“we can go all day claiming pettis or cerrone would beat kenflo but the main thing is kenflo beat the top contenders to get his shots. he had to beat diego nunes for a shot at aldo - he wasnt just given a straight shot. he took out all the top guys at lw at the time to get his shot at bj, unlike pettis where he lost to guida and is still working his way up. style makes fights, but u have to earn ur fights - unless ur chael of course.”

Kenflo beat bums to get his shot. Showtime just steamrolled two top 10 LW's to earn his shot which he is instead opting to take it in a weaker division that needs a superfight because the champ is currently tied up exposing another Cesar Gracie can/SF bum. Pettis can leapfrog whoever he wants, he has been a world champ and got that win over the current LW champ. Kenflo was never world champ. He was a notorious choker.

“nate diaz beat cerrone worse than pettis did AND HE STILL HAD TO FIGHT JIM MILLER. who the fuck is cerrone? ill tell u who he is, a guy slightly above ranked than lauzon, stephens, and guida but lower than jim miller, nate diaz, maynard and edgar. beat an actual top contender and not ask for unwarranted title shots, u aint chael sonnen and no one remembers the shit u did in the wec. he lost to guida ffs.”

LMAOOOO. Nate beat Cerrone worse than Showtime ROFL!!! holy hell i havent laughed like that since this one guy said Rumble Johnson would beat Bisping. And what do you not get by Pettis has earned his LW title shot? He has gotten it by beating the guys he has beaten and Zuffa confirmed his shot. Name a contender more deserving than Showtime.. Instead he is taking it at FW but it seems the champ wants no part of him. And Nate Diaz lost to Guida ffs as well. Just refreshing your memory there.

obviously the ufc didnt feel pettis really "deserved" shit since they replaced him with a super overrated guy in el nino. if u get replaced my melendez then whoever is picking the matches obviously doesnt think too much of you. go beat a top guy like edgar, maynard, diaz, or even jim miller. earn that shit, dont cry about it.
and yes nate absolutely destroyed cerrone, a liver kick is nice and all but anyone can chalk it up as just a good one time shot, not a continuous beat down. one can even argue nate took cerrones soul and made him an easier fight for pettis.

They didnt replace him with El Nino. They made that fight before they saw how much of a better fight Cowboy would put up after he steamrolled Cerrone. IF they pulled El nino from the fight he has been crying over for years he would continously cry like his crybaby teammates. And quit acting like Diaz is a top fighter. Did we not just see him fully exposed to the fullest extent? I mean, for christ sake the dude got rocked by a punch to the leg LMAO. He got floored twice, dumped on his head, and continously outgrappled. That was one of the most one sided title fights ever. Showtime would destroy Nate. Outstriking him all day leaving NAte wondering why his dangly little arms arent landing lol. And yes, Showtime destroyed Cerrone was worse. Nate and Cowboy looked like two drunken idiots slap boxing. Nate showed no power and looked real slow in that fight. His performance against Miller who he outsized tremendously was a lot better. MEanwhile, Showtime partially clipped Cerrone with a cartwheel kick, outpunched him, landed an off the cage knee to the face, and slammed 2 brutal liver kicks to his midsection. so yeah...

I say let KZ knock em out.
