Larry Merchant said this on air during the Mosley fight:
"Oscar De La Hoya … is in nearby Anaheim where his company got a five-million dollar fee from a T-shirt maker so that he can be personally involved in thepromotion of a mixed martial art show," said Merchant during the HBO telecast. "It would take that much to get me to go to one of thosethings."
Can't we all just get along. Hahaha.

GSP
lets go montreal boy!
funny to see karo and gsp in the same main card considering karo was his stepping stone into the ufc at 46 (if memory serves right).
i too get worried about GSP's chin but then again that one serra fight alone shouldn't be this big a worry. GSP is ******edly strong for his size, dudeis in top notch condition and if it goes the length i see his endurance and conditioning benefitting him more than BJ. hes gonna be stronger and more energeticin imposing his will in the final couple rounds. BJ's natural flexibility and ground game should keep GSP from giving him good positioning on the ground.the way that dude uses his legs to manipulate a submission is nasty.
gsp got this!

Condit to the UFC.
Kampmann is no joke though.

Another divisional shake up appears to be on the horizon for Zuffa owned World Extreme Cagefighting. Several sources have indicated that the promotion willsoon disband its 170-pound weight class. The first indication of the latest restructuring is a title fight between WEC champion Carlos Condit and challengerBrock Larson being scrapped from the upcoming WEC 39 event on March 1 in Texas.
FiveOuncesOfPain.com first reported the news on Tuesday, with several sources close to the situation confirming the news to MMAWeekly.com as well.
According to sources speaking anonymously with MMAWeekly.com, the fight between Condit and Larson was cancelled in large part due to a desire to move thecurrent WEC champion over to the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
There has been no official confirmation as to who Condit could fight in his first UFC match-up, but there has been speculation that new welterweight MartinKampmann could be the fighter called upon to face the Arizona Combat Sports standout.
Larson is also expected to make the move to the UFC. Despite reports that the Minnesota fighter was injured, causing the fight cancellation, MMAWeekly.comlearned that the fight was simply cancelled and neither fighter had any kind of injury to force the situation.
Several managers were contacted about the possible dissolution of the WEC's welterweight division, but there had been no official word from the promotionat the time of publication about the move. It is still unclear if the entire division will be dissolved, but moving the promotion's champion over to theUFC would seem to be a strong indicator of such.
There are still two welterweight bouts scheduled for WEC 39 - Johny Hendricks vs. Alex Serdyukov and Justin Haskins vs. Douglas Lima - but that wouldn't beout of character for the WEC. The promotion still held a couple of middleweight and light heavyweight bouts, including a light heavyweight title fight, afterthe dissolution of those two divisions was announced late last year.
MMAWeekly.com sources close to the WEC in early January revealed that the promotion is adding a 125-pound flyweight division soon. There had been speculationthat WEC 39 could host the emergence of the flyweight division, but that now seems more like a possibility for WEC 40 in Chicago.
If the WEC welterweight division does meet its demise, that would leave only the 155-pound lightweight class as the only crossover category between the WEC andthe UFC.

They're scoopin up talents right now...they shoppin' like its Black Friday.
I know that's just a speculation. I think Dana would've hinted in his blog if they'll get him (like Alistair). It's a high possibility though.
I'm just hoping they get fighters who AREN'T on the decline yet. No point of signing fighters on the decline, it'll be a big waste of time andmoney (well maybe for the short term it's good).
He's an old-school guy and been in the boxing biz for 100 years now. I wouldn't expect anything less from him.
Fact remains not everyone is open to the fact MMAs makin' it big and is a big threat to other mainstream combat/physical sports.
I do get Larry's point but when he tried to explain himself he just FAILED. No way you can cover that up. If I were him I should've just stood my ground.

im not sure what the count is in this thread but im pretty sure roughly i saw way more people picking penn over gsp which is surprising cause i thought itd beabout 50/50
a couple months ago i was leaning towards penn even though im a big gsp fan, but primetime has pretty much changed my mind, the intensity that gsp brings inhis training shows u that on the 31st hes gonna be ready, u know hes gonna be ready to go 5 rounds at full speed, guy's just a flat out beast
