But this is the fight game, with 4oz gloves. Getting caught happens. It ain't like Miocic (or Aldo) were worked over for 4-5 rounds and then lost convincingly. They just got caught early. Luck, basically. That to me just makes a rematch more of a necessity, but at the very least doesn't have any merit as an argument to not give a rematch. Shit's silly. Just cause UFC doesn't have any credible arguments for the lack of loyalty they show their fighters, so come up with nonsense narratives for the plebs as excuses, doesn't mean you gotta parrot their gibberish without even thinking about it yourself. C'mon man.
Miocic is a dummy for even taking that DC fight. Should have told UFC to kick rocks. Not as if DC has ever been a fooking draw himself.
