So the state Barnett and Crocop came into their bout is of huge relevance to me.
So, technically, Crocop is 1-0 this year in his weight class. And BS decision or no (it was anybodys game come decision time though, I admit), Barnett beat Nog. "could have, would have, should have," but things happened the way they happened. 
I think people are overrating the OWGP belt. Competition matters to me more than who wins a belt.
And wow....people picked Wandy? I could see people thinking he could get past Crocop (at least at the time), get a big punch in or something. But people really felt he could get past Barnett or Nog? Blasphemous. |
In case you didn't remember the Sherdog poll before the OWGP happened, 30% of Sherdog posters thought that Wandy was going to win it, a higher percentage than any of the other three fighters.
And I think you need to respond to the poster above you rather than me, he made his points much more clearly than I did.
