[Official] UFC 239: Jones vs. Santos - Live Discussion Thread

Im saying the UFC pushes through its best salesman, not the best fighters, and helps their best salesman exceed expectations with their sales by declaring them "champions", and when you reach a certain status as a salesman for the company, you can basically get away with murder.

And yes some fighters come through and "earn" their respect, but they only makes them all the more marketable.

Did you see Dana Whites response to the scorecards? Something along the lines that "anyone who thought santos won should never judge a fight. no rematch."

Meanwhile the majority consensus seems to be that it was a super close fight where Santos was handicapped, and everyone would love to see the rematch. Seems like Dana is protecting his salesman and the pitch his salesman has to use "undefeated GOAT", because Jones cant fill seats with any sort of likeable, nice guy, entertaining fighter type of pitch.
