That was 2 years ago and the "bump" is like 5 pounds, not a full weight class up
Maybe I'm naive but I think both guys just want to compete and see where they're at and how the other guy feels going live
Is American getting a big check for this? In football when good teams want to schedule cupcakes, they have to pay them hundreds of thousands of dollars
That's how language works. English isn't consistent and logical all the time. Olympics actually doesn't fit with the others. Native English speakers wouldn't say "I won Olympics". They would say "I won THE Olympics." State vs. states is clearly a regional difference and that's fine.
I think you all are failing to realise how hard it is to major Plott. Plott is in his fifth full season thanks to covid. Only one man has ever been able to get a major decision against him.
Woah impressive statistical analysis.
You're too thick to realize you're not proving anything about Ferrari, which is the topic of the argument. You're only showing that Keckeisen is a level above Plott, which no one is arguing. No one is saying Plott is a title contender this year.
You already said that Plott is a level above everyone except for Carter and Keck. Your quote was that Plott is "tier 2 by himself" So if Ferrari shows himself to be a level above Plott... that puts him up with the title contenders.
All your"statistics" (lol) proved was that Keckeisen clearly has Plott's number. Plott has cleared the rest of the field pretty convincingly. Only two guys can ultimately contend for the title. Majoring Plott and keeping Starocci from scoring on you puts you in the conversation
There can be more than two guys who are considered title contenders... So far Ferrari has shown he can keep Starocci from getting a takedown. If he then shows he has the offense to beat Plott convincingly, then of course he should be considered a title contender
This argument makes no sense. Keckeisen is a title contender. It's absurd to say otherwise. So if Ferrari beats Plott in a fashion similar to Keckeisen, then he can reasonably be considered a title contender. No one besides Keckeisen has beat Plott since 2023
