UFC 327 just had one of the wildest conclusions to a fight ever. One in which, Jiri Prochazka basically had his opponent, Carlos Ulberg, all but beaten with a severely damaged leg. He took pity on Ulberg and paid the price with his consciouness and of course lost the title he's missed on 3 times now.

The champion of a division is often the easiest way to gauge the weight class' health. Well what happens when a respected or even hated champion leaves suddenly and there aren't good options to pick up the pieces? These are the times the make up title fights proved just how bad the champion leaving really waas.

The UFC is facing a growing amount of criticism these days, but it's not just that, they are losing big stars to rivals, meanwhile their divisions are struggling to keep the title picture going. What is going on and will the UFC fix these issues?

Rematches are one of the best things that can happen in MMA. Usually the 2nd fight is even bigger than the first when beloved champions and former champions are involved. For these examples though, most of them were either done way too soon, because of star power alone or even ones done way too late and when fighters weren't really able anymore.

Some fighters can never stay out of trouble, but these fighters... oh man, they NEVER seem to get out of their own. The problem is, you want to be their fan, these problems just keep arising. Ronda Rousey has won over a lot of people lately, Arman has maybe started to pushed through his controversies, but they keep happening. And why is it every champion these days like Islam Makhachev for Ilia Topuria seem to hate their original weight classes? What happened to legacy champions.

Records are meant to be broken, even the longest standing MMA records ever. No one is safe!

It's tough enough to get to the top of the mountain. It's even tough to get finishes on the way up, but to command the kind of fear these champions did over their entire reigns is entirely due to their stopping power every second of every fight. That's what makes them the real BMFs. The best fighters on the planet who destroyed their opposition time in and time out.

The BMF title was originally an awesome idea, organically created by Nate Diaz calling out Jorge Masvidal. It was supposed to be a 1-of-1 specialty attraction based on the style of both guys, but then the UFC just had to go on and corporatize it and yea... run it into the ground. Max Holloway made it worth it with some of his performances, but a few of them now have spectacularly failed and none worse than this last one. Oliveira was being told to fight in a style different from what he does, and this is just dumb.
