CyGOAT

In an interview Fiona said when she fought Marloes she wasn't prepared and that is why she lost, this time, she had a full training camp and even though she had to change it up the last two weeks she was prepared for CyGOAT

Didn't that happen already?

His striking is good, I can see him possibly standing and banging with Bisping- he needs to fight someone who can take him down and neutralize him on the ground.

Yeah and I think the outcome will be the same. I doubt weidman can beat silva, so if weidman stays as a MW gatekeeper him and hall may bump heads again. It all depends on how far hall can go up the MW ladder. If he wins this saturday I'm interested to see how soon and who he will fight. If that fruit mike ricci can get on the main card a few months after losing the TUF finale, I don't see why hall can't get a fight by the end of the summer. Especially if he wins impressively this saturday, cause he already has the hype behind him.

Don't forget Thor was on the last UFC card and the current season wasn't even finished

I can see Dana now...Hall vs Bones UFC 171

I wonder why Bones didn't choose Hall to be on his team...makes you wonder

But anyway, if Hall gets choked out, he may as well say goodbye because all that dikk riding Dana was doing will be over

I think Hall was the first pick by chael, jones couldnt have taken him.....

IIRC, Bones won the coin toss but he picked the fight instead of first fighter...Breh's aware me if I am wrong

Dana's response to Mitrione's interview

Matt Mitrione's vitriolic verbal attack on transgender fighter Fallon Fox and the UFC's swift suspension of the fighter dominated the news headlines on Monday.

Tuesday, it was UFC president Dana White's turn to weigh in on the controversy. White was asked for a comment during a media teleconference promoting UFC on Fox 7.

The UFC's head honcho never mentioned Fox by name during his response, and instead wondered aloud why Mitrione was appearing on "The MMA Hour" to begin with.

"It's one of those things, it's just a pain in the ass, you know what I mean?" White said. "First of all, he didn't even need to be doing an interview. And I'm going to talk to these guys. I'm going to talk to these guys. The only time these guys really need to be doing interviews is leading up to fights. You know? It ended up being a nightmare for him."

That's open to debate, since, after all, scores of fighters have done interviews after their fights over the years without causing themselves or their company any problems. But White does recognize that Mitrione's damage was self-inflicted.

"What was the point of that interview?" White continued. "There was no point in it. Now it's caused him a bunch of headaches and problems. It's caused us a bunch of headaches and problems for no reason whatsoever."

"He had just fought. He wouldn't fight again for another few months and he's still over there enjoying himself in Sweden, what was the point in doing that interview? What was the upside in that interview? There was none. No upside."

Nick Diaz tried to tell y'all Ariel is an instigator- I am sure fighters are going to start avoiding his show now

i thought that overgrown tall brit was Chael's 1st pick. Then Bones took Clint, then Chael jumped on that Uriah pick.

Thats the big question, does Dana n joe Silva do whats right and allow me to build up slow, work on his take down defense. Or does Dana try to cash in quick off the hype and tv ratings of the show has provided, give him a combo of Bisping and Stann, to guys who wont really threaten with take downs, and will give Uriah the change for a high light KO. Then give em a title shot against who ever is da champ at that time. (never know if Silva will have vacated the belt by then, or the upset happens wit weidman)

I can imagine if Silva were to move up to fight jones in da future, UFC doin a Uriah vs his coach Sonnen match winner is new champ, wit Wiedman waiting and then hype up a rematch against Uriah.

Canadian welterweight Rory MacDonald will return to action against Jake Ellenberger when the UFC on FOX returns to Seattle on July 27.

late as fuk, but dana really suspended mitrione for that fallon fox comment

 

[The Infamous]

Canadian welterweight Rory MacDonald will return to action against Jake Ellenberger when the UFC on FOX returns to Seattle on July 27.

I'm leaning toward Rory by decision. Ellenberger tends to fade in fights and I see Rory capitalizing. I'm hoping Ellenberger's early onslaught produces a KO though.

This fight will give us a good idea of where Rory stands in the WW division.

I hope Jake tests Rory's wrestling, I think it's an aspect of Rory's game that he gets a pass for and people automatically assume he's good at because of his GSP association but his takedown defense really hasn't been tested yet
