Lawler looked incredibly unprepared,I was kinda surprised.He didn't have anything to offer really.
As for hall of fame credentials I think some sentiment is involved.Guida provided some exciting rounds during the time when the UFC was having it's breakout and I think thats where he gets consideration.
That was more to my point about the HOF. These two started there careers off extremely well. They were must watch tv and now they are not even close to what they where. I have trouble with giving a single athlete the pinnacle of individual honors with just having half a career that was dominant. DC could stop fighting after Miocic and he’s a HOF guy. His equal is going to be Sanchez and Guida in the HOF???Quote:

I am totally with ya on this.I don't think the UFC understands that though and seem to be very sentimental about that time period in the company,that part of their history seems to be getting a whole lot of HoF attention. You are right that later on I think fans will look at the names (your example of Cormier to say Guida being very clear)and say "huh?".Quote:

Wow Weili Zhang crushing victory over Andrade.
Anyone wanting Cerrone to call it a day? I am feeling if he wants to continue then go for but don't take on the top of the card.
Mexico City wasn't a bad event but the main card got messed up and things got nasty ut fans are fans,can't control that.
Should be some excitement coming out of Melbourne tonight.
Adesanya may be my new favorite fighter. He’s just lethal and accurate.

I think he added a lot of followers after that win in Melbourne.He was indeed very precise even though he took a few shots here and there his focus never deviated.Quote:

Don't you think it's pretty much over for Askren at this point? He can't really be at the top of a card and hasn't showed much to earn all the hype,his best stuff is in the past.So yes I get your point about the post fight coverage,it was unearned.Maia can be main event.Quote:

Good Card, like you said.....Diaz took a beating for 3 rounds, but he wins in the late rounds. I wish the cuts wasn't so bad that we could have seen at least 1 more round.
UFC 245 looks on paper to be a great night
Usman vs Covington
Holloway vs Volkanovski
Nunes vs Randamie
Moraes vs Aldo
Yan vs Faber
