It’s understandable that MMA promoters will sometimes want to rematch fighters long after their original bouts. There’s usually a well-remembered history there and some curiosity about how things would go if they were ever to fight again. The fighters themselves are also usually enthusiastic about the prospect. One fighter will long have wanted revenge and this will pretty much always get to the other fighter, who grows sick of the talk and wants to show his continued supremacy.
