I think you are kind of on an island with the Cormier hate bruh. 7 of his last 10 fights ended in a stoppage, only 3 went to decision. For his entire career, he has a 67% stoppage rate (win or lose).
His ability to make 205 or go up and bully the heavy weights is kind of crazy. It is one thing to jump divisions that have 10 lbs difference. He is doing with with a 60 lbs variance. And it is not a fluke. He did it in Strikeforce and he is doing it in the UFC.

They're fighters, not performers. There's an element of entertainment, but there are exactly zero combat athletes who get to and stay at the top of the heap by taking unnecessary risks.

UFC 230 prelims on FS 1 averaged 635,000 viewers, which would be the lowest number for FS 1 prelims since UFC 215, on Sept. 9, 2017. It did beat UFC 224 and UFC 228 this year that were on FX, but was the lowest of the eight prelims this year on FS 1.

I never hated on DCs prowess as a fighter. If anything I gave him his due in those regards.
I did say he was boring, and was not someone who CARES about putting on a performance. How can people sit here and objectively shit on Miocic for not "selling fights" etc, but then not acknowledge that Cormier should have an obligation to do the same.
Talking shit isnt the only aspect of this. It also includes what you do in the Octagon.
Take Tony Furgeson for example. He is the fucking complete OPPOSITE of DC. This guy is training Wing Chung techniques and then actually fucking attempts those techniques IN THE OCTAGON. The guy is taking risks, he throws nasty elbows, spinning strikes, awkward kicks that produce flash but can also leave a fighter stiff.
He is a performer, AND a fighter. Both of those aspects are equally important to him, and its fucking huge. We need more Tony Furgesons and less DC's.
