GSP announces he's taking an indefinite break from fighting.

Is vacating his title.

Johnny Hendricks VS Robbie Lawler will square off for the vacant UFC Welterweight Title on the Dallas show in March.

Good to see GSP get the break he's wanting. Reckon hell be back within the year though

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Great KO by Mighty Mouse, also loved his corner man telling him to settle down with his celebrations to show respect to his KO'd opponent. All class IMO.

Silva failed his ElephantJuice test after his fight with Hunt.

Cheat!!

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Very disappointing ^^

 

[Pugzley]

That's twice now. Ban him for life!!

 

[Fufu Andronez]

George Sotiropolous looks like he's been released by the ufc, might be too late for him earn his way back, should rip up bellator or WSOF though

 

[MrAnonymous]

I thought he got cut months ago, He hasn't been the same since Dos Anjos koed him.

He should just hang the gloves up, don't even think he would be successful at Wsof or Bellator imo.

I thought with his skill level he would make a great coach....

But after watching him on TUF... He was such a douche bag...

I lost a lot of respect for him over that... And with the stories since.... I think it says it all that nearly to a man... All the Australian UFC fighters are on very good terms with Ross Pearson and none of them have anything to do with George...

I'd love to see him get in to victorian federal politics... Get that stupid ban on the cage removed.

What I would REALLY like to see would be an australasian combat sports commission... That overseas boxing and MMA in both countries and all states.

That's something that would have to happen with both Govts though...

 

[Fufu Andronez]

I'm getting in early..

Silva to avenge his loss

What a great way to end the year

 

[MrAnonymous]

Pumped for tommorows fights.

Predicting an early Anderson KO or an Weidman decsion, Cant see Weidman knocking out Silva again.

Don't think Anderson will carry on like he did in the first one, but you never know with that merkin haha.

 

[Jack_Napier]

A determined and hungry silva should do it via KO early for me. He cuts the shit out and keeps it standing then he'll wreck weidman. I think he'll smash the legs. Few of the leg kicks he threw in the first one while clowning looked awesome.

Would love to see meisha knock rousey's head off or rip her arm off via Armbar but Rhonda will no doubt smash her. Also crazy to see Diego Brandao weigh in 8 pounds over. Fighting at catch weight of 151.5lbs now against poirier. Massively over weight.

 

[Tone83]

Hope silva can KO him. I don't mind weidman but I like the idea of Silva being a flawless super hero with a perfect legacy. He can lose, but he needs to avenge it to maintain his mystique and legendary status. MMA just isn't MMA if the spider is worse than someone.

Mind you, if he went to 205 and lost to JBJ I'd be ok with it because they're both legends.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Haha Brandao wtf!?

Weidman looked so awkward at the stare down with the hand shakes.

 

[Pugzley]

Weidman to retain via submission this time 'round while Tate to break Tate's arm again.

Are you a Silva nuthugger :sarcasm:

 

[Tone83]

Not really. He's not my favourite, I just feel like silva has had such a sick legacy so far that it would be a shame for it to wither away losing to people like weidman. Some people get tall poppy syndrome and want to see the mighty fall, I'm the other way where I want the tall poppies to stand tall and be outstanding, makes the sport more interesting if it has larger than life icons. Was a shame to see fedor's invincible mystique crushed, I'd like to see some be maintained. A silva win in this rematch is much more epic than a weidman win, it would hold more dramatic significance, I don't get how anyone couldn't see that.

 

[MrAnonymous]

He's not a fan of the White athletes.

 

[shiznit]

Some CRAZY rumours going around right now..,

The word is... Brock vs Fedor is about to be announced...

Will be interesting to see how this plays out...
