Essential The Official MMA Thread

"Near the end of January, things unexpectedly got really serious.

When UFC 196’s heavyweight main event fell apart, Jones tacitly offered to step in to fight contender Stipe Miocic if the UFC would put the title on the line. The idea was tantalizing, but the short notice likely made it impossible, and the blockbuster fight announcement never came."

Got from Bleacher Report

UFC's HW Division will be interesting with Jones there.

 

[LinusCaldwell]

You can't blame drugs for what happened to Jones against Gus.

I'm going off of what Jones said he was partying and not taking Gus seriously

Of course he'd say that. It was the first time he looked human and Gus turned out to be a tougher opponent than he thought.

 

[The Infamous]

Do you guys think any chance UFC goes away with the HW division all together. Let Bellator have it?

At this point their losing money on promoting HW fights.

The casuals love HWs. No chance.

That's exactly the point he didn't take Gus seriously even when he was training for him.

Lol Rockhold gotta be pissed he did not want to be at 199 he specifically said that

 

[MMM]

Rockhold vs Wideman II at 199 per Dana

Dana is such a scumbag a few weeks ago he said he couldn't see how he could give Aldo an immediate rematch, but after a thorough ass whuppin Weidman gets one

Ronda would've got one too had she accepted.

Rockhold vs Wideman II at 199 per Dana

fukk these rematches. Should've given the fight to Jacare (scratched the Vitor fight).

 

[LinusCaldwell]

What happens to Romero?

 

[The G.O.D II]

What happens to Romero?

2 year suspension?

 

[The G.O.D II]

I thought they would have at least waited until the bisping/silva fight to make a move. There is absolutely no fukking plausible reason to give Weidman a rematch. None whatsoever

What happens to Romero?

That scumbag has been removed from rankings Fighter Rankings | UFC ® think its a foregone conclusion he will get cut

I actually dont mind running back the Weidman fight...Luke says he was sick as a dog, I forgot what Weidmans excuse was so whatever, run it back.

Jacares win streak wasnt anywhere near as impressive as Vitors before he lost to Weidman, so I dont see why the fukk he deserves a nod over Vitor
