Cruz was stripped by the UFC so tecnically he was not the champ... If you get fired from your job, you are tecnically not employed there anymore...

Cruz didnt BEAT the champ, every round was very close so by tycooner logic, TJ should remain champ....

im 1 month away from 5 years, and I never been top 10 either

Just cancel Delacroix fight its been hanging forever..

lol Dont try to be a cocksucker. I love watching Lawler, and his fights are great, but he should be looked at as Benson Henderson, overrated. Still Being a champ when you clearly lost fights, Makes you overrated. Doesnt mean I hate him, cuz i dont.. Same with Diaz bros, overrated as fuck, getting a fight with Anderson Silva, what the fuck is up with that bullshit... I understand its more about putting on moneymaking shows than try be a legit sport so i guess its all fine

True but they still get a win and 3 points

Lawler is clearly overrated, and should not be champ if there was judges with half a brain and at least something resembling a short-term memory. Lawler steal fights with a 5:th round barrage and with judges dumb ass fuck thats what they judge. (No im not a hater). But this thread was about underrated fighters and my pick is anyone from Steven Thompson, Al Iaquinta or Ferguson

To be fair, really fair, Lawler did 90% of his dmg in round 5.... And im sure if u put a picture of them both beside eachother the dmg done would be pretty equal

If you have any honor you would not ask for the money from this bet, clearly condit won, bullshit decision

Well, topic says it all. In mma you clearly dont have to just win, you have to do more, there been many examples of this last few years. GSP, Hendricks and the latest, Condit. I say this cheapens the sport, "well he won, but not by enough to get the belt" bullshit. In any other legit sport in the world, a win is a win, but not in mma. In soccer you can defend for 95 min and counter the winning goal with the last kick and be... World Champions. Your team can be NBA champs by losing 3 straight with 150-0 just to win last 4 100-99....still makes you champ etc etc. You get my point... But in mma its different.. I rant on this because Condit won the fight, clear. Doesnt matter if you strike with 65% power or 100%. A strike landed is a point, and Condit landed 170 something vs Lawlers 90. Lawler had a knockdown, Condit had Lawler wobbling. They both were messed up in the end, clearly Lawler didnt do significant more dmg, so why did he won! (15 out of 20 mediasites scored it for Condit). Because there exists a unwritten macho rule in mma that says you need to do MORE than just win to be champ, and to me that lessens the sport.

official stats has the sig strike adv to condit 177-94 but hey, lawler strikes count for 3 right

judges scoring is very unimpressive...im disappointed for real, i usually aint....Lawler´s last round same with Gus-Jones Jones last round, fkkin judges high on coke, shortterm memory like an infant

i had condit 3-2 im disappointed

Sure hope so myself, condit's my guy.

ahhh, lolz...I guess its all good then

thx man

do we have a medal standing?

Twitter rumor, from reliable sources... Condit to fight with Severe Concussion UFC knows about it and letting it pass......tobad, i have Condit winning this

Rumor says Condit fighting with a concussion.....

Lousy start for my team

Miocic looks like a safe bet

Ohh and I hope RDA wins, props to Mcgregor asking for this fight though

If Conor beats RDA he will probably be stripped of the 145 belt. They hold it for now, if conor lose he moves back down and they still have mcgregor as champ.. Strip him now before the rda fight makes no sense

Newborns just suck on their mommys titts and sleeps for the first 6 months, so the time to work is NOW In 10 months we wont see mike around here at all
