the UFC did a much better job creating the Strawweight title. The competitive TUF format gave the belt instant credibility and created a division with a pool of talent.

how to win 2 fights in the UFC against fighters with zero UFC wins and then get a title shot:

How to win the Interim featherweight belt while beating a non-featherweight

I guess that'd be a strike against Holloway if he fought someone at bantamweight, but he fought a former lightweight champion. Yuge difference.

The big issue is the title was created for cyborg and then she failed the test. Hell the whole division was created for her. And people were begging for the creation saying Dana was being a jerk for making her get down to 135. But there just isn't enough women for the division and with no Cyborg it is ridiculous.


Are you kidding me? The featherweight division for women has so much talent in it right n-

matt serra is a former welterweight champion. if thompson beat him it would not prove he deserves a shot at woodley.

Halloway fought a guy having weight cut issues who has never fought at 145 and is 1-3 in his last 4 fights. The people saw the BS for what it was. the PPV had a very low buy-rate and the house was heavily papered with the average ticket price being $100. very low for a "PPV". i got to see the event for free and a couple of weeks later so did everyone else on FOX. The fastest the UFC has ever given away a PPV for free. the free giveaways of this fight show you how important the people felt this "title fight" was. it was a joke of a PPV and should've been a Fox Fight Night Card.

the UFC won't have employees wandering around the streets of Brooklyn handing out tickets for tonight's event like they did in Toronto because 208 is sold out.

Some times I forget how you will throw logic and reason out to argue. That was the toughest competition available and that's all he has been fighting. He has won 10 in a row since losing a close decision to Conner Mcgreggor. I doubt there is a more worthy challenger in the entire UFC. Even for you this a stupid argument.

logical fallacy: argument ad hominem.

the current champion is active so there is no need for a made up interim title. i can list at least 20 middle of the road MMA journalists who think the interim title handed out at UFC 206 is a joke; i pretty much subscribe the collective perspectives of all 4 guys on the MMA Beat weekly show hosted by Helwani.
Halloway deserves a title shot; he does not deserve a belt because he has not defeated the current reigning champion.
if you want to call us all stupid.. have fun.

it was a "title fight" where the belt could only be won by 1 of the 2 guys. talk about dumb. why didn't they stick a ladder in the middle of the ring and hang the belt 15 feet in the air too?

I was responding to this statement which insinuates that Holloway does not deserve the title shot.

here is my original joke comment. you decided to claim it was saying something else.

none of this indicates Halloway does not deserve a title shot at the current reigning and active featherweight champion. it does say that the interim title he holds now is as fake as the WWE championship
you just dream up stuff and then claim i said it. like that Nick Diaz thing.. where you went off on some giant rant about Nate Diaz.

if you are going to make these tenuous logical leaps you should request clarification first.

just request clarification rather than going in with 10 battlecruisers and 10 seige tanks only to find out the opposition CC is on the other side of the map

Such a casual kimura by Souza. Easily the next guy who should fight for the belt, unless Mousasi has some amazing performance vs Weidman, and then maybe they'd rather do a title eliminator fight.

Yeah this scoring system, idk man.

Also, always disappointing to see previous steroid users win fights.

Holly sucks ass. Maybe it's time to switch coaches because apparently her way of fighting is only good enough to break Ronda.

welp, the women's featherweight champion needs surgery to repair torn ligaments. time to create an interim featherweight women's title belt and set up a match during the next PPV that doesn't have a title fight.

That's not an "ad hominem". An ad hominem is when someone attacks your credibility rather than addressing your actual argument. Sure, the Holloway-Pettis fight didn't do good numbers, but that doesn't make Holloway any less of a worthy contender, especially when one lists his last 10 fights, where he beat many top contenders in the division, which JimmiC listed. Oddly enough, you fail to address the actual facts because you didn't like his tone and thought it was a personal attack because he said your argument was "stupid".

i addressed the facts. i'm not repeating myself. i have no idea what his "tone" is. this is a forum board. you have no idea whether i liked or didn't like his "tone". this is going way, way off topic and i'd rather talk about the UFC than discuss speculation about what i think about someone else's flame bait post.
