[jackswstd]

Anybody gets a link to the Struve fight I'd appreciate it. Looks like he might start to live up to his potential.

He said he wants to fight Werdum. He has looked solid in his last few fights, but he doesn't want it with Werdum yet.

Brad Pickett's KO on Yves

That was a really fun Jitz battle between Wiman/Sass.

So Matt Mitrione said wants to fight big names. beefs with LHW's like Rampage/Tito gets offered a fight with a legit HW in Cormier. .. And says "no thanks"



Yes hed have gotten that ass whooped thoroughly but it was a pretty big opportunity




-P-

I saw that. I'm kind of let down by that. If you heard him on the mma hour the last few weeks talking about he's broke and needs money, wants big fights, is going to stay in shape year round, is hoping someone gets hurt so he can fill in, etc..etc..

it's a bit that he did this.

everyone avoiding fights with Cormier and Bones like the plague. lol. thats my dream fight right there. I think Cormier is the only dude that can beat bones

 

[profound]

cormier is still pushing for it too and he made a good case. i can see it happening whether cain beats junior or not.

 

[Roman Brady]

why is everyone fantasizing about cornier @ LHW when its already been reported he cant make the cut due to his kidney? If the recent machida call out has shown anything its that its that these fighters will just throw shyt out there to stay in the news while inactive..

Rashad Evans rejected offer to face Glover Teixeira in UFC 153 - ESPN

I'm not mad at him for it either. If he's not in shape that's a lot to ask to fight on three weeks notice in Brazil against a dangerous albeit unknown still

And what is it about you that you DONT undestand that a weight cut is not the same thing as weight loss. The reason his kidneys are fukked up is because he was cutting weight too hard, lack of water is terrible for your kidneys...but youre retarded if you think that DC cant lose weight naturally..its not like hes at 10% body fat and literally cannot lose anything but water.

If DC cleans his diet up he could make 205 easily...

Let's be reality, based on his current body comp I doubt he has a high desire to make the changes to get to 205 that way.

Who knows if its something he actually wants to do. Idk how he'd hold up against the monsters at HW in the UFC...its possible though. Dude has a great skillset. I was just speaking on the possibility of him losing weight...i think he could, and he's said he could make 205 if he dieted the old fashioned way. He walks around at like 220-230 if im not mistaken.
