On Saturday evening, John Dodson executed a strong game plan to win a clear decision over the former bantamweight title challenger Eddie Wineland at UFC Fight Night: Nashville. It was a strategic performance but one that stirred a great many boos from the Nashville crowd. While Dodson was unhappy with the fans, saying they should appreciate the “art” of MMA, he’s even more unhappy with the rest of the UFC roster for refusing to fight him and making it necessary to fight cautiously.
“When I put people to sleep, no one wants to fight me,” Dodson said after the bout.
