People, fans sometimes only remember the 'bad' or when a guy has adversity slap him in the face. He takes an L vs Garcia who fought one of his better game plans and then gets dropped by an assumed gimme with Molina. Therefore the " ohh he lost confidence, he's on a decline" gets thrown around. How about just maybe we, some, looked over Molina. Just like just maybe we looked over an assumed Herrera who made Garcia look often clueless and lost? Fans can have a very short term memory and attention span. Sometimes it starts at home too, that card was a ghost ship as far as media promotion and attention on here save for a few. Make no mistake , the sport would greatly benefit from more humble all action fighters who only want to fight good comp.
Well said. Matthysse should have been the main event, but he's far too quiet and acts like a decent human being.

That simply won't do for attracting casual fans.
