It's clear now that Moicano is a legit title contender and should have stats to reflect that. EDIT: LOL Level 2 Jab still. And Aldo has a level 4 rear leg kick. What do you have to do to get level 5 moves if these guys don't have their signatures at level 5?

There are several flip flop decisions that make the stat changes look like someone had a manic episode (Joanna's stamina and speed plummeting and then going right back to what they were after one fight/TJ Dillashaw now being the DJ of BW, although it is nice to see FLW get another viable fighter).

I like that Poirier is actually playable now. Still think his ground and takedowns should be just a point or two higher, but his stamina finally being changed (I think it was something embarrassing like 88) to a respectable 93 to reflect his true cardio level.

Aldo getting a few nice buffs, can't say I really agree, but I use him so. . . yay.
Cant say I agree with your Moicano take. Here are the buffs:

Moicano: Power plus 4 (86), strike speed plus 4 (89), sub o plus 1 (91), top game plus 2 (90)

We buffed him 4 points really off of one jab. Now part of that is because he was underrated to begin with but an 86 feels good for a guy with 0 KO wins in his career and who I cant recall hurting someone with strikes in the UFC before the Swanson fight. Now I completely agree that he shouldve received a jab buff but thats outta my hands.

What were the stamina and speed changes on Joanna?

I dont get how TJ is the "DJ of BW" because of one decent buff (plus 2 in power) and 2 small ones (plus in in strike speed in footwork)? The power buffs are deserved and he still isnt the most powerful BW (Lineker and Cody). None of those buffs make him the highest in the division in those categories.

Aldo got one change from what I can see and that was a footwork buff.
