Backup fighters are a great way to establish a number one contender…

   The Chael makes his own colloquialisms mfs!!

2. Please give me a like for the Bad Guy.

3. Chael sonnen, the only fighter to never lose a round.

4. I like the idea of back up fin threes because it adds the hype to the fight itself rather than it just being a done deal there’s always a possibility of an awesome matchup happening on the fly

6. Low IQ isn't a #1 contender. He's a bum that only beat one ranked guy. He's a bum loser.

7. But how Chael?

8. As a fan I’m down. From a business perspective though this sets up a troubling precedent. It completely alters the service for which a fighter is being paid. It used to be a fighter got paid for showing up and fighting. Now, you’re getting paid for training. I understand this is a new thing they are trying but it still creates incentive not to fight if you’re being paid to train. We all know training is 99% of the work for these guys, but if fighters could be compensated for that alone, how do they not take advantage of that? It changes the dynamic completely.

   Short term I love this. Long term, idk if this fixes the problem of ppl missing weight.

9. I’m a Big fan of Chael Sonnen

10. I like this too but don't like Colby getting the shank.
