We need Joe Silva back. Does anyone really care to see Anthony Johnson and JDS get second chances?

[Rockapotomuss]

UFC 210 and UFC 211 are headlined by Anthony Johnson and Junior Dos Santos. Both are getting rematches, against Daniel Cormier and Stipe Miocic.

After the UFC 209 failure rematch of Wonderboy and Woodley, does anyone really want to see more rematches for titles?

JDS has been in title contention for 6 years now and only defended the belt once. He's coming off a record since 2012 of loss, win, loss, win, loss, win. Wow amazing, can't wait for him to be champ again.

In light heavy, Misha Cirkunov or Tyson Pedro should be fighting DC.

In heavy, Derrick Lewis or Francis Ngannou should be fighting Stipe.

Mix it up a little, jesus christ. Ya Rumble has won against top 5, but they all remain top 5 because they only fight each other! Gus still ranked #3, what a joke.

Let's not make Al any more angrier.

Why would Anthony Johnson not get a title shot? He has earned his rematch with Daniel Cormier.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Well, I'm torn about your post. Rumble yes, JDS not as much. Rumble lost to Cormier 22 months ago, and has knocked out three top-ten guys since that loss (and won POTN in all three). What more does he have to do?

Rumble vs Manuwa

Spoiler

Rumble vs Bader

Spoiler

Rumble vs Glover

Spoiler

The #7, #4 and #3 guys, all wins for Rumble by KO.


And JDS, yeah, HW is a mess. I'm not huge on it either, but it is what it is.

 

[JonesBonesJonny]

JDS yes because he beat Stipe and Cain. Rumble no, he will gas and get choked out again

 

[13Seconds]

Umm who else at 205 would you give the TS to? Rumble is the rightful contender.

Who right now at HW would you have fighting Stipe for the belt? Werdum? Cain? Rothwell? Lol... JDS is the last guy who beat him.

Besides, rematches we're booked left and right when Joe was in office too. Im glad you're not the matchmaker for title fights.

 

[geezus17]

Because all rematches look like WB/Woodley right?

Ease up, these are the best possible matchups right now for one reason or another and I think most fans are excited for both fights

JDS "getting a rematch" of a fight he already won?

 

[Ceez]

LOL Joe Silva the king of giving rematches to everyone..

You forgot JDS beat Miocic the first time around. So the question is, can the man who once beat Stipe do it again and take the title, or has Stipe matured to the point that he can overcome the last guy to hand him a defeat? It's a great storyline.

 

[ElCasca]

For every Woodley/Wonderboy there's a Edgar vs Maynard, a Aldo vs Mendes

 

[shonuf]

100% can't wait for JDS to get that belt back. One of the most exciting/best fighters in the UFC. Can't wait.

 

[DevilsLettuce]

Nah, Joe Silva sucks shit. Fuck that midget.

 

[Kidney Punch]

It's been said already, but Rumble is the only one deserving of a title shot, by a massive margin. Rematches are fine when they're earned, and he's certainly done that. Jones isn't back until July (I think) and whether it's against Rumble or DC, his return fight will be highly anticipated.

As for JDS, there may be other options, but he did beat Stipe when they fought last, and Ngannou isn't quite ready. With Cain out and Werdum having already been booked against Rothwell (at the time), who else should get the shot?

 

[IndyCovaHart]

Considering they are both exciting and the divisions are stale why the fuck not.

 

[lockjaw211]

Aj deserves it.

 

[JohnSAFTAHess]

The UFC is terrible at building contenders and the few contenders they do have don't get title shots.

That being said Rumble earned it with 3 ko's in a row in a super weak top ten. JDS, however, has won 1 fight and gets a title shot.

They're both benefiting from incredibly thin divisions.. JDS definitely more so.

You complain too much.
AJ is 1-12 with his only loss coming from DC.
If not him, who the hell do you think deserves a title shot at LHW??

As for Junior, he beat Ben rothwell, who was on a tear and would get a title shot with a win over Junior.
Granted, his record is not the greatest, but HW is indeed a shallow division and Junior does have a win over Stipe.

Rematches are not a bad thing.
Some trilogies are even memorable.

You are blind if you can't see that some fights deserve a rematch!

 

[Der Eisbär]

??? These are both great fights why wouldn't you want to see Them?

 

[dongface donghead]

Shit...I wanna see rumble at HW, 240lb Rumble plz
