I didn't see anything real damning in there. I think people just made a bigger deal out of Duane being there than it was, both sides have already mentioned how there wasn't really a contract signed or an real agreement made. They knew ahead of time that he at least MIGHT not be a permanent fixture.

The thing I wonder about is if Faber or anyone else had hurt feelings from the whole "Ludwig joined = everyone started winning" thing from last year.

I wonder if there was some kind of drama, but it seems odd to me that Faber would downplay his involvement when everyone in that camp was singing his praises on top of every media outlet.



But what's the alternative? Telling the media they're losing the key piece of last years success over what sounds like pretty benign circumstances and they're all super worried about it?

To me it just sounds like they couldn't finalize a deal that would make Duane move all his poo poo to Sacramento and they amicably said aggh dangit and are trying to move on.

So team alpha males fans are rationalizing this as well

I'm actually a really really big fan of their no title streak and in particular Fabers' loss to Mike Brown that started it all. I just figure if there really was bad blood someone would've bitched about it in public by now. Guess I'm jumping the gun calling it an amicable split, it just doesn't sound like anything really bad.

In reality I'm trying to gun for a herb defender style AV replacement with Danny Castillo.

Try to get tickets off the floor, approx 10-20 rows up (assuming you have stadium seating). You'll end up with a view above the cage and it's pretty much the best you're going to get besides right up beside the fights. Good luck!

On the flipside (and full disclosure, this was a concert and not the octagon) I've been to shows in seats that were technically "obstructed view" but were right under the jumbotron instead of behind it, so I actually had near-floor seats right behind the performer for way cheaper than what it should have been.
So there's ways it can work out but I wouldn't bank on it.

One time I worked security for a Pearl Jam benefit concert at Key Arena in Seattle. I'm a 125 lb weakling so my job was to make sure no one sat in one of these sections. Pretty much got paid to watch a Pearl Jam concert with the only caveat being I had to stand the whole time. Then I got home and my girlfriend at the time surprised me with tickets to the 2nd night of these shows. I don't even like Pearl Jam that much.

I was under the impression that story was confirmed, but I guess it got as far as Helwani asking her about it and her saying she didn't hear about that and wouldn't talk about why. MY BAD. Please refer to the bevy of other reasons Tate and Caraway are loving awful.

Barnett is nowhere near stupid enough to get hit by the B(fat)RH. I don't think big Nog is really that stupid either but he's in the ballpark so when he got battered a few times he did end up stupid enough. You could probably put Barnett through a threshing machine and the gross bits that pop out the other end would still know how to beat Roy.

Even when he takes people down he still manages to get caught in submissions a lot.

And when was the last time Wand submitted someone? And Chael hasn't been caught in a sub since his first Silva fight, almost 4 years ago. Not saying you're wrong, he's got avenues to win, I just wouldn't expect it to go down like that.

So I'm interested in following UFC although I admittedly know very little, other than what little I've gleamed from watching the odd PRIDE fight back in the 2000s and a handful of UFC fights here and there, plus by playing around with the 2009 UFC video game. I like BJJ since it seems to be more about skill and technique than about sheer strength (correct me if I'm wrong), so Demian Mata and BJ Penn have been some of my favorite guys. I know Mata is ranked #8 in the welterweight division right now and I'm curious as to if he's passed his prime or not. I'd also like to know more about the current crop of guys who I might not be as familiar with. Even the guys I do know I know very little about their personalities and antics; I only knew that Wanderlei Silva used to destroy people, not that he's also an idiot until I saw some of this thread. Kinda curious as to what people think of Anderson Silva since I know there was a time he was completely dominant and everyone loved him but I picked up that he recently got KO'd while showboating or something to that effect.

edit: Also curious if there is a good MMA podcast people recommend, most of those that I've tried are fairly Opie & Anthony-style, and I'd like one that was just news and analysis without a lot of macho sideshow (I suspect that may be a bit much)

Hello sir!

The old pride fights are a good knowledge base to have. Demian Maia was recently looking hella resurgent since dropping down to middleweight but the he ran into a skid, losing to Jake Shields in a tough grappling heavy match and Rory Macdonald in a bad kickboxing heavy match. I would say he's still worthy of your love and still has a chance at relevance.

BJ Penn is actually returning very soon as a coach on The Ultimate Fighter show opposite of Frankie Edgar, the guy who took his belt. They're both down at 145, a weight we haven't seen BJ at in the UFC so that's exciting.

Anderson Silva is still a cool guy, but there's a lot of Weidman fans here too.

What other guys do you want to know about?

Okami occasionally smiles whereas Maia is second only to Paulo Thiago for most constant mean mug. Maia always looks like someone just told him something disturbing and confusing.
