You can call me a hipster, or someone who watches MMA for 20 years now. You probably think Cro Cop vs Fedor was boring. That Machida was also a boring fighter etc. Wonderboy-Woodley 2 was a bad fight, as was Woodley-Maia. Woodley was fighting specialists and was fighting too carefully. But Rory-Wonderboy was not that kind of a fight, even Dana White said it was a great fight and you know he would shit on them if it was boring.
