It kinda seems like Helwani instigates things between people sometimes.
Javier basically apologized to Koshcheck. Pretty surprising. He seems like a decent guy for owning up to his faults for the fallout between the two of them. I say Koshcheck and him mend their relationship and move on.
I don’t know if BJ actually reads these comments, but on the chance that Pedro or JD sees this and passes it along, here’s the solution to the AKA drama.
Call Javier and tell him that the fight with Rory will be your final fight at 170, and if you resign with the UFC, then you’re moving back down to 155. If Fitch still wants a rematch, then he’s going to have to cut down to lightweight. Of course he’s never going to do that, so there’s no conflict of interest for the team and BJ training in San Jose.
That’s a pretty good resolution to training at AKA! I get why BJ wants to train there since he has history w/ them & their wrestling pedigree would probly greatly help BJ train w/ fighters like that (Rory relies on wrestling & G/P mostly)! Yet I feel that, an even better alternative would be train at “Team Black House”! That would be sick!!! LOL
+100
I’ve been wanting this for a couple of years now
kinda sucks that they’re sticking to this code of theirs after fitch cried about not wanting bj training at aka.
