still brings to mind the worst trade in UFC history to trade DJ for ben aksren lol Edit: For all of you saying askren made Masvidal, Masvidal made Masvidal. Ben was supposed to come in and fight for the title but he couldnt even put a win streak in the ufc. Therefore he is a loser and a bad trade

@jfernandez925 2 місяці тому
@KG-ii2yx people keep saying that but it was a business move. As much as I love DJ he wasn't selling ppvs. Maybe they didn't market him correctly but he wasn't selling. Askren in his short stint did sell and also created a big star in Jorge Masvidal (at his expense) who became a big asset. I dont think it was not a bad business decision but this is my opinion because we do not have the hard data to argue either way.
@KrikZ32 2 місяці тому
@@KG-ii2yx wasn't a bad trade, askren promoted his fights better than DJ and jorge became a star off of knocking him out specifically. DJ was a better fighter, but Askren was a bigger draw by far at that point.

What I found a bit insulting, was so many "fans" were putting Alex vs Jamal down for headlining 300. Sure, Jamal hasn't fought in a long time due to injury, even if you don't like him.. You can't put so much hate towards Alex. He's had a very quick rise to 2 championships. I'm sure Dana tried to get other matches for 300 but they didn't work out. And this match was still available. I'd rather see this instead of Leon vs Belal 2 for 300. Some people only see 1 side to an event. This card is fine. Sure they're could've been more additions but not everyone can make it. Looking forward to seeing Alex compete and defend his title. 💪

If he beats Hill, you may argue that he will become the second best LHW fighter of all time. He beat Jan, Jiri, and Hill all in the top 5.
@seanmower3926 2 місяці тому
I feel like his career will Go like this. He will beat hill and ank, by then Jon will be coming back, Jon will beat stipe, and give aspinal a shot. He will win and he won’t like being compared to Alex. And they will fight at HW. If Alex wins he will retire if he looses he will defend LHW once or twice more to show he’s not washed and then retire

At first I was annoyed the UFC kept bringing fighters in an giving them a fast track to a title shot (first Chandler then Alex). But after he beat Izzy I became a big fan. Winning the light heavyweight belt has easily put him in my current top 5. Nobody can deny his fights are entertaining. I never would’ve thought that 2 Brazilians… Alex an Olivera, that don’t speak English (or very little) would be a couple of my favorite fighters. Their fights are always exciting no matter if they win or lose! An they are both the definition of bout it!! Love his loyalty to Strickland. An his translator doesn’t leave you feeling like he left so much out. That translator seems to be on point.
