The Trenches, Episode 17 Poll: Who deserves the next title shot at welterweight in the UFC?

[leatherf4ce]

Only the Champ Champ deserves a shot.

No way DC can make the weight to WW.

 

[William Huggins]

Oh wow, they made Colby vs Till in London, how about that.

See, Colby does get a shot at a belt!!! Till holds the pie eating belt, winner gets to miss weight for the next three fights after!

Loser gets to hire porn stars for photo shoots....

Well you got a laugh from me, the pie eating belt.

Colby.

And if you have other combat sports questions, feel free to throw them in this thread.

* Among the UFC champions, who is the best and worst athlete?

* What's with the UFC announcing fights before they are even signed and then have them fall through? For example, Diaz vs Masvidal or Makhachev vs Trinaldo. Is this part of some business-strategy or just incompetence?

* If Israel Adesanya wins the belt in 2019, would he be the nerdiest UFC champion in history? How does he stack-up vs other all-time great geeks like GSP or Josh Barnett?

Do you expect Colby Covington to embrace a communist persona now that he has been screwed-over by free-market capitalism?

What will the fallout be of this title-switcheroo for Comrade Covington?

 

[europe1]

Well... my counter-argument would be that free-market capitalism enables owners to do whatever they want with their product, so the decision is in-line with the ideology.

Still, Wu-Tang bow towards Ant

"Presence not wanted."

Killing me.

Spouse sighting!

GSP never had trouble with someone like Wonderboy in his prime, though. Or so many loses in his prime.

 

[europe1]

Woodly a superior athlete to prime GSP?



Do people remember how explosive GSP was?

 

[JayPettryMMA]

GSP > Woodley, but if he beats Usman and Colby, then we'll have to really sit down and think about it.

GSP > Woodley, but if he beats Usman and Colby, then we'll have to really sit down and think about it.

See, for me, the big crux is that Woodley lost to Rory and Sheilds in his prime. And the Rory fight was a definitive this-guy-has-me-figured-out win.

 

[europe1]

The UFC is too big to fail. Wade through scandal after scandal but no one else is big or powerful enough to punish them for their mistakes. So nothing changes.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

UFC 232 got away with something, that's for sure.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

europe1 is big drama show

 

[JayPettryMMA]

I'm so sad about what has happened to Dodson the last few years.
