    Pantoja - hit or miss
    Dvalishvili - boring
    Topuria - very entertaining
    Makhachev - entertaining
    Muhammad - super boring
    Du Plessis - entertaining
    Pereira - very entertaining
    Jones - entertaining but ducking
    Zhang - entertaining
    Shevchenko - entertaining but last fight was boring
    Pena - don’t care

      @@TriforceElder08good point he is, but I can kinda see why some some folks would view his fights that way- 1. Past several fights have gone to decision. 2. His overall personality being chill + English isn’t his 1st language. Then 3. That division is overall on the weaker side.

      Pantoja puts on mostly bangers, his next fight should be fireworks. And I would put DDP in the very entertaining category, dude brings it every time. Only fight he had that wasn't awesome was the Strickland fight, and that's because Strickland is allergic to being entertaining

    Dumbest myth in MMA right now. Yeah Merab and Belal aren't exactly appointment viewing but between Ilia, Islam, DDP, Pereira and Aspinall you've got some of the most exciting champs we've seen in years on the men's side. Pantoja is also getting a bit of flak lately but he's been in a lot of bangers and his next fight will be fireworks for sure.

      I wouldnt say they are boring (except for Belal and Merab), but many of them are quite inactive.

    • @Richards80
      @Richards80 3 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Its not a myth. If youve watched long enough youd probably agree the fighters of this era are less entertaining. Inside and outside of the octagon, just a lot less personality.
      The roster being so much bigger and fighters getting less individual promotion also doesnt help. Ufc needs to trim the roster.

    I love good grappling/ wrestling/jujitsu; however, just grabbing someone to just hold them and not try to finish them with a submission or elbows/punches is definitely boring and not combat. You have to engage. Big example: Merab.

    Saying Merab’s fights are exciting is just wild to me. I appreciate grappling, but nothing exciting about grappling when you know the threat of submission or a tko is basically zero, same goes with Belal. Everyone else right now tho I think is an exciting champion.

      It should also be said that Merabs fight with Cejudo and Yan was highly entertaining. Same with his fight with the brasilian dude whom I’m blanking on atm.
      It was really only his fight with Aldo that sucked.
      But this narrative is set now. So what ever.

  • @s2mey382

    There's missing weight and there's failing to make weight. The latter it feels is deliberate a lot of the time so there needs to be harsher punitive measures in place. If you miss weight by a specific threshold then you start a point down

    DDP - not boring, far from it
    Belal - boring, boring
    Merab - boring, boring
    Islam - fun fights more often than not and looking to finish fights
    Aspinall - not boring, far from it
    Pantoja - actually has very fun action fights but not as many people pay attention.

Refusing to say it like it is makes me not want to watch. He sucks. He knows he sucks. Just be honest. Are they afraid to upset Julianna so she stays on the show? I don’t understand. Dana should just cut Belal.
