UFC 268: Usman vs Convington 2
- Thread starter Nastycrow
- Start date
I'm hoping for a Gaethje win to stop the Chandler hype train just a bit. I don't wanna sound like a hater but how was he the back-up for Gaethje-Khabib with 0 UFC fights and apparently beating Dan Hooker (who wasn't even a top 5 guy at the time) warrants a title-shot?
I got Covington, Rose, and Gaethje all coming out on top this Saturday.

Three wins over former UFC LW champions, a number of UFC vets and guys that are UFC caliber. I'm rooting for Gaethje because frankly Gaethje vs Poirier should have been for the vacated title and I love Gaethje but to say Chandler is "hype" just because he wasn't fighting the UFC randoms that get booked now-a-days is dumb.

Is this supposed to be impressive?
And yes, it is a hype-train for the reasons given.

I think it's more evidence of you trolling if you don't see them as top guys just because they don't fight in the UFC. I don't think you can call a guy hype when he beat Dan Hooker in a round and almost won the title against Oliveira.

Oh yea, Marcin Held.....real elite.
Beating Dan Hooker in a round automatically puts you at a title shot? Ok then, you would have no problem if Islam fights for the title after Poirier?

I don't have a problem with any of the title selections at LW...that's the difference between us. It could be the Chandler/Gaethje winner, Dariush or Islam all three would be "worthy".

Well no, I don't believe Gaethje or Chandler deserve a title fight after 1 win when guys Like Darius and Islam are around. I believe in earning it.
Both main event fighters are pretty annoying.
I think Colby is better than he gets credit for (he was doing pretty good in that last fight before his big stupid face was smashed) and Usman sounds like he’s thinking about his clothing line or boxing.I voted for Usman but I don’t know..
As obnoxious at it might be, the UFC could use a champ like Convington.

Covington is the only fighter that I hope something bad happens to. I hope he gets his face broken, sure. But even if he got spiked, and was paralyzed, I'd be fine with it. Also, any person that is a Covington fan is human debris.

I don’t think I disagree with any of this.
But he can still win this fight.
And he’d sell a crapload of tickets as a champ cause everyone would want to see him lose.
