Essential The Official MMA Thread

[The G.O.D II]

people been saying that for years but his fukking ego won't allow him to shut the fuk up and stay out the spotlight.

call me crazy but, i really expect a turn around for bellator in 2015. I truly believe Coker isn't gonna fuk this opportunity up 2nd time around especially with the budget viacom is giving him. coker has always put on entertaining card going back to the strikeforce days and unlike dana he's always had a good relationship with the fighters. rarely do you hear fighters talk bad about him.

Yea I like where Bellator is heading under Scott. I always felt their terrible tourny format, wack production, and Rebney's pushing bland, foreign fighters was holding them back. I think they should honestly break the bank for Brock once hes down with WWE. Its makes perfect sense for both sides. Brock is a huge star who would bring ratings in. A fight between him and Lashley would draw huge. Brock doesn't have to worry about his face gettting caved in by JDS, Hunt, etc. He can dominate over Bellator's weak HW division and gain credibility. Plus I just want to see Dana's face if that ever happens.

What a clown

this fukking idiot.. he thought bellator would hold him up like simba at pride rock. they just wanted another name for the roster. Ever since he left the UFC off that loss to glover he's basically been as far as most fight fans have been concerned. wwe? bellator? meh
now that he's started his inevitable slide into the bushes UFC ain't ever taking his ass back.

In Portuguese, R's are pronounced as H's, so it's just a play on her name "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey

Hespect!

Also as far as people talking about Bellator doing some pro-wrestling style antics, I dig it. There's always been a crossover audience for the average viewer that Dana has always rejected, but everyone knows it's there. I like the entertainment factor of Bellator at times, and it goes to show that you can make exciting fights with anyone if you tell a good story and the match making is right. I feel like the UFC used to understand this.

Their whole thing used to be "Boxing failed because they had weak undercards, and we don't." But now their undercards are super weak.

Dave Meltzer dropped a bombshell on his latest F4Wonline.com podcast. Meltzer not only confirmed Dana White’s statements earlier this week about Brock wanting back in, but Dave reported that Brock is leaning towards a return to the UFC. The former UFC champion could return to the octagon at age 38 in 2015 in what could be one of the biggest returns in UFC history.


Meltzer also mentioned that Brock may have another option. According to Dave, Bellator is very aggressive right now, especially coming off a monster rating for the Ortiz vs. Bonnar fight. Meltzer speculates that Bellator will get in the Brock Lesnar game and could make Brock a very enticing offer. Meltzer did point out that as of his podcast, there had been no talks between Lesnar and Bellator.

I hope Brock stays retired. Never liked his attitude. I was very pleased with his last fight

I was never really a fan, but I would like to see him back. The HW division is that division is in desperate need of talent. Plus when Brock fought, it was a huge spectacle. Win or lose, he was exciting.

This. I hated Brock at first because even as a wrestling fan i didn't want a "wrestler" coming in and beating one of the best BJJ heavyweights ever in Frank Mir.

But you gotta give brock props. he started off in the deep end and held his own. he didn't have a perfect career by any means, but when he looked good, he looked damn near unstoppable. I'll always contend that he just is one of those guys that hates getting hit in the face, and he'll drop to a hard shot. But if he can impose his game and become more comfortable with taking shots to the face, I think he can basically beat any heavyweight out there.

i think he'd be good for the UFC if he could come back. I'm surprised he wants to. I think he'll go where the most money is. I did hear Vince regretted paying him so much for such a limited contract over at WWE

fukk Brock. Especially now keep him away, or you know what let him back in so he can get fukked up again. UFC letting him fight and hyping him up at 38 is a joke.

That's one of the things I dislike about MMA is fans wanting so bad to make it seem like WWF. No that's not what this is. It's the top sport where you have to be well-versed in almost every aspect of hand-to-hand combat or it's light's out. It's not a soap opera for men. fukk storylines and gimmicks, the faster MMA gets away from that crap, the sooner it will be taken serious as a sport and attract top competition and big money.

hell nah... Im cool with having a production style of a big wrestling event, But I dont want "stories" or "gimmicks" like we saw with the corny tito and bonnar segments...At end of the day this is Martial Arts, and I dont want Boxing,BJJ,Muay thai (real)wrestling and other martial arts disrespected being mixed in with Entertainment Wrestling....

Also have you seen Inoki Genome Federation? cot damn its terrible and cringe worthy...seeing MMA dudes cut promos n shyt, runs ins.

bruh where else are the top talents in martial arts fighting if not in UFC? The real talent goes to sports where they get paid more and not beat up, period. What is this sport if not but dudes fighting? What makes the content different from bellators? The storylines bring that. Brock brought that. He wasn't the greatest fighter but cause he's the guy from wrestling and he actually won the belt....who else has done that in UFC? It's pretty cool

But I hope he stays retired. Let it go, stay with wrasslin and get your money. No use in coming back for a unceremonious JDS/Hunto/Big Country KO

 

[jackswstd]

At best he was a work in progress despite winning the title and he's too far removed from it to make any noise now. There's no way he'll be able to jump right in with a contender.
