Your argument is "well, we don't know he can't" which is also true of a lot of guys who've never fought at 125.

Maybe he can. Who knows? No one, because he's never done it.

its a convenient excuse

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
UFC is looking to sell the entire flyweight division to another promotion. Probably for pennies on the dollar I'm guessing. lol.

Dana White owns for how ruthless & petty he can be.

Imagine being so mad at an employee you would ship off like 25 other guys just to get rid of him. drat.

Can MM not fight Ray Borg, get his record, and then fight TJ in a few months? Or is there some problem with that that I missed?

imo the make MM fight TJ plan was based on the assumption that TJ would beat MM, be flyweight champ and then make a big deal out of him fighting Cody when codys out of traction or whatever. The fact that MM would probably beat TJ and would likely be 50/50 if not better against Cody never crossed the mind of the suits that run the UFC now. Lol if you think Danas opinion means poo poo, hes a salaried hype man now.

I thought the timeline of events went like this:

DJ asked for Sergio Pettis for his next defense given that he's on 3 fight win streak, or alternatively to go up and fight Garbrandt.

UFC said TJ and Garbrandt is already in the works, our view is Borg is the number 1 contender at 125, that's the fight.

DJ agrees to fight Borg

Garbrandt gets injured

TJ wants to fight for the title at 125 - Dana starts hyping a fight with DJ and TJ

DJ says, hang on a minute, aren't I fighting Borg?

Dana says "don't be a pussy" we'll give you PPV points if you can hit X number of buys

DJ says, I'm not being a pussy but it's for a record defense, if you want me to fight TJ I'd like some guarantees that a) he can make weight and b) if he doesn't I get paid because I'm going to invest a shitload of money into training for TJ and you won't promote me so I won't hit those buys

Dana says If TJ can't make the weight we'll have Borg on the card and you can fight him instead - besides little dudes suck, be cooler and fight TJ and you'll make PPV points

DJ says - it's bullshit to be expected to be prepared for two vastly different opponents, when there's no guarantee of a good pay day - why don't I just fight Borg for the record as planned and I'll fight whomever after

Dana starts calling him a pussy for ducking TJ and calls his division poo poo and says DJ doesn't sell anyway

That's pretty much exactly what MM said in that long post which kicked this all off and I don't think there's any reason to doubt him and just believe Dana White's side of things.

Really it just sounds like they have been pointlessly rude and disrespectful to him for years and he had enough and just decided to stick it to Dana by not taking the TJ fight

I mean he wanted to fight Cody from the get go. That's an arguably way more dangerous fight than TJ with high potential for him to get knocked out at either weight.

Basically the time line broke down like this:

1. MM is born
2. Dana white Invents modern MMa with chuck and Tito
3. The Xbox one comes out
4. Conor Defeats Mayweather
5. MM has a great career as a twitch streamer who angles his webcam so it looks like he's normal size
6. I, Keven, become famous and you all think fondly of my posts, which I no longer have time to make
7. I marry my wife (also famous)
8. MM dies of whatever disease made him that short
9. I divorce my wife

Dana White hired Snoop Dogg to do fight commentary for his Tuesday Night contender series. It sounds like they are putting together 2 broadcast teams, and letting you pick one. You can either listen to a traditional broadcasting team, or you can select the "SnoopCast" and listen to Snoop Dogg and Urijah Faber.
