Anyone here get into MMA?

[pennywisealfie]

Probably Phil Davis and Shogun.

 

[aqua_duck]

Phil Davis hasn't done anything to be ahead of Lyoto. If Phil Davis didn't look like Jon Jones no one would rate him do highly

 

[pennywisealfie]

LOL theres more to Davis than that. I am of the belief that Machida is higher than davis, but im not sure if Zuffa sees things the same way.

 

[aqua_duck]

Davis hasn't beaten anyone, he was terrible against little Nog, and honestly if he was a pudgy white guy he wouldn't even be in contention yet

 

[Frailty]

Phil Davis is no where near contention - He is only just above Matt Hamil in my opinion.

Anyways, Strikeforce yesterday! Fedor drops to his 3rd straight loss... Looks like his legacy is up the shit.

 

[shiznit]

Machida is still a fair bit away from a title shot.

Id say as far as contenders go....

Rampage is obviously first up & Evans will be next after he beats Tito... which he should do.

id say from there it will be the winner of Shogun vs Griffin II at UFC RIO.

from there its anyones guess... Machida is one option, but Dana hates him... the same goes with Tito if he can somehow beat Evans.

Phil Davis is somewhere in the mix if he can look impressive in his next fight... which will probably be against a top contender.

Chael Sonnen also wants to fight Machida... so that could happen.

not to mention Strikeforce LHW champ Hendo is off contract with strikeforce... if the UFC were to pick him up... i reckon he would be an option...

oh for sure, imagine danas erection being able to market a guy that beat fedor, who he seemingly despises (if only because he can't sign him).

To be fair to Dana White, it hasn't been because he 'can't sign him'. Fedor has gone on record as saying the UFC don't treat fighters like people, etc. which is completely out of line. Strikeforce even struggled to get him on those events - which you will see M-1 always co-hosts.

Dana White was always more interested in Alistair Overeem, which seems extremely unlikely considering the Zuffa owned Strikeforce have now released him from his contract.

incorrect... Zuffa pulled him out of the Heavyweight Grand Prix due to injury.

but he's till under contract to Strikeforce.... which means he's still under contract to Zuffa.

i was following on from what Dana White had mentioned in the UFC 135 Press Conference:

“He hurt his toe, pulled out of the fight,” he said. “He’s still under contract. The date that was set in September was set by Showtime, and it is what it is. We’ve got to get an alternate in there, but he’s still under contract.

“If you say you’re hurt, you’re hurt,” he continued. “What are you gonna do? There’s been a lot of that lately. If I got mad at guys who got hurt, I’d be really pissed off right now. It is what it is.”

Those "shorts".

Discuss.

 

[Special K]

Terrible!

This still makes me laugh though...

Ebersole got a fight bonus according to Dana because he got such a hideous sight off the TV screens in under a round.
As disturbing as it was... we were all laughing pretty hard watching it.

 

[dogslife]

Rashad's knee looked brutal

 

[Stonecutter]

Terrible!

This still makes me laugh though...

hahahahhahahahahh

Anyone catch UFC Live today, it was free on One. Lytle vs Hardy was a great stand-up fight, and Miller vs Henderson was unlucky not to get fight of the night imo

hardy vs lytle was the right choice for fight of the night imo

henderson vs miller was too one sided, henderson just dominated miller, i was very impressed with his performance

 

[pennywisealfie]

Noke got choked.

 

[MattJ]

How good is Ben Henderson? I'd like to see him matched up with Guillard for a contendors shot.
