great news for my nikka shogun i want him in the to jump back in there and give jones another fight.. in hindsight his beating wasnt as bad () now that i seen machida, rampage, rashad.. maybe without the jumping knee at the beginning shogun could tag him a couple times or actually get the trip after dodging one of those goofy ass attacks

no joke, put I would really wanna see Reem vs. Big Country. That fight would be best for Reem to check his chin and see how he would react if Nelson drops one of those one hitter quitter shots to Reem's chin. Even though Reem doesn't and never had a great chin, but if he can out-strike or avoid or take one of those one-hitter quitter's from Big Country. I'm sure Reem will find a way to win, but I honestly think that would be the best fight for Reem as a tune-up fight. Oh shyt, just found out Roy Nelson and Carwin are gonna be the next TUF coaches? They both aren't really relevant in the division, but TUF hasn't been relevant anyways, so fukk it, I'm cool with them coaching.

Nelson would get fukking wrecked by kicks to the body before he could even come close to landing that right....and it would be even worse for him if Reem cleared the distance and delivered knees. His striking his far above Nelson's anyways....you really think he's gonna just walk up and OHKO Overeem like it's nothing?

Shogun has absolutely nothing for Jones at this point.

IDK if you can finish Big Country. He only was finished by Arloski after a bad stand up when it looked Nelson had Arloski in a sub. IDK if Reem can finish Big Country if Santos couldn't do it and he put the complete beats on him Nelson, so why not put Nelson vs Reem, and if Reem is able to KO him, than that would make for great promotion if he faces Santos. Don't see the problem for a tune-up fight, but Nelson is facing Carwin already, but don't see the problem of them fighting to see if Reem can take Nelson's shots and see if Reem can KO him

He aint on Jones level..who is honestly? But hes far from being shot

Melendez defends his title against Pat Healy on Sep. 29th. Sherdog reports that the Mir-Cormier fight might be the co-main event.

Who is this chuck?

Vitor vs. Belcher at 53 in Brazil....that card is getting stacked.

Dana told FOX that if Shogun looks great against Vera...he becomes the no.1 contender...but if he doesn't, the winner of Machida-Bader gets the title shot if the victor looked better than a victorious Shogun did.

I dont know which is more retarded the fact all shogun had to do was beat 2 part timers to get back a titleshot.Or Lyoto only having to smash bader to get one.And even if bader were somehow able to beat lyoto they would seriously set up bader/jones 2 so soon? this division is in trouble

Somewhere, Gustaffson is crying.

Nah he really isnt, its like saying bisbing cried after the sonnen fight.Deep down these fighters know they got a reprieve. Anyways Gustafson is like yomcha from dragonballz, he aint ready

You guys forgetting Overeem already finished Hunt in Dream

You think the ufc fans are going to remember that? And what part of tune didnt u understand? But anyways Overeem seems to be regressing striking wise (probably a byproduct of working on wrestling) And the long hiatus could make him mad rusty.What happened in japan where he was roided up has no barring on the UFC breh

What gives you this idea breh? Did he not just demolish Lesnar.. striking? Was Werdum not petrified to stand with him?

You saying the majority of people who watch the UFC only watch UFC?

Dont think your giving Mark Hunt enough credit tho

i wouldnt be against them fighting but there are other matchups i would prefer as a "warm up" that would be better then a rematch

 

[Roman Brady]

What gives you this idea breh?

The fact he got outstruck by wedrum? if that was a deadly striker he would have got got

You saying the majority of people who watch the UFC only watch UFC?

of course they do, why else do u think zuffa go thru the trouble in buildin the acquisitions they have?

Why can't they just do Gustaffson-Rashad...neither guy has a fight right now? They probably don't wanna risk selling out Sweden cards, I guess idk.



Anyway, the hvwt. fight I was looking forward to on the FOX card(Browne vs. Rothwell) is off now b/c Ben is injured...they'll probably take Travis off the card altogether and now Demarques Johnson vs. Swick on the main card.

ever since the surgery an his L to forrest griffen of all people he has been flabby. i think machida would put up a better rematch against jones.

light heavyweight is looking flabby and sick

i hate all of theses potential rematches, rematches to fighters who were clearly overwhelmed and showed no resistance

give gustaffson even though hes not ready a shot

Did you not watch the Hendo fight?

 

[Nismo]

Did you not watch the Hendo fight?

had it not been for hendo gassing it wouldnt have been close as it was. the same hendo that looked flabby against jake shields. ima if Vera wins

 

[baltimore]

yeah i mean i seems like no one stands a chance but shoguns the nicest of the crop and strikers chance is the best shot cant see anyone putting him down and keeping him there..

shyt at least let us see a shogun rashad match up

seen a article today about silva still asking for the gsp catchweight matchup
