if i were the UFC, i would put brown if he wins in an eliminator with diaz. it's probably the easiest/least wrestly fight at the top of the division. put it on fox and that's like instant hype for the ppv

i dont like how guys who grind at the top of the division, put on the best fights, and are the best fighters get overlooked in the short term for fighters who have slightly prettier records because they haven't been grinding for years like right now woodley and lombard are considered title contenders over rick story, pierce, ellenberger, brown, etc Id like to see them beat alves, kampmann, or paulo thiago even

They're not even more fun to watch fight than literally any of those welterweights. Don't believe the hype. Because it doesn't exist. It isn't real

Matt Brown has fought a ton of unranked dudes but with Johny out, it's really coming down to one badass performance mattering more than where you happen to stand in the rankings. -Atom- fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Apr 6, 2014 |

Brown vs Diaz for a shot at the belt (for Brown) would own. gently caress Diaz.

It's not like Woodley has beaten nobodies either with his win over Koscheck and Condit and Lombard has dominated two opponents at WW and both of those guys were former contenders and or champs in other organisations. I'm a big fan of Pierce, Ellenberger and Story but you can't really make the case that those three deserves shots over Lombard and Woodley.

ChampRamp posted:Jake Shields was released They're now cutting people in the top 5, this is getting a little silly. Doesn't matter if you like his style, he's beaten a good percentage of the top 10, so deserves to be in there. I guess we now know who Askren is going to fight later in the year though.

He could have asked to be released too. I saw Capt America over the weekend. Afraid there is not much to Batroc although they def portray him pretty sympathetically and I could see him joining the international super hero team thing that captain america puts together when he's not avenging. I can confirm George is movie star handsome and fits right in visually. My only disappointment with their fight was that it ends with GSP getting double legged, I kind of wished they'd given a nod to who he is in reality and have him do the Hendo vs Bisping effortless sprawl followed by some other way for the good guy to win. Also Captain America does the Bj Penn RNC arm trap later in the movie, which fits really well thematically given the guy that he is choking and I wonder if GSP mentioned it at some point or the writers just knew whats up. Capt also hits a quick suplex during a fight scene and Black Widow is all over the loving place with that sorta Funk Wrestle extreme guard pull/triangle stuff she does.

Hector Lombard is basically going to be in the same position in a few fights, if he ever goes 1-2 he's getting cut or taking a huge paycut.

Also couldn't they just resign Shields at a lower contract if they wanted to? In Shields' case I think he initially signed a 7 fight deal. And yeah he could take a pay cut and stay in the UFC, but he's a guy nearing the end of his career and can probably make more money elsewhere.

Kinda funny that Shields was cut and Maia is still hanging around after his two fight skid, one of which is a loss to Jake Shields. I guess we can chalk up "being Brazilian" as another way to keep your job.

That's an interesting decision. He's not worth 75/75, but having a fighter like him on the roster is enough to make or break upcoming stars and his like are better off on the roster than not. Even when they're sorta boring. All in all, R.I.P Yushin Okami (and Yushin Okami related stories). Also, Erik Perez is fighting Bryan Caraway on June 7. I don't remember who Perez is, but I firmly hope he will win in devastating fashion. Unless he's a wifebeater or something. e: division and decision are not the same word.
