I don't think it should be that black and white. If Belal moved up would you be happy to see him get a straight middleweight shot?

I respect giving up the belt to move up but I think it can't be that black and white.

Let's face it the UFC don't have any hard and fast rules, particularly around stripping guys of belts due to inactivity. If there's a fight they want to make they can just **** with the rankings anyway.

Re Belal I don't think it would happen mainly because he's not a big draw, someone like Pereira it's a no brainer, genuine headliner. Plus I really think DDP is way too big for him anyway.

President Conor McGregor !!!

He's almost universally despised in Ireland. That being said, if he hits the immigrant topic hard enough, who the hell knows now?!

Dunno if many fans will support this but I am losing love of the UFC. Too many wrestlers grinding victories now at the top. Brady dominated Leon and he deserved it but I'm starting to peer across at BKFC a bit more now. There's just too many guys in the sport who do anything they can to minimise damage to themselves. I get it. It's successful, but I wanna see the rules change a little. There's risk when you throw a combination, there isn't really a risk for takedowns. I think they need to get rid of the grounded bullshit completely. I get people are vulnerable, your also vulnerable after you throw a one two and don't keep your hands up.

I don't hate the way Islam and Khabib wrestled especially at the top, they wrestled to find submissions or ground and pound. Maybe the answer is a standup after 30s if you aren't going for strikes or submissions

I imagine he'll become president, as crazy as that sounds, because the Irish are suffering. Communities have been bombarded with immigrants.

I also don’t like wrestle heavy grapplers who don’t want to actually engage other than use their control, but if we’re going to remove certain aspect of the sport then it’s no longer MMA.

Is the sport about mixed martial arts and who can use the skills set they have the best or not?

Fair post also. It’s a conundrum no doubt. Was there talk of allowing head buts ?
