Brian Stann and Jon Anik are the real A Team, I would like to see them experiment and throw Rogan in with those two and have a 3 man team... although I do prefer just 2.

Cruz was very green at commentating. But because of his analyst skills he has a ton of potential. Florian gets excited and yells too much.

-Eddie Wineland vs Bryan Caraway added to UFC on Fox 16
-Holly Holm vs Marion Reneau added to the San Diego Fight Night
-Cody Pfister vs Yosdenis Cedeno and Neil Seery vs Louis Smolka added to UFC 189
-Matt Van Buren vs Jonathan Wilson added to Nashville FN

Also they announced a couple more fights for the Scotland card in the last week. Still needs 2 or 3 main card fights. Think the plan was always to do JJ vs Calderwood for the belt but then Jojo lost and that threw a wrench in the plans. Think they were still gonna have JJ defend the belt there but then Gus fell out of the Glover fight and they plugged her in there. If i had to guess its probably gonna be something like Bisping/Leites or Bisping/Mousasi. Would love for it to be Overeem/JDS though, who knows it is a FS1 card so it could be. They will probably announce it at the post fight presser Saturday night.

Joseph Duffy vs. Ivan Jorge
Paul Redmond vs. Robert Whiteford
Leon Edwards vs. Pawel Pawlak
Ilir Latifi vs. Hans Stringer
Leonardo Mafra vs. Stevie Ray

Bisping vs Leites will headline Scotland card, pretty expected, Ross Pearson vs Evan Dunham added to the card as well. Plus Patrick Cummins vs Feijao added to the Rousey/Betch card.

^supposedly 10K/10K is the new floor for UFC newcomers

Anyways

Paddy Holohan vs Vaughan Lee added to Scotland card
Hacran Dias vs Chas Skelly added to the TUF Brazil Finale(that is in Florida not Brazil)

Also that WSOF card that is going head to head with Rousey/Betch is looking like their best card to date. They are also introducing a FLW title now. Since they released Jessica Aguilar maybe they are looking to put another belt out there.

Rousimar Palhares vs Jake Shields-For WW Title
Marlon Moraes vs Sheymon Moraes-For BW Title
Magomed Bibulatov vs. Donavon Frelow-For Inaugral FLW Title
Tyrone Spong vs Mike Kyle

 

May 26, 2015

Nice, good to see them upping the entry level pay.

War Shields!
and Spong!

was trying to listen to the mma hour today...

Ariel is riding DC's d-ck so hard. Because he knows him personally he has an extremely biased opinion of him and the situation. He keeps calling him the "lineal" champ. To be the lineal champ you need to be the man that beat the man, which DC did not do. He is just the promotional champ.

 

May 27, 2015

UFC Tonight they said RDA won't be back until December. I know Cowboy is hurt but I would be shocked to see him wait that long. Starting to wonder what the UFC is gonna do for 191 on September 5th. Part of me thinks they planted Bader in that press conference to get that ball rolling on promoting that fight. I mean what else could they do other then DJ/Dodson 2 or Weidman vs Rockhold/Jacare? and I don't see Weidman doing the quick turn around.

 

May 28, 2015

fuuck man, the lw title is cursed... at least when bendo held it it was defended regularly.

I hope the chris has a quick turn around, he needs to build some momentum. if DC is ready put him in the with bader asap. hopefully bones will be back soon and shut dc up.

new conor interview

whether Hendricks likes it or not, the UFC should have him fight Woodley. Then set up Matt Brown vs Condit. then take the more impressive performance (likely the NBK) and have him fight the winner of Lawler/MacDonald

Hey I recommend you guys give this a listen or download this podcast. Its an interview with Jennifer Wenk the former PR person for the UFC. Its a long and fascinating interview.

I wanted Hendricks to take another fight back in March but now that 189 is right around the corner it's doubtful that Hendricks takes a fight. I won't be amped for a 3rd fight but I think Rory wins this time and that's a fight I can get behind.

Condit/Brown is the must make fight and I think we end up with Woodley vs Maia. I still think they need to put Woodley in a 5 round main event to see where his cardio is at.

 

Jun 1, 2015

All great points that I agree with. I think Rory is the future.

Not sure who Woodley ends up fighting, Mia does seem to be a logical choice, but not something I am too excited to see.

I will tell you where his cardio is at, the same place its always been.

Any way the ufc release the following fighters:
Tim Elliott
Dylan Andrews
Louis Gaudinot
Alptekin Ozkilic
Vik Grujic
Shayna Baszler
Shane Howell
Rocky Lee
Tateki Matsuda
Alexander Torres

I hope/think Tim Elliott will make it back, he is better than his record suggests. He just faced some tough guys.
Shayna should probably retire.
