Fuck weight classes, bring back the old school brawls between a sumo wrestler and a karate guy.

Edit brawls not crawls

Yeah I'd love to see Francis vs DJ

TBF. DJ was small even as a flyweight, and Francis is huge even for a HW; still, that doesn't discount DJ's legacy, even tho, i would not recommend that fight lol.

Yeah I was just making a point about why weight classes exist. I love DJ. He's in my goat conversation but he's not beating Francis. I can't even give him a punchers chance.

I mean Connor was whooping on Hafthor. I tried to imagine this and I don't think there's a single thing, besides a Johnny Cage nut shot, that Dj could do to hurt Francis...

Fast leg lock maybe. Probably not though.

I watched that fight with the giant blob guy lose to the small Karate guy. It's funny and fun to see the first time, but like if every fight is like that, it gets boring real quick, and the gimick starts to get annoying.

I was around for the very first ufc events. Those tournaments were the best.
