Well, I'm excited for it.

And that's projection, some of us like him because we like different fighting styles.

He KO'd Whittaker ffs.

No, I also don't think Matt Brown beats Wonderboy.

This is setting to the side that Whittaker now fights 15 lbs heavier.

so if that wasnt the optimal weight class for whitaker, and it was 3.5 years ago, why are you bringing it up like it matters?

wonderboy is responsible for the most boring title fight of all time. he already fought the dude once to a draw and wasnt even fired up enough to come out and take it to him, he has no heart and his tentative style sucks

Oh, ok rep.

And somehow you forgot that Woodley followed that up with legitimately the most boring title fight of all time.

Rep shut your gobbler. The Woodley fights are the only boring fights Wonderboy has ever had, while a lot of Woodleys fights have been awful. Woodley was the one backing up the entire fight, and refusing to engage first.

Wonderboy fights are usually great.

at least woodley completely shut down maia's takedowns and lit him up any time he got in range, maia's face was ****ed up at the end of that fight while neither WB nor woodley had a mark on them after their second match

Let's connect dots:

Weidman and Wonderboy are BILs and bros.

rep hates Weidman.

I think wonderboy was over rated and lacks bushido spirit.

Dudes 16 fights into his career and already a top 3 WW and should have had 2 draws with the champ. Dude is good and still improving.

You don't like the Wonder you can EAD.

He is very good, he has great skills and physical advantages for his wieght class, but he dislikes being punched too much to be champ imo. I'll be happy to admit I'm wrong if he proves otherwise in short order.

all you're doing is reverse freerolling, pinning your hopes for a fun/exciting fight on a dude who lacks bushido spirit

maybe. I'm not talking about cruising to decisions, I'm talking about being scared to engage after getting his bell rung. Maybe I'm wrong. We will find out. I don't judge people for not wanting to go to war or being skilled enough to take minimal damage, its smart and yada, yada but his striking game depends on engaging and taking some risks. GSP had different skills to exploit.

If I had to speculate I'd guess its more the latter, I used to love JDS, but he's a shadow of his former self.
