re: Gilbert Burns Out Of UFC 251

The top three welterweights in order right now are

1. Marty Fake Newsman
2. Colby Covington
3. Gilbert Burns

Burns is extremely impressive and it’s unfortunate his fight got pulled.

Covington was up 3-1 on one of the judges scorecard going into the final round of the Marty fight (one judge had it tied, other judge had Marty up 3-1) until he ultimately got caught after a couple of fake injuries Marty sold to the ref when he was on the verge of going down. It was a damn good fight and could have gone either way, but Marty is still the champ so he’s ranked #1. A second fight between these two is needed.

Journeyman Jorge “Street Judas” Masvidal will get swept and mopped up by all three of the above. Sure he struck lightning in a bottle over the last year with a couple of impressive finishes, but there is a reason why he has double digit losses

Street Judas is just like Nate “Hooked on Phonics” Diaz. They’re popular with the fans because of their thugged out personalities and style, but they’re journeymen with 12+ losses each.
