The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- UFC 300 ON NOW

Imagine if Bisping wins. He "beat" Anderson Silva then takes the title off Luke. He'd have to retire right there, it wouldn't go anywhere but down for him after that :lol:. I wouldn't even be mad though, he got screwed taking L's to trt and illegal steroid abusers his entire career. And he also beat Chael IMO.


Unfortunately Luke is probably gonna **** his whole **** up

I thought he beat chael too. I was very impressed with his grappling in that fight.
 
Weidman on why he had to pull out

"I just wanna let my fans know as many details as possible about what happened to me because I want them involved as much as possible. It's
the least I can do to give back for all the love and support I have received now and over the years.
To all the people bad-mouthing me right now, I understand it and you're entitled to your opinion. Just wanna make sure you know this is
a fight I refused to pull out of no matter what. I was never in better shape, more healthy, motivated, confident and excited for a fight in
my life. I also felt I was the best fighter I have ever been and made some great improvements.
Since my high-school wrestling days, my neck, every once in a while, would get stiff. Every athlete who has been competing in any sport experiences this, but it usually goes away pretty quickly in a day or two. It never has been a real problem for me or slowed me down.
So, I recently sparred on a Thursday night and nothing drastic at all happened during sparring. After sparring, my neck was fine and our
team actually discussed afterwards how good I was feeling as a fighter. The next morning, I happened to wake up with a stiff neck and
with a little nerve pain in my neck and arm but figured it go away in a day or two. Like I said, I'm used to this pain. So I went on with my
workouts on Friday and actually felt relatively good. It got a little more serious Friday night and Saturday morning. Friday night, I
couldn't sleep or get comfortable and went from my bed to my daughter's to my son's then to the couch, just trying anything to get
comfortable. When I finally woke up on Saturday, which is a sparring day, I had severe vertigo which I never experience before. I was losing my balance and not walking straight and the neck was worse then ever. So I got scared and ended up going to an urgent care where they sent me to get a MRI. I then found out I had a large extrusion
herniation, which was stuck on a nerve that shuts down the tricep and and forearm area. So I figured I could get an epidural and I would be good and there was zero chance in my head I was pulling out.
The first spine specialist I went to in NYC was blown away by the size of it and told me he wasn't very optimistic about an injection for me
and thought surgery was the way to go, but I just figured he's a surgeon and let him know about how big this fight is and that there is zero chance I'm backing out and getting a surgery. So he sent me to a specialist who does injections, and by looking at MRI images, agreed that the chances of epidural relieving that nerve pain would be minimal, but I was still optimistic and thought either way I'm
fighting through this.
So a few days pass until I could get approved for the injection, so I just continued doing cardio and whatever I could to work around the
neck until they could get me in for that epidural.
After finally getting the epidural, nothing changed. During this time I couldn't sleep or get through any regular-day activity with the pain I was experiencing. I actually felt my best when I was working out but I couldn't survive throughout the day and night without painkillers and other medication to try to block nerve pain. I had another
epidural scheduled for this Thursday but the doctors said again that it most likely wouldn't make a difference. I still planned on fighting
until yesterday when my coaches and loved ones really just put their foot down. The people I trusted most were not behind me fighting and
pushing through. So before getting the second epidural I decided to give the UFC a fair amount of time to find another opponent for Luke.
This was obviously a fight bigger than any for me and I trained harder and smarter then ever but apparently GOD has other plans for me.
I am being told I'm going to need surgery. Either they take the disc out or they fuse it and I have to meet with surgeons today to figure
out what they will do. The good thing is it is c6-7 which is low in the neck, so I will have full range of motion either way and will be back better then ever. I'm told it's six-to-eight week recovery for
the disc coming out and twelve weeks for a fusion. Even though it's very hard for me to see a bright side right now, the one silver lining I'm focused on is the timetable would allow me to fight on that NY card in November.
I want to apologize to my family, friends, coaches,management, sponsors, fans, the UFC, and of course, Luke for letting you guys down. I promise I'll be back and I will get that belt back. I also want to publicly thank everyone close to me for their unconditional love and support, and especially thank my physical therapists and doctors for all of their great help.
Thanks for the support and love you all."

Apparently she turned it down because she wants to defend her belt @ 145 in Invicta.

Looks like Cyborg only wants a catchweight with Ronda or Tate

It's a weird position with her being a 145er

I don't really see the point of her being in the UFC if she can't make 135 and the UFC doesn't make a 145 division... I highly doubt any current 135ers would want to even move up to challenge her at 145 anyway. Sorta sucks but the only way she's going to get quality opponents is if the other women want to fight her in exhibitions at 140

Anyone in here train in any martial arts or MMA?

I've always been interested. Thinking of getting my cardio up a bit and then maybe trying something out.
