[Jutt]

Not getting on the main card but like I said he's not even main eventing the prelim for a fox card at the least he should be on a prelim for ppv on fx but he must of pissed the brass off with his lackluster performance to end up where he is ... He could he get booked on a shytty ppv like the Calgary card last month

He had to have pissed someone off. They were building him up pretty good, but dude is still kinda green right now imo. But to bury dude on an undercard is terrible.

He goes from a number one contender bout to fighting a guy making his debut usually they match guys coming off losses ... So you would think machida or rampage sine they all lost within a 6 week span

I guess they wanted to fill up this card. I wouldve rather this be Shogun Vs machida and Bader Vs Vera and throw Phil in there with Rampage. But Joe Silva doing a merry go round with 205

Rampage vs Glover > Rampage vs Davis

 

[jackswstd]

Machida came in at 201 he should just drop to MW, Shogun too would definitely stack MW but then 205 would really be in the shytter. I have this feeling one of those LHW fights is not gonna go according to plan.

I don't think he'd beat Silva anyway, but if Anderson retires soon he could dominate at MW.

Yep. Good fights there for him. Weidman, Sonnen, belcher, and even Belfort would all be good fights. I see him winning all those. Looks like Evans might be going to MW also.

 

[puppetmaster]

For whatever it's worth Chad Mendes is in trouble for a bar fight. Nothing will come of this tho.

Not if Machida drops, too.


201, though?....And I was looking at the screen like when he drank that liquid before he stepped on the scale. Rashad was doing commentary w/ Karyn Bryant and he said it was gamesmanship on Lyoto's part to get inside Bader's head. I just assume dude is sick

I don't know why but I was kinda shocked by how much larger Bader is than Machida...I dunno, guys, I think Bader might have a better chance now.,


SMH @ Bader fighting all these top contenders when they're not feeling well.


Aye, Davis' opponent is undefeated and Brazilian...is he a juijitsu whiz?...a muay thai specialist? Or has he just never fought anybody good? Tomorrow might be the night of upsets...Only lock I got is Swick zamboniing DJ....but then again...Swick's been sick

Cowboy throwing shots at Anthony Pettis

"[Pettis] wants to just sit and hide behind his win over Ben and keep trying to ride that gravy train. There's fighters that want to fight him and prove that he's just all talk, so that is a fight I definitely want. I'm not overlooking Melvin by any means, but that's the fight I was lobbying for first before Melvin stepped up."

That fight would be piff if it happens down the road.

Edit: but he aint fought no one even close to Davis's level tho.
