RDA also got eye poked real bad in I think round 2? He was looking great until then. Similarly Barboza got illegally upkicked real bad in the first. Both those fights could have gone quite differently.

He did get eye poked real bad, but he was also getting beat up by tony prior to the eye poke.

Matt Serra is a former UFC champion and actively trains some of the most talented MMA fighters on the planet. I think he might just follow MMA closely.

If you listen to the show regularly I don't understand how you would think that Serra keeps up with much besides what's going on with his own fighters and MMA headlines. He probably doesn't give a poo poo about the wider MMA world below the surface, as he's retired and spends his spare time eating Philly cheesesteaks with Dana, making GBS threads, TRT loving his wife, and raising his kids. Neither host thinks Dana White lies, really? On this very episode, they even admit they don't know what DJ's "demands" were concerning the TJ fight, nor his pay structure. They most often rely on their producer to give them factual info as they're recording.

Does Matt Serra know about fighting and training MMA? Absolutely. He even watches fights. But there's no evidence he's sitting at home in his reading glasses and a plate of baked ziti, prepping for the show by reading articles about the behind the scenes workings of the UFC.

Cody calling TJ out for gyno nipples during the prank war was eyebrow raising, but there was obvious no explanation for casual (?) viewers.

Yeah he went on the MMA hour and says he literally doesn't care. He's like 23 and isn't in a hurry to fight MM although he feels "ready."

IMO it kills a lot of MM's leverage when the guy he is desperate to fight is not that interested.

Yes, Demetrious Johnson, averaging two to three fights per year like clockwork, you are the one who should step up and fight.

You can bang on about how often Conor fights, but he's also much, much better paid, and fights about as often as DJ. DJ is paid gently caress all, yet maintains one of the tightest schedules of any champ. He's fought twice since Conor last fight, and will probably make it three or even four by the time Conor actually fights in the UFC again.

I also love the fact he holds Conor up as the gold standard. This is the guy that held 3 divisions to ransom and refused to fight unless he got the opponent he wanted and the paycheck he wanted. Did he forget that he had to strip Conor of his belt because he refused to defend it?

Refused to defend it because he was avenging hurt pride against Diaz, only to get a completely unearned title shot, skipping at least two or three guys on massive win streaks and millions of dollars.

Yeah, of loving course Conor shows up and fights. You give him enormous incentive to.

Not really, depending on exactly when you judge he got famous.

2013: twice
2014: twice
2015: three times
2016: three times

Yes, he fought 5 times in 2011 before coming to the UFC, beating 5 guys who I'm totally sure exist, but then only 3 times in 2012, having moved onto the big league of Cage Warriors.

Restricted to his UFC career, there's no such trend. If anything, it's shifting the other way. He fights more as his paycheques have gone up. Interesting. I'm sure there's no lesson we could apply to Mighty Mouse here.

UFC just introduced a new feature on UFC Fight Pass.

https://www.ufc.tv/channel/fight-pass-24-7

It's their own 24/7 stream of fights, original stuff etc. According to the schedule it switches over to the live events like weigh ins, Fight Pass prelims, partnered promotional cards etc. but when not showing those its using the fight library and originals for Fight Pass to fill in the time as well. It's pretty much a full on UFC TV channel now.
