UFC 194 - Aldo v. McGregor/Weidman v. Rockhold - Dec. 12 - Vegas

[mestevo]

I'd think a rematch should be on the shortlist of the next fights for any new champion, but the rest of the context has to be considered, like turnaround for the rematch and worthy contenders.

Outside of that and specifics, just not invested enough to care. Weidman I think is less polarizing and has earned less of the irrational sports love/hate that fans typically let influence that kind of banter/debate.

The MMA Logic seems inconsistent to me on this one. Aldo and Rousey got KTFO. Weidman got pummeled but at least did something in his fight. Why doesn’t Weidman deserve a rematch if Aldo and Rousey do? Aldo was unbeaten for years and years, Ronda was undefeated, and Weidman was undefeated who beat the GOAT twice. My answer: None of them do. I love Ronda, she shouldn’t be fighting Holly next. I like Aldo, and think he is a true HOFer, but he doesn’t deserve a rematch either, and of course neither does Weidman, just using him as an example.

No one believes Ronda deserves an instant rematch. The only reason she's getting one is because she'll cash out. Aldo isn't getting an instant rematch, it's been confirmed that McGregor is either fighting the winner of RDA/Cerrone at 155 or Edgar at 145. Weidman flat out got dominated and outclassed for 3 rounds (he held his own in the first round), he is the least deserving of an instant rematch. And this is coming from a Weidman fan.

It was disappointing to me. Two super dynamic fighters that I have always enjoyed watching have a three punch 14 second fight. I don't mind the outcome I just was really looking forward to some excellent striking from both.

A beautifully placed left

Dominance that's why. Ronda was dominating her division before her Holm loss. So was Aldo. Weidman defended the belt 3 times but I don't believe he wasn't as dominant as them.

Rousey is getting a rematch because of $$$. Aldo was champion for 10 straight years but I agree shouldn't get a rematch right away, it was a 13 second match, nothing else needs to be said. Weidman you could make a case for because it was a somewhat close fight up until that spinning kick in the third. But I think that fight is going to Romero.

Aldo is going to murder whoever he fights next.
