand, although he is angling for the easier fight of Whittaker instead of Yoel or Moose. Even Jacare would be a harder fight stylistically for Bisping.did Bisping or Mcgregor actually turn any fights down though?
Only fight McG turned down was Diaz at 200. I don't think Bisping has ever ducked anyone, when it comes down to it he WILL fight Romero even if he obviously wants the GSP payday. Bisping is a real fighter.

Fuck stripping DJ. The dude has never put a foot wrong, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for this one. Like fuck I'm siding with the fat bald liar, over a fighter who has never been anything but class.
LOL. Bisping ducks all top contenders.
That said, bravo to the UFC for stripping Germaine off her belt!!!

Was Jon jones champ when he got 151 cancelled?

it seems you can't force fighters to fight
I think that if you dont have a full roster for the ranking system for a division that the division should not exist, and that at the introduction of a new weight class the fans should be privy to seeing said rankings.
Invicta JUST signed anderson, she has no fights within invicta, she is basically a hyped regional fighter with some decent credentials. A far cry from Chris Cyborg, hell its a far cry from Holly Holm or GDR...

If they strip DJ for not fighting someone who has never fought in the division that DJ is defending his belt in than honestly I dont know what I could do to support the UFC any less without turning into a jihadist.
ChucoV -Really, so the Champions are the ones that decide who fights for the title? Tell me more.ABCTT_HeHitsMeBecauseHeLovesMe - Hopefully they strip D.J now.

Cindy Dandois is more qualified to fight for that belt than Megan is but hey at least the Justino train is finally here.
