Can someone fill me in why Travis is so disliked? What did he do?

Ronda Rousey's boyfriend

 

[serenewarfare]

You're gonna stop it on an arm punch with one second to go? Good call, guys.

The rules state you need to intelligently defend yourself. Browne was turning away and turtling up. He was done. Delaying a legit finish because of the clock is just as stupid as the idea of calling/not calling a foul because of the time left on the clock in any other sport. A finish is a finish and Browne was finished.

He's dating Ronda (who is very disliked herself) Rousey and there's grumblings of domestic violence in his past.

 

[YaGaMi]

Browne wanted out of the fight. Left the ref no choice.

 

[FUME5]

Claims of domestic violence by his ex wife for starters.

Cheated on his wife I think also some domestic violence.

Call me out if wrong

If you're gonna stop it on that trash why not just stop it when Cain was actually doing damage?

For the record, I hate both fighters. Don't care who won. I agree that Cain was likely to end up winning. Just a dumb way to end it.

2 more fights then its Brock time. Aldo and Edgar is a 5 round fight (I think) and Silva Cormier is a 3 round one.

Exactly. Had the guy actually bothered to intelligently defend himself and show signs of doing anything but shitting himself then it would have been a bad stoppage but he wasn't. It was good no ifs ands or buts.

 

[Aiii]

Gotta love that cage assisted superman punch.

It's no more or less dumb than if it had been stopped ten seconds earlier. Why does the time on the clock matter when the stoppage was clear?

This wasn't a healthy Bork.

[Chesskid1]

Was just about to ask this.

Basically nothing.

UFC hype train working it's magic

 

[Fitts]

Would be cool if Silva has one last Silva kind of knockout moment for the win and rides off into the sunset.

He ain't going anywhere. You gotta hand it to Anderson, he used to claim that he was bored and wanted a challenge when he was unstoppable. Now that he's well past his prime he's got his challenge and is walking the walk. It sucks to see him a shell of his former self, but he's proven it wasn't all talk. Hespect.

Edit: just disregard the PED stuff tho lol k thnx.

First of the losers belt.

Never forget

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAA

 

[painey]

WOW, Aldo is barely the underdog.. I just put some money on him.. I expected him to be the massive favourite

 

[Ninja Scooter]

lol I see this is the narrative now

 

[MassiveNights]

Can someone explain what a interim title is?

When your champion is injured or unavailable for a period of time, they put a temporary belt on someone else so they can have a unification fight down the line, or if the title holder vacates the title.

In this case it's because McGregor is pursuing heavier weight classes and is engaged in a rivalry with Nate Diaz.

It's basically a fancy #1 contender.

 

[Classic_Gs]

First of the losers belt.

J.O.B. squad?

 

[Dot50Cal]

Can someone explain what a interim title is?

Ususally used when the actual champ is not available to fight IE: Aldo pulled out of the first McGreggor fight so when he fought Mendez for the Interim title.

It basically means they are a paper champ and whomever wins it is in line to fight the "actual" champ.

 

[BadAss2961]

Basically nothing.

Pretty much. They should scrap the concept entirely.

 

[oneofthose]

the new ultimate warrior!

 

[Aiii]

Gassed before the 1st round starts.

 

[serenewarfare]

Can someone explain what a interim title is?

Champ is injured/away for whatever reason so they create another belt for the division so they don't have to strip the title from the champion and can keep promoting title fights. Then they face the actual champion to unify the titles.

 

[Hidden One]

lol I see this is the narrative now

It was a work.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

To me, the fight is 50/50.

Wait what...so because McGregor wants to go up a weight he keeps his current title and diesnt have to defend it? Im confused

 

[amodelmerol]

Hermosa patada de Cain!
