Burgos, who entered his matchup against Josh Emmett as the No. 10 in the official UFC featherweight rankings, plummeted to No. 15 after his loss even though the fight will probably be in the running for the fight of the year for 2020.

UFC has been JEALOUSLY watching fake wrestling for years

They are "manufacturing" a MMA product with their buddies over at shedog

Sports entertainment 101
