dude will be coming off an extended hiatus with a limited skillset, nothing is a sure bet

Where else would you want him to fight? King Mo will be fine bellator aint exactly a murderers row especially at 205.

And i dont care if BJ is motivated to the roof he gonna get stopped by rory. GSP will give him the perfect plan to destroy bj :to:

idk man it's going to be a rough night for Penn, I do not want to see him get finished up

Every-time I see Rory fight, I think "double murder suicide" and "check his dogs"

He was the guy Machida flew into Brazil to train for Jones....he was rolling with Cormier and Velasquez b/f the Dos Santos fight and he was getting takedowns on Cain. Dude is arguably the best wrestler in MMA...add that with his good chin, improving striking(other than Feijao, he's gotten the better of the striking in his short career, Mousasi's striking wasn't effective until he was on his back) and good sub defense and I think he's fairly skilled. Dude's only had like a dozen fights and he's already this good. Everybody's getting bulldozed @ 205 in Bellator once Lawal comes to town. The TNA bullshyt is what may be his undoing. You know those hillbillies might try to take liberties w/ him in the ring.

And Brian Stann is out of the "main event" against Lombard(or so they say on Sherdog)....who do you think fills in for him? Maybe Palhares, if he's healthy enough. Maybe even Belcher.

Bisping is the only name that makes sense to main event the fox card

Any wrestler can ben askren his way to a title if surrounded with the right mismatches.What i'm saying if he decides to actually be a mmatist and KB he'll get got..

Thats a big opportunity missed to try and sucker in a whole new demo using jingoism.This fox deal was a poison chalice I guess the money was too good to turn down but UFC was at its best when it stayed in its lane.This world takeover rah rah has just made them look like fools. Sooner or later more and more shows are going to be placed on fuel cuz its not doin fx or fox any spike in ratings

I ran into one of the fighters of team alpha males who also trains at AKA. we chopped it up and he told me

-Faber didnt even want to fight at 148 after Cruz tore his ACL

-Dana wants cromier to drop to 205 but he cant due to him having a kidney problem

- Cain might drop to 205 if JDS knocks him out again

he was a nice guy, but i wanted to laugh cause dude straight up looked like stone cold with tatts

They pulled Lombard out of the main event too

New UFC on Fox main event is Shogun vs. Vera :heh:

Shogun by murder
