The UFC HW Road to Gold

The UFC HW Road to Gold

Randy wanted the Brock fight. He wanted the big money fight against the guy who everybody wants to see. He CAME BACK for the fight with Brock. He thought he could win (lol) and he was proven wrong.

Seeing that he left an organization he was contracted to, the organization did what they felt was right and had him hold the title so he couldn't fight elsewhere. Something I disagreed with at the time because I wanted to see Randy/Fedor (lol @ me). But the UFC did the right thing.

Randy came back to fight Brock. He made the choice to. Most likely due to money. And he lost. He was still the champ, therefore, Brock is your UFC HW Champ.

When Nogs fought Tim, it was for the interim title. It's funny because Nogs fought a guy who had lost to Randy and beat Brandon Vera. If barely beating Brandon Vera earns you a title shot, I guess Jardine is the #1 contender at LHW. Nogs won an interim title in a fight that meant shit really... and had Sylvia not saw the stardom that came with a win over Nogs, he wouldn't have made the mistake he did and got subbed and he would've continued to pound Nogs on the feet to the UD.

So let's look at this.

Merr get's his title shot for beating Brock. Justified because Brock is the HW champ. But Brock didn't deserve to be in his title fight because all he did was beat Herring. But Nogs got a title shot for almost losing to Herring then winning a decision in a fight I almost think was a w3rk. And he beat Tim for the interim title after Tim lost to an old man and then decisioned the shittiest fighter in the UFC. Keep in mind that Randy also got a title shot after retiring following consecutive KTFO losses to Chuck Liddell.

And people say Brock didn't deserve the title shot.
