What happened to cain?
A champ should never turn down a fight
Back injury.
And Jon Jones?

idiot trains like a maniac. not the first time
exactly, jon jones vs sonnen of all people
imo a champ should step vs anyone (as long as there's been a camp)
who did he turn down?
i hear you.
but this is the fighting business, just feels weird when a champ backs down.
mcgreggor would never turn down a fight
he went up a division ffs
he'll fight edgar next i think, win or lose vs rda
Conner is confirmed to walk around at least 175, going up in a division for more money and fame than fighting the deserved challenger in Edgar (tough stylistic match up) isn't really that much of a "sacrifice".
true true, i agree that he should have defended his belt before going up. it's just edgar left for him in that division anyway. but he didn't really "back down", he just took another fight.

Damn, I guess it's too soon for an interim belt in that division. But it would have been awesome. Jones has nothing to prove in LHW anyway, let Cormier keep his belt for a while and when he retires / declines, Gustaffson can take over

Is it just me or are the LHW's not so active?
Very slick sage.
I have a feeling that will happen too.
I hope he's worked on his cardio and ground game, I'm a fan of AJ.

old/no rising threats
problem is HW is far worse, jones would have 2-3 fights* there and be done with that division.
*if those fuckers can even make it without being injured
Yeah, ufc has never had a deep HW division, and LHW has been on and off for a long time. Mostly off.
Maybe mixed martial arts isn't a big man's sport. Not enough talent comes through there in the heavy divisions.
Yeah, there's so much a mixed martial artist must be good at, and then there's cardio. These big guys can't handle it.
HW is basically a boxing / kickboxing division.
Doesn't sound like a good idea tbh. I wanna see mma.
Yeah I know, that's what I also said about the HW division. I don't want to cement that. Let it go, Curu, it's a horrible idea
Let's just hope some good talent comes through in the heavy divisions.
