@BlaineHenryTFL Cause they pay Hendricks more, instead of losing 600k on a former athlete you can build up this active polish dude whos probably happy with 15k/15k
@GrizzMMA Also I consider someone whos no longer capable of consistently putting up the type of performances he used to as washed. I guess other use it as a more severe insult but when I say that I simply mean hes reached his ceiling and is on the ever falling end of his career trajectory
@GrizzMMA It was very sloppy work from Holloway, given he had just decimated Poirier for about 9 minutes so I cant blame him for being a little fatigued. I'm not at all saying Conors winning, hes probably getting sparked.
@JosieAldoMMA Tbf against Khabib he was simply outmatched as a fighter, he couldnt deal with the pressure of Khabib and its not like his initial TDD is bad. In his mind he probably felt the issue was more gameplan
@certifiedzester Hes a hyped up prospect, these things tend to happen. Although he definitely didnt get hurt nearly as bad as he hurt Blaydes, his chin looked great
@memfistt@Tony2Studs3@ColdChipotleWa He was simply having the first competitive fight of his UFC career, he certainly wasnt fighting like shit. He had Gane in some really awkward positions defensively but the fight simply didnt go long enough for us to see if Aspinall could capitalize
@SmeshMMAA There is a difference between planting and firing without a worry for whats coming back, anytime Ilia was given time to advance or settle and think infront of Alex and Max he would land or get close. Gaethje wont win but if he wants any hope he will need to keep Ilia moving
@austen_enjoyer Despite the posts of "Look how old his opponents are", its not like theyre not high level fights. Since Volk its been nothing but. Arman had a SD with Olives and Ilia got it done in half a round. I agree Gaethjes a step back down but otherwise I credit Ilia for just being better
@austen_enjoyer Like just listening to Volk, a dude who is by far one of my favorite fighters describe the sequences they had against each other tells me no matter the second guessing he may have done going in, Ilia probably had his number on that night no matter
@austen_enjoyer Maybe not at their absolute peak but clearly good enough. Charles is a far stronger win than JDM despite the streak discrepancy, stronger win than late stage Dustin too and no matter the arguments against the versions of Volk and Max Ilia fought, he displayed immense skill
@ramayan_69@Deport45ASAP Highly doubtful, Dustins G&P is nothing game changing and Max pummeled him into the mat like twice before this moment and Dustin recovered. I doubt old man Dustins got better recovery than Max
@SICKYDOESMMA He doesnt see it from the promotional perspective, in his mind its probably a discourse of "Why should I kick the ball into Andersons court and not just compete on an even playing field?".
@SICKYDOESMMA Dropped and dominated by Chael btw...
Anyway, these are all completely fair requests from him. Especially the testing and more money and you bet he wouldve accepted had both those boxes been checked despite them not allowing catch weights
