That explains plan B.... His interest in WMMA

So Dana's like we need the greatest heavyweights ever to fight in the UFC and if that doesn't work, we need bytches...

I used to watch Gina Carano fight only for the off-chance that her titty might pop out.

Gray Maynard out against Joe Lauzon at 155

Jim Miller stepping in

These cats always get injured in multiples damn.

Maynard made me a fan in the last two Edgar fights, even in defeat he came to fight not wrestle, that and him spazzing on Guida


Miller vs Lauzon should be a fun scrap tho.




-P-

 

[FaTaL]

How is he "posturing" when the only one that "really" wants this fight is anderson/his manager By saying he doesnt want the fight & that hes done until late 2013 that is music to gsp and dana's ears.U honestly think zuffa arent holding out hope for diaz/gsp

u really think hes not going to fight until late 2013, a guy his age cant have a layoff that long. his time is limited and theres no pension in mma. hes going to make the most money off his next 2 fights against gsp and jones

hes just fuking around like he always does

Jim Miller stepping in

I didn't want Lauzon to get destroyed Miller is a more manageable matchup.

I was hoping to see Roy pull out a win against Carwin I don't know if he would have but I wanted to see him do it.

Man, I was looking forward to both those fights. Carwin's turning 38 in January - he should just retire. He's getting too old and too injury prone.

Kongo is the only person available who can step in vs. Roy.

True, but goddamn I can't get over how different the two of them are as athletes. I'd watch out for that submission game from the fat man and keep my distance if I were Kongo, but that's just obvious.

UFC 156 is stacked as fukk:

Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar
Alistair Overeem vs. Antonio Silva
Dan Henderson vs. Lyoto Machida
Rashad Evans vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
Erick Silva vs. TBA



No injuries please

Looks like Machida/Hendo could be moved off this card

Henderson has returned to training, but has been taking things slow, making sure that he allows his knee to fully heal, so as not to set him back any further.

UFC officials, according to a report on Tuesday night’s UFC Tonight on Fuel TV, aren’t quite comfortable pulling the trigger and setting a Henderson vs. Machida bout for UFC 156 just yet.

I'm thinking it gets moved to and headlines UFC 157 which is 3 weeks later, can't think of any other main event caliber fights for that date

I know Minotauro just fought but he didn't take much damage. Also, Frank Mir. Cormier?

Minotauro is coaching Ultimate Fighter Brazil opposite Werdum, not sure of Mir's status since his injury.

There's a rumor of Mike Kyle stepping in against Roy

 

[Change]

I bet it ends up being Matt Mitrione.

I bet it ends up being Matt Mitrione.

I agree

 

[PHamm]
