So the UFC, the company of a thousand interim titles, apparently values said titles so much, they'll now only make a title fight a main event for a PPV.
And that's why Conor-Cowboy isn't happening according to Joe Rogan. Goof at his worst. There are only a few title fights currently (Khabib-Tony, Jones-DC, Nunes-Holm maybe) in the whole damn company that wouldn't be entirely overshadowed by a non-title Conor fight as the co-main event

Maybe alittle premature but i'm excited for a match like this.
Woodley's Mom is the best

Easier to see Herb's regret here. I don't blame him, he gets a lot of shit but he's still one of the best in the world at this very difficult job. Robbie's stock won't drop from this loss.
Askren v Lawler II should happen eventually though.
really hope they rebook soon, both dudes seem healthy enough?
plus maybe Ben can talk shit and say he slept him and this shit can get big

This fight will never happen.
Gus was afraid to fight Anthony fucking Smith.
An injury will pop up, mark my words.

He was waiting around for the Jones fight, he didn't want to take an L and risk losing that payday. He's got nothing to lose now that we've seen he's not a challenge for Jones anymore.
BJ, no.. wut is u doin
The fact that he was worried about taking an L is the important part here.
OP
OP
He's injury-prone, extremely rusty and completely lacking in confidence; losing to Jones reinforced what everyone was thinking, he's totally past his best.
Maybe Gus should pack on 20 lbs of muscle and try out Heavyweight 🤷🏻♂️
I don't think Gus is rusty, I just think, much like Lee said to Ragin' Al, he was just the "same old Gus" and wasn't prepared for Jones preparing a proper game plan for him.
I know people are mad at Jones for the sanctioned roids thing but no need to slag his opponents to make him look worse; only Anthony Smith deserves that so far in my opinion.

I don't think it makes Jones look worse at all. Jones dismantled both these guys and he would have if they were better fighters. Neither of these guys had any moments on top v Jon.
Gus was always inferior to Jones and DC and he's in worse shape now than he was 3 years ago, I think it's as simple as that.
See what I mean.
Let dude lose to someone that isn't DC, Rumble, or Jones before we call him washed.
I don't even like Gus for his constant entitlement, and I still wouldn't call him washed.
I wish people in the sport learned something from this.
This is like watching the geezers come out in wrestling. It's like how bad were you with your money.
But Penn is rich. Why is he doing this?
I realize my POV might be in the minority, but surviving that barrage and then going on to (arguably) choke Lawler out moments later is impressive as hell. But I'm one of those people who thinks Lawler was out for a moment and then regained consciousness when Askren loosened the choke as Herb dean approached. The dudes hand hitting the mat like that is not something that happens unless you pass out.

Getting Angle Slammed, pounded almost to unconsciousness then coming back and winning in the SAME round is nothing short of incredible.
"I didn't wanna fight Robbie in the first place"
Don't get me wrong, my opinion on Herbs decision takes nothing away from Askren, if he wasn't fighting Lawler I would have been rooting for him.
Cody still only 27 years old but with some of these losses and injuries he could be one is those guys that ages fast. He needs to leave Alpha Male while he still has time to capitalize on his physical prime.
He's never going to leave Alpha Male. Ever. Uriah would have to like fuck his wife for that to happen.
Cody is way, way too loyal to his detriment. Just honestly a waste of what could be a top talent. Also related:

He deserves respect for surviving, but he took a massive beatdown and then Herb fucked up and gave him the win. The only fight that makes sense for them is a rematch.
Since watching the Gracie Breakdown I've solidified my opinion that the choke was sunk and with a minute forty on the clock it was only a matter of time. Yes it was an early stoppage and Robbie was probably not out, but he wasn't gonna escape that choke.

Romero v Jacare II is being made for April 27th
You have to wonder what they do with the winner. Whittaker will be out for a while and by the time of this fight there will be an Interim Champion so you'd have to assume that title will be defended against the winner of this fight before Bobby gets back.
I'd be legit scared for Adesanya/Gastelum's lives against Yoel.

Brian's problem is relying on his size and striking/clincing to implement his ground game.
That doesn't work when you fight a superior striker (Holloway) or an incredible wrestler. I feel Zabit beats Ortega standing or on the ground, unless he gets sloppy and T-City catches him in a submission.
