Talking from the outsiders perspective (I consider myself an outsider to the FC community as FC is very much a "minority discipline" on my shows and also in my circle of contacts), I would say that Barinder Singhs post on here seems the most sensible. Same as Barinder said, I have never met Marlon or many of the others on here at all but personally think that 3 months is adequate notice.

However on the flip side, this thread and the show were all about who the best in that division was. I.E. the Undisputed best of FC pound for pound as well.
That is probably why everyone is stressing.
Also , from some of the recent covnersations on the phone i have had with people, this whole thread and consequently FC in turn have become a laughing stock!

When the main names in FC feel the need to "stress" as Barinder puts it and basically "take the piss" out of one of FC's greatest fighters it does not do a great deal for FC's image as a whole in my honest opinion. The above opinion is the same for a lot of "outsiders" like myself. In fact they think the whole thread has been reduced to bad comedy.
