Bubba_Sparks Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 New rankings....lots of unbooked title fights, let's sort this out according to the Bubba golden rules. Highest ranked fighter off a win who hasn't had a previous loss to the champ gets the shot. Also deposed champs don't get another title shot until they've won at least one fight. So we should have:- MM v Cejudo (already sorted) Cruz v Barao (hmm, not so sure) Conor v Edgar (definitely) RDA v Alvarez (meh, maybe Nate should be rewarded) Lawler v Wonderboy Rockhold v Bisping (rematch of the century in a no headbutts match) Belfort DC v Jones (sorted) Werdum v Miocic (sorted) JJ v Gadalha (sorted) Tate v Nunes Thoughts? Main issue is the rankings are highly suspect....realised today you can look at the rankings per person who does the ranking, some are decidedly suspect - one bloke had Tim Kennedy go up four places in the rankings this week despite no top 15 MWs fighting!

Nyte Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Yeah looks good. But seeing as Wonderboy is booked might as well throw Nate in there. Then again, GSP was just at UFC 196. We'll just say that's coincidental, but when that fight gets announced, don't tell me I told you so. Cause I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba_Sparks Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I can get behind that but Bisping lost to Rockhold Good point, but this would be a no head-butts match. That said, for some reason i thought Bisping was ranked above Vitor; as he's not, then I'm afraid Vitor has to get the next shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, for some reason i thought Bisping was ranked above Vitor; as he's not, then I'm afraid Vitor has to get the next shot. it kind of sucks for middleweight, because I honestly don't see any of them being a match for Rockhold. The middleweight top contenders are all pretty old fighters who are long past there prime. Weidman is the only real challenge in my opinion and I think even he will get rekt again.

If Luke fought Vitor and beat him, then he would have beaten all of the top 5 and automatically qualifies for a super-fight against the LHW champion.

xFINISHxHIMx Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Nate beat the former LW contender, he should get the shot instead. Wonderboy is on a tear.

cashfl0w Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Nate beat the former LW contender, he should get the shot instead. Nothing made McGinger the number one contender besides the UFC overhyping him. Nate should get Pettis after Showtime kills Barboza. Then we can all laugh as Nate gets clowned on, and we can stop pretending like he's a top ranked fighter. He certainly is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rastajambo Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Middleweight should be split into two categories. Contenders, and GRAMPA League® inc Bisping, Silva, Belfort, Machida, Henderson even Roidmero Discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I_Take_Roids_m8 Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Belfort would kill Rockhold AGAIN. Even the playing field first and let him have his therapy.

zaksame Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 UFC has gone full retard,they are just tossing out title shots from every corner now. I figure we should see Rhonda versus J Jones soon and Weidman versus Minny mouse. It is why MMA is just a one night spectacle you can't take it as a career sport to follow,thger is no logical sense or design ,just toss out fights you figure make money.Even the rules are god awful,promoted as MMA but the rules try to enforce it as nothing more than boxing.Same reason boxing never made it as a long term legit sport,just a spectacle,you have boxers hugging each other every single round but not one point deduction,notr one warning,just some slow **** 60 year old ref that rivals Herb for the slowness award. We need someone with half a brain to take these spectacle sports and deliver them some common sense,make them ORGANIZED,instead of just a one night spectacle.
