Christophe Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Apparently Sonnen offered to step in for Mitrione at a few hours notice. Bellator were interested but couldn't push it through! Fedor kiboshed that probably. Edited February 18, 2017 by Christophe -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Kelevra Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Fucking Joke with Fedor, rumour is kidney stones for Mitrione 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 There's not been a heavyweight title fight in 3 years. Give Kongo the fucking title please. He deserves it and this division is so pointless without anything to fight for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradHorse Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Seems a bit of a dick but I like the look of this Gavin Tucker guy. Really dynamic fighting style (on the feet at least). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Aye Tucker looked very decent. I've just watched it all, not been on twitter etc yet but guessing there's going to be a lot of moaning about the judges again. Hendricks and Theodouro with 30-27s were pretty bad, that Zahabi got one aswell when I thought he probably should've got beat 29-28. Probably some others I'm forgetting. Highlights for me were Markos beating Esparza and Lewis's post fight chat, he had Stann cringing calling out Browne for being a wife beater, then some random comment about having too much sex.Also thought the Jack Marshman stoppage was too quick, looked to be trying to fight back but the ref had jumped in. Shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlight for me was Browne taking those extra few punches. Remember seeing photos of his ex's face after he (clearly did) beat the shit out of her. f**k that guy. I mostly agree about Marshman. It wasn't the worst ever but for better or worse (obvious Browne-esque stoppages aside) it seems like stoppages are getting a bit quicker these days. I watched the documentary The Smashing Machine (it's on YouTube, must watch for any MMA fan) again the other night and it really made it obvious how much quicker they stop the fight these days. Obviously it's the right call, but the JUST BLEED guy inside of me kinda misses when it was just bawz oot mental fighting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Looking forward to this weekend, some cracking fights there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 It's all about Khabib Ferguson. The main event is a cracker no doubt, but that co main is just a great match up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 UFC still trying to break into the Russian market so they are probably relying on a Khabib win. I'm very excited for main & co-main but lowering my expectations for the rest of the card as not really fussed for it. I'll be rooting for Paul Craig & Groovy Lando though. UFC 211 is already shaping up to be brilliant. Miocic vs Dos Santos 2. Joanna vs Andrade & now Maia vs Masvidal. Not sure if confirmed yet but Werdum vs Rothwell rumoured to be that night too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Bisping v GSP for the title, no date yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Must be the big July weekend. UFC 213 should be. Romero & Jacare will rightly be raging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Makes no sense at all. GSP wouldn't step up to MW in his prime but wants to come back and fight for the belt now. Absolute shite. Wtf is Romero meant to do? Just wait?! That's Maia, Romero and even Jacare fucked over in the space of 2 days. I hope Bisping beats him but f**k knows, GSP will likely be able to keep getting takedowns on him. It should have all went down like this-Woodley Wonderboy winner vs Maia, then GSP( could even have given him a warmup fight with Lawler or Masvidal )Bisping vs Romero, winner faces Jacare. And as much as Khabib Ferguson is an amazing fight, should really have been Conor vs Khabib this weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Romero actually won a shot, so he'll obviously be raging having also beaten Jacare in his previous fight, albeit by split decision. GSP was always making the jump to 185 when he came back, was he not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Bisping has always been the fight he wanted. They'll be desperate to have GSP face Anderson Silva soon too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gy diamond Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Should of had GSP vs Silva and let Romeo get his title shot against Bisping with Jacare getting the winner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Got the feeling that the only way Jacare will get a title shot is if everyone else in the division dies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 It's nice to see Bisping get a big payday, but f**k off. Even from a ppv sense a four years too late Silva v GSP fight would've been grand. Divisions and rankings under new owners mean absolute shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Bet Khabib will have to pull out of this fight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
