I completely agree with this. I mean, christ, that is just not good for the sport.

Maybe Brock Lesnar should make an agreement with his next opponent where he gets to F5 them and he’ll let them get a few clean shots off standing.

That seems fair. BUYS!

This kind of nonsense is ruinous for the sport in terms of both integrity and aesthetics. The fight, I mean, not the article.

I really don’t see any wrongdoing by Davis. He basically just made a challenge which he knew favored him.
It’s actually hard for me to get too worked up about Lytle, who will never be a champion, making a statement like that, either. I agree that he should be trying to win, and the UFC should be making it more worthwhile for him.

To be fair, the UFC did send a message that winning counts by releasing Gurgel despite his string of fight of the night bonuses. That doesn’t rectify the problem, but does ameliorate it somewhat.
