I wonder if the Alvarez deal had anything to do with it. We'll give you 1 LW who wants a million dollars in a division we can't support for 1 LHW that is more personable than all of our others put together (- Joey Beltran).

I am okay with Ben getting to 20-0 before being promoted the P4P fighter of UFC contendership but I would prefer if he were doing that to Rory MacDonald now instead of 2 years from now

Yuriy posted:i get the joke but other than jones, who else? Diego Brandao wanted to stab Poirier in the neck with the pen and has done other things like that I'm pretty sure, Overeem nuff said, Nate The Great Marquardt failed drug tests and also hosed up an event for UFC, Clay Guida isn't a bad guy in the real world but he commits crimes against enjoyment when he fights, probably others.

Dana White letting Bonnar go to Bellator now makes complete sense to me.

Part of me thinks it's because Viacom forced him to do it as part of the Rebney takeover, and another part of me thinks Coker is willing to try something new since his approach with Strikeforce didn't succeed. Or we can go with the Bonnar double agent, Coker double agent story line. I like that one.

speaking of fully mentally retarded... UFC vet Wanderlei Silva joins Bellator 131 pre-fight activities I guess if you're going to burn a bridge you might as well get every piece of it. Also Bellator owns & is extremely funny. I'm going to miss them a lot.

DO YALL WANT A BOXC posted:why can't sergei fight in the ufc Sergei is one of the few good B-league fighters and commands a bit more money than other heavyweights. Sergei had a special deal with Strikeforce when Zuffa purchased the company and they saw how much he made and didn't feel like matching & Sergei wanted to kickbox and wanted more money in general. Both parties would probably like to work with each other but they won't agree on the money until it's too late.

yeah. as a long time and lonely fitch fan: he's done. If he didn't have knee problems before he's certainly gonna have them now. Rousimar is a scary retarded tree stump but if he submits Jake Shields he should probably be signed back to UFC. Likewise if Shields beats him then he should be given another shot.

Cro Cop purposely spent 2 rounds looking bad against Gonzaga before he decided to look good in the 3rd, so the strategy checks out.

i like ben askren but he looked bad in that fight. if you want to find a positive out of that video you can assume askren is a clean fighter and that guy was not, in that case ben did well considering he was at a disadvantage.

Hey gang, haven't had enough of that Ken Shamrock photo yet? Then please listen to the end of the Bellator 138 conference call when Kimbo Slice is asked about that photo and PEDs in general and right as he's about to be honest the conference call conveniently ends. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNc9o87k960&t=2184s "No you can't loving do this kind of poo poo if you're on the average level.

Chris James 2 posted:Fedor's considering a comeback what I don't understand about this is Bellator/Viacom might be able to give him what he wants but I can't believe UFC wouldn't pony up more cash at this point. There's no reason not to have Fedor in UFC's heavyweight division at least once. Maybe not Brock vs Fedor at Dallas stadium anymore but Cain vs Fedor or a rematch between Werdum vs Fedor would certainly make everyone a shitload of money. Fedor's already lost and is old at this point so it wouldn't matter if he loses again, nobody would care that much. Why not? What the gently caress does Scott Coker have going for him? Is he just that much nicer than the Fertittas that he can sway stars like Carano and Fedor to fight for him over UFC?

Well thankfully they kept Jimmy Smith cause he's the best color guy in the business and if they lost him that would be the dumb move, but I'm not sure why they got rid of Wheelock. Unless it was Sean Wheelock who wanted out after being asked to work the upcoming King Mo vs Phil Davis fight, which I understand.

quote:“It’s extremely important for any athlete to do what you love, to work out on training sessions, to prove yourself on the competitions, representing your Motherland," - told Fedor in his statement to the Union MMA of Russia, - "For the time that I’ve been working for the Ministry of Sport I managed to give my contribution into development of martial arts, I cooperated with the sports federations, learnt the problems of our sport and tried to solve them as good as I could. Now I feel that it’s a high time to get back in action”. I still wanted to see him fight in UFC at least once but I'm guessing Fedor vs Kimbo is A Go.

Fedor/Couture might be good enough for PPV but even that fight I question how much it would make these days. Bellator will be able to offer Fedor more of what he wants but they are not going to get their money back on PPV or free TV. So that's the only reason why I think UFC might be able to snag him unless Lorenzo low balls him again. Bubba Smith fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Jul 15, 2015 |

fatherdog posted:Unless somebody higher up at Viacom steps in, Coker is going to shovel money at Fedor until he gets him, for the same reason he did the first time - Coker is a fanboy first, promoter second. Yeah. The only thing I thought of was UFC and Fedor almost had a deal worked out a few years ago, separate from the pre and post Strikeforce negotiations that were disastrous. So maybe relations are better between those two camps now, but like you said Coker will keep raising his offer until he gets him. And that is why Bellator is going to fail. UFC could get some utility out of Fedor even if they did overpay him by a bit. Bellator can't unless their gambit of "building big top cards" pays off. Which it won't. But maybe UFC will enjoy having Fedor become one of the top paid fighters again and that will get the FTC off their backs again, dunno.

not top 5 but I could see top 10 and at worst top 15, which is insane when you consider he hasn't fought for 3 years and was already on the decline. UFC doesn't need Fedor for matchmaking. They need him for expansion into Russia, a slight tick in PPV sales/live gate in the US, and even dumb stuff later on like being able to use all of his Pride + Strikeforce catalog. Bellator and WSOF and such are far behind UFC in all of those areas. That's why even if UFC throws too much money at Fedor they'll get some return on the investment pretty much no matter what. Bellator is going to be gambling more and WSOF even more than that.

Palhares could end up stalling with Maia in an MMA fight and that wouldn't go anywhere good. And in general Maia isn't a hostile dude at all. If you want to punish Palhares you have him fight Lombard over and over again until he decides to retire from all the KOs. As much as Lombard sucks he's always gonna be the worst matchup for Palhares and he's just as much of an angry retarded shithead.
