The event, it seemed, was doomed almost from the outset. Whether it was heavyweight Mark Hunt's withdrawal from the main event due to "medical concerns" or Joanne Calderwood's scratching because of an "undisclosed injury", a doping violation for The Ultimate Fighter Series: Redemption winner Jesse Taylor, and then four separate weight misses on the card's eve, UFC Fight Night Sydney had more than its fair share of missteps.
If it's offered to me, of course, I'm gonna fight for the lightweight title. But as everyone knows, I'm pretty real with everything. Right now, it's like, do I deserve a shot at the lightweight title? I know I don't. I'm not planning to fight for another two to three years. For me to deserve another shot like that I'm gonna need another two to three wins.
