I'm not really interested in seeing Rampage fight. How this whole thing goes down between UFC/Bellator/Rampage is far more interesting

 

Dec 22, 2014

Im not interested in seeing him fight a wrestler but if they put him in there with Lil Nog, Shogun, Hendo or Maldonado id watch. Or if they want to eventually feed him to Rumble or Gus id watch that too.

Seems like its almost more of a move to take him away from Bellator then it is for him to fight in the UFC.

Ya but as the Bellator ratings from the Tito/Bonnar card showed ppl do still want to see them no matter how washed up they are. That card peaked at like 2.2 million.

Evans vs Teixeira headlining fn61 on Feb. 22. Very meh.

Rashad needs to drop to MW, i have no interest in seeing him fight Jones again but would love to see him fight Weidman. And if Weidman can make that weight then Rashad can.

Wow, some really sad news. Dominick Cruz tore his right ACL (opposite of his previous two ACL injuries).

Very disheartening, was really looking forward to him vs TJ.

See yea in 2016 Dom.

That fucken sucks, he looked so good in his return too. Feel like its just not meant to be and the Faber trilogy will probably never be completed now as well. To make things worse Raphael Assuncao announced that he broke his ankle in training today as well.

Dear Faber, man up and fight your boy TJ. Realistically though they are gonna force Dillashaw/Barao II right back down our throats. Wish Mighty Mouse would move up and fight TJ since he has nobody to fight with Lineker/McCall booked, but i doubt he would do that.

I wonder how much money UFC will throw at TJ and Faber to try and get them to fight each other

 

Dec 22, 2014

Probably not much, fight would do like 200K buys.

Was just going to report that Cruz injured his ACL. I'm late to the party lol.

f---'s sake Dom is one unlucky guy seeing him fight for the belt was one of my most anticipated fights for next year, I was just waiting for an official date and announcement.

Now let's just wait for something to fall apart between weidman and vitor.

Mighty Mouse moving up would be sweet. I don't see him losing any time at Flyewight, and that would probably give him a larger pay day. h--- while there are no contenders have him move up and if he loses, well he goes back down and holds onto the title. As you said there is really no one to fight, and Mighty Mouse will be looking to get into the cage soon. I wonder if the UFC would even consider the idea right now.

That being said Barao is healthy, took no real damage and will probably fight TJ in April. I'd love to see Faber step up too, but the problem is I don't think he'd go into the fight and give his all. I think he'd just go in half heartedly and maybe TJ would win regardless, but I don't see Faber taking that fight and actually really trying.

Team Alpha Male rep is saying that it's highly unlikely that TJ and Faber will fight each other

 

Dec 23, 2014

John Dodson is saying he wants to have dual runs at both 125 and 135

WSOF 17 main card...yeppppp that promotion is going under soon. Wish WSOF would just give the UFC Marlon Moraes, he could probably fight for the belt immediately although they probably would give him a top 10 guy first.

Brian Foster vs. Jake Shields
Brian Cobb vs. Johnny Nunez
Krasimir Mladenov vs. Jesse Taylor
Bryson Hansen vs. Rudy Morales
Adam Cella vs. Danny Davis Jr.

 

Dec 24, 2014

Oh wow, I was just wondering the other day what Adam Cella had been up to post TUF. Would like to see him get another shot in the UFC at some point. I also hope Foster beats Shields and gets a shot at the UFC

It's that time again. Bit of a different focus on this one but still good nonetheless.

This has been such a slow MMA week/weekend, literally nothing on. You would think some of these mid level organizations would take advantage of one of the rare weekends where the UFC doesnt have an event.

Seems like the rumor of Brock coming back have gotten stronger and love him or hate him thats a good thing for the UFC. PPV numbers all across the board were higher when he was around.

Rampage vs Jardine-350K
Evans vs Machida-635K
Franklin vs Wandy(tape delayed from Germany)-360K
Couture vs Big Nog-435K
Evans vs Thiago Silva-300K...card got smoked by injuries

Edson Barboz vs Michael Johnson to co-main the Rashad vs Glover card
