I feel bad for DJ. The dude is a stud but man, never have I been less interested in seeing a champion fight.

No idea what it is, maybe the complete lack of worthy competition, or perhaps cos he's 125, even though I usually enjoy the little guys fighting.

People were walking out after the 4th round. Normally I'd call them stupid for missing that armbar, but I can't really blame them. DJ could have went for that arme something like 15 minutes before he eventually did. His style is so damn boring. It's too perfect.

The problem is just like the womens 135lb division. Little talent in the division. DJ wouldn't be top 3 in the BW division but rules 125 by a mile. Ian McCall is the #3 Flyweight yet his skillset in any other division and hes probably not on the UFC roster, and his UFC record is 2-3-1 as a flyweight. Has Rousey ever faced a legitimate BJJ black belt? Shes sure subbed a bunch of purple belts though, which doesn't impress me given Rondas credentials. Find some legit competition for DJ and RR and more people would care when their division headlines a PPV.

Shame John Linekar has been forced to move up to BW. He'd be one of the only guys in the division worth giving a title shot too, the only others are Jussier da Silva if he wins another one, and re-matches with Dodson and Benavidez. There's still a few fights left for DJ, but there's not anyone that really stands out and deserves a shot at the belt!

Forgot about Cejudo. If he can keep the weight down, he'd be a real threat to DJ. That wrestling is hard to contend with, no matter how good DJ is!
