So apparently on UFC Tonight: Woodley vs MacDonald, Feijao vs Bader at UFC 174 in Vancouver. Also, Cormier vs Hendo at 175 will be for a title shot.

Jones vs Hendo two years in the making

Gus vs Hendo :getin:

Those are all loving amazing. Who was Cormier retardedly setup to fight a week or two ago?

Feijao, which I thought was ok. A squash match for Cormier, but realistically so is Hendo, and at least the Feijao fight wouldn't have made a cool old guy look like a really old guy :(

Yeah, I just watched a TJ interview after the Barao fight was announced and he spent a good chunk of it talking about how awesome Bang was and how this will be the last TAM fight that he's head coaching and it'll be good to see him end his time there with a belt (lol). Pretty sure those dudes loved Bang as their coach.

Does TJ have any good victories or is 135 that hosed up right now? Easton, Viana, Vaughan Lee?

Barao killed everyone and Assuncao didn't have enough time to take the fight on short nice. Only one else would be Mizugaki, who TJ was originally fighting.

Good move. Barao/TJ and JDS/Stipe would have died on PPV, and JDS is enough to headline a Brazil card.

Barao/TJ without JDS/Stipe is gonna die even harder unless they can come up with a really good replacement.

Cool fight. Will be interesting to see if all the Fox fights made Mighty Mouse into a big enough name to do a decent number on PPV.

Also hope this means Aldo-Mendes 2 headlines the San Jose card.

I hope that when Condit gets back, assuming Woodley isn't the champ and has lost to either Rory or Hendricks by then, they give him a rematch headlining a FS1 card.

Jose Aldo kinda fits the description except he rarely has to use his jj and he knows how to defend a take him down. His WEC fights are all good.

That fight was hilarious because it becomes really clear how stupid Browne's Spazz Nodes are against someone who moves as slow as Bigfoot. Someone with athletic ability like Barnett or Overeem might accidentally step into his wildly flailing limbs, but Bigfoot's lumbering was never even disturbed.

i like that for the upcoming bad fight night, there are seven ranked fighters. between 13 fights. three of them are in the top ten, the highest ranked fighter will be opening the televised prelims, one top ten guy will be headling and the other top ten guy will be on the untelevised prelims. there are no interesting prospects except smolka and maybe erik silva if you are being generous. good stuff.

I....I don't know. I don't want to see Hendo get squashed but if he somehow pulled it off it'd mean he'd get a title shot which would be The Raddest Thing.

I don't think DC will squash Hendo. Hendo did get crushed by Vitor but just before that he had back-to-back close rear end decisions against Rashad and Machida. I see it playing out like those fights or perhaps more lopsided like DC/Roy. And we have yet to see anyone land a big shot on DC, and well, AKA did ruin Gray's chin so maybe...

DC does hit hard, but to say he clearly hits much harder than Shogun is a little silly, seeing as how we've seen Shogun hit a lot of people really hard for a long time. Whereas DC has only really hit a barista and the biggest chin in sports really hard.
