I am always seeing different types of pictures on twitter of fighters and stuff so I thought I would start a thread where we could put them.
Here's one of the UFC press conference setup, pretty interesting place to do a press conference!
"“All of a sudden, he was shooting for a takedown, and I’m like, ‘Oh, you’re a wrestler now? Remember, I’m the black belt in jiu-jitsu. And you’re shooting on me now? This is a wrap." - Nate Diaz"

Franklin, you must not have read what I have put in these threads. The RDA fight makes sense as when McGregor loses, he can still fight at 145 so their fight has nothing to do with taking a risk at all.
A risk would be fighting Aldo or Edgar at 145.
You suffer from True Believerism.

Also, think about how long it would take any Russian fighter to ever get a title shot (GGG will get to fight the best in the world in his division faster if he transitions to MMA than in the sport he's killing dudes in). Khabib would be able to just go ahead and stay injured because no champ would fight him - dangerous, doesn't have a "selling name" = easiest guy to duck ever) - no one's ducking him in MMA, the minute he's healthy he'll be fast-tracked to the title shot.
All in all the UFC have done a great job giving people the fights they want. No champ has ever been able to duck anyone for too long (even Tito eventually got plastered by Chuck, no matter how hard he tried not to meet him).
Of course, every now and then a Nick Diaz will get GSP on a loss, a Frankie Edgar will have to wait longer than he "deserves" (I hate that word), a Dillashaw that'll get his shot because everyone in his division is dead (worked out pretty well, don't you think?) or a DJ will have to fight a bunch of #7s because there's no one in his division, but that's just the way it goes, you can't be perfect. With timelines, storylines, fighter schedules, business factors and injuries you're going to have to get creative a lot of the time.
There are quite a few things I think the UFC doesn't do well (and a lot I think they do extraordinarily well), but when it comes to title fights they're mostly on the money. The LAST think I want to happen is for MMA to take a book out of boxing's matchmaking. Bad example.
