The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- Cannonier, Imavov, Reyes, Rosas on NOW

Bas Rutten was saying he thought Fedor could give Bones a run.

If that fight ever happens and he's right, I will actually purchase the Body Action System just because.
 
TJ vs Frankie would be a fun fight to watch . Kind of sucks that Raphael is getting dubbed for a title shot but it's all about dollars now. My guess is the UFC would have TJ fight Frankie sometime in fall since Cruz is out till Jan.
 
I thought Assuncao is still healing up from an injury. When he's ready they'll market him as the guy who beat the champ before.
 
They are going to put the Dublin card on fight pass again. In my opinion that is a mistake, if they aired this card on fox I guarantee they would gain more new fans as any other fox card

The energy that I felt from the first Dublin card was unreal. Of course Conor was on that card but I'm sure it will be nuts this time around as well

Can't wait to see Poirier and Duffy go at it. Hell of a fight, I see Duffy taking it by sub

So apparently Fedor said he want to face Werdum?
It would be funny seeing Fedor v Werdum in UFC. I just remembered how Dana ripped Fedor after his loss to Werdum saying that he lost to a guy (Werdum) that they cut because he couldn't make it in UFC.
 
Its years too late but I still wanna see Fedor vs Couture.
Where the hell has handy been? Last time I saw him was in an expendables movie and I think he was on that bellator reality show last year.
Randy has been working for/with Bellator. He's been doing a lot of appearances for them. So I assume he's a "promotional ambassador" for them like Royce Gracie.
 
Watching countdown. honda must have bad sparring partners if 9 out of 10 are getting dropped.
 
Thiago Alves is moving down to 155 lbs. This guy had trouble making 170 lbs. Welcome to the Drug Policy/IV ban Era.
 
He's going to look so bad making weight and with no IV he will look awful on fight day ,man it's a terrible idea.

Wait, how would the IV ban help him make 155. He should move up if anything

AA v Mir looks like will be made 
 
Got it.. yeah will be interesting to monitor 

I feel like more folks are going the Benson route, fighting closer to their natural weight classes
 
Just saw this on Sherdog:

Bigfoot vs Palelei (UFC 190)

Struve vs Nog (UFC 190)
Arlovski vs Mir (UFC 191) 
Barnett vs Nelson (Fight Night)
JDS vs Reem (Upcoming)
Browne vs Rothwell (Rumour)
 

Leaves Stipe, Cain, Werdum without partners...

Kept seeing rumors on Twitter saying JDS was probably gonna get Werdum. Unless Fedor signs with UFC and fights Werdum, I think Werdum gets JDS. JDS is more marketable than Stipe, and UFC could try to build hype talking about JDS beating Werdum before.

Isn't Cain trying to get on the Gus/DC card?
 
Yeah Reem is the one saying he's sitting out and waiting to fight JDS. I don't think UFC has guaranteed him a shot at JDS. He's just campaigning/wishing for the fight. 

JDS put stuff online saying that he wants the Werdum rematch and Werdum said he'd like to avenge his loss to JDS. Reed could end up waiting for JDS, not getting the fight, and then miss out on other opportunities.

Smart match making by UFC in Mir vs aa

Whoever wins gets the "he's officially back" storyline and can run that angle to death for the next match. AA Midas well get a title shot with a win. Mir could be there too depending on how jds/cain/rothwell shake out

Stipe was right there as well before losing to jds
