OFFICIAL MMA THREAD: 5/18- UFC ON FX: VITOR BELFORT/ LUKE ROCKHOLD, JACARE SOUZA/CAMOZZI - Page 151

Barao is the true champ anyway.

Cruz hasn't fought since Chuck Liddell was relevant.

So yea its official. Barao is out with an injury. Main event will now be Rashad Evans vs. Dan Henderson. 3 rounds only though.

Barnett is back in the UFC, and Roy Nelson will be fighting Stipe Miocic at UFC 161. Soa Palelei will now serve as a backup opponent if someone gets injured.

Barnett wants Frank Mir. He's been asking for that fight on multiple interviews.
post #4506 of 4522
Barnett might be the best pure grappler in mma he has grappled with and beaten blackbelts and has never trained Bjj .Mir should be tough but he might get walked through if a healthy Barnett fights .

All that grappling didn't help him against Cormier

Catch Wrestling is widely considered one of, if not the, most brutal grappling martial art out there.

BJJ is not the only form of grappling. Not saying that's what you meant, but just because you've never trained BJJ doesn't mean you aren't a proficient grappler who can beat BJJ blackbelts.

Which kind of goes to what awwsome said. Great wrestler can negate great submission grappler etc.

Barnett's standup is worse than Mir's so we might see Frank with another KO.
post #4510 of 4522
I'm saying he is real good grappler and has the grappling iq to take the fight to the ground and sub Mir.Josh stand up might not be extremely good but I think he can take down Mir .The Cormier fight was kinda bad because josh broke his hand in the first round.Josh is a good dude .I train bjj and I'm familiar with all the different grappling arts through rolling with various guys .Frank is tough dude and I'm a fan of his but he seems to ,gas and go blank sometimes .

Happy Barnett is back, I am pretty sure he will get that Mir fight. And win.

Watch Countdown to 160 today, anyone giving Te-Huna a chance against Glover?

Overeem vs Browne announced for UFC on fox sports 1

Absolutely no way Barnetts sub game is good enough to submit Mir. Mir is one of the top HW grapplers currently.
Cain although not a great bjj player is still one of the best grapplers.

I have Glover winning, but I think Te-Huna will hang for the most part. Can't wait for this weekend!

How would you guys feel if a TRT user wins a belt? I don't think casual fans even know about TRT so there won't be much public criticism. I don't think it would be a good look for the UFC though. If you need extra testosterone to be able to train and fight then maybe you need to retire.

The thing with TRT is that almost everyone who has a TUE for it is past their prime and no longer a legitimate contender. Vitor is the only dude who is likely to challenge for a title soon, and I think it's more because of skill than TRT, tbh. I still think Anderson smashes him again though.

 

TRT or getting added testosterone is really hard to test for because T levels can increase or decrease rapidly, so it's easy to cycle off. The reason I point that out is because that means that pretty much anyone can be using it and will almost never get caught. A lot of fighters have said that a ton of fighters are using some kind of PED, and I would believe it.

 

tl;dr The guys with TUEs are too old to compete for the title and we'll never know who else is on it, so shrug
