Instead, according to &quot;Raging Al&quot;, this title should go as a real division champion.<\/p>\n<p id=\"0ZT6Kr\">In an interview with MMA Fighting, Iaquinta said, \u201cI think the hardest mother is the real champion.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4OPUre\">\u201cI don&#39;t know, but it&#39;s a bit strange to put a belt on someone who isn&#39;t really a champion, but these two are bad moms. Not my job, I&#39;m a traditionalist, and the champion is a champion. If they are belting others on my weight class, I will feel very rude as a champion. \u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"KsqNYO\">Despite his disapproval of making a belt that can&#39;t put a candle in a real UFC title, Iaquinta is happy to see the former lightweight outstanding Masvidal do well at 170 pounds. Iaquinta won the \u201cGamebred\u201d after defeating Miami in a split decision in 2015. Later, this was one of the most impressive victories in Iaquinta&#39;s UFC career.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"6NBonB\">\n<\/aside>\n<p id=\"x7ZipE\">Iaquinta said, \u201cI think he was always a tough guy, always tough, so he got what he deserved and found something new in 170 years. \u201cI think he likes something a bit bigger and doesn&#39;t lose too much weight and exhaust himself. I think he&#39;s just a street fight. I think that&#39;s more. He is pleased to go there and gain a lot of success there without losing too much weight. \u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"c7j4aC\">Masvidal definitely shined in the last two outings. There was a continuous knockout in the first round. Worth all the attention he is experiencing over the past few months. Maybe \u201cGamebred\u201d is lucky in Iaquinta, hooking up in Melbourne this weekend.<\/p>\n<p id=\"wGtJRT\">UFC 243 will be broadcast live as ESPN + PPV inside Marvel Stadium tomorrow night (Saturday, October 5, 2019) and will now feature a major event title fight between UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker and interim king Israel Adesanya.<\/p>\n<p id=\"T3zAa9\"><strong>MMAmania.com blows one round of the entire UFC 243 battle card, which is scheduled to start at 6:30 pm, starting the Fight Pass \/ ESPN + &quot;Prelims&quot; match online.
