Anyone here get into MMA?

[Fufu Andronez]

Wonder where Barnett fits in to the picture. All this hype around him and the massive chase by Dana, just hope he doesn't do a Lombard.

Im gunna throw out Barnett V Mir as the first fight.

 

[BDR]

Cormier is hovering around the picture too I'd assume. He crushed Barnett in strikeforce

 

[Collateral]

Cant see Corimer fighting Mir or Barnett since he has already beaten them both.

Also, apparently Corimer is determined to go down to 205.

On a side note...Saw Danny Green in Te Huna's corner & thought Angelo Hyder was in his corner too. From there I knew Te Huna was no chance lol

I respect Green & Hyder in boxing circles...MMA is a different animal & it showed that Te Huna just thought he was going to go in there and box.
Seems like somebody forgot to tell him Texiera is a black belt in BJJ.

 

[BDR]

I didn't say he should fight Mir or Barnett... apparently he will fight the winner of Nog/Werdum

A lot of the stuff about 205 comes from him wanting to fight Jones. I think he'd be great at 205 but depends on whether he can comfortably down there. I'd suggest he can but only he knows for sure.

 

[Collateral]

I think he is underestimating Jones to be honest.

He needs to work on his hands a lot too if he wants to be a genuine force. Mir is the perfect fighter to work your standup against and instead he took the safe path.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

It all depends on how long Barnett plans to wait until his next fight. Giving it some thought I reckon he could fight someone like Travis Browne/Mir/Struve.

Overeem to fight Travis Browne on Fox Sports 1.1 August 17th

 

[Collateral]

Barnett V Mir confirmed.

 

[jc155776]

Chael steps in to save UFC 161 once again!

Go Chael!

 

[BDR]

Is that official? I heard they scuppered those plans.

Not really interested in Rua-Sonnen anyway, there are better opponents for Shogun and Sonnen needs to go back to MW

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Apparently visa issues have stopped Sonnen and Rua is now off the card altogether.

Besides the hendo-Rashad fight its a pretty bad card in terms of big names. Wonder how many pay-per-views it will cost the ufc.

 

[BDR]

Rua-Sonnen going down on UFC on Fox Sports 1.

That's a sick card now, also has Reem vs Browne, Faber vs Alcantara, Lauzon vs Johnson. Damn there are some fun fights on that card.

Urijah Hall gets a second chance to show what he can do against a tough opponent in Nick Ring, wicked card!

 

[BDR]

Rob Whittaker is going to take on Court McGee on the August 29th card.

Another chance to beat down a shit house TUF winner

Good fight.


I actually rate McGee, this will be more of a test for Whittaker than smith was that's for sure.

 

[aqua_duck]

So who next for Werdum?

 

[jc155776]

That Brazil card was sick

 

[aqua_duck]

Yep, I've said this many times before, doesn't matter who's on the card even if you've never heard of them but any time you have a shit load of Brazilians fighting its going to be a good card, every bloke that comes out of Brazil is a finisher, lay n pray doesn't fly on the streets of Brazil
