Disrespectful calling Marloes a random chick..

Rousey was clearly aware of Justino’s recent win over Coenen, but didn’t seem overly impressed. She also reiterated she has more important things on her mind.

“I have a lot of things going on,” Rousey said. “She’s fighting random chicks. I mean, Marloes -- it took her longer and more energy to beat Marloes than it took Miesha (in July 2011).

“It’s only the MMA diehards that want to see that fight. I have so many things going on. If she really wants to make that fight happen, I’m here.”

UFC president Dana White told reporters he has had no recent contact with Justino or her manager, former UFC light heavyweight Tito Ortiz.

“I have not heard from her manager,” White said. “I have not seen any press conferences. So, I don’t know. I don’t know what’s going on with Cyborg.”

Mayhem posted this on the UG...man, we need to get some of those fighters posting here

Dana White has killed the sport that you and i love. The refusal to build stars. The reward for standing and wanging. THE UNIFIED RULES, have all killed the sport of mixed martial arts. I come to you humbly, as a student and teacher of the mixed martial arts. A man that has never tapped out, or been knocked out in mixed martial arts competition and ask that you do not support a corporate monarchy that favors a mark in the Win column, over showcasing the ART of MMA.

Obviously, it behooves those with an interest in gambling on Ultimate Fighting to know who will most likely win and most likely lose a UFC match, so the current structure will remain until YOU, the Fan demand that these forces stop controlling Mixed Martial Arts.

I am Mayhem Miller, so i am well aware of what it is like to live on the opposite end of the coorporate power structure, with a lifetime record of 52-8-1 and a UFC record of 0-3. The men in UFC were never stronger than men i fought around the World, just the circumstances in which i fought them were more Extreme.

As a fan. I urge you...

When the next Big Thing hits, jump aboard-because with PPV sales slipping since 2009, and the executives at Fox watching these boring fights, if you are still a Dana shill, you are polishing the brass on the Cubicle Captain's Titanic. Don't let him kill our sport. I love it too much.


Sincerely,

The Mayhem Monkey

Jason Mayhem Miller

"I think a true fighter is down to fight anybody," Tate said. "I know that would be a big challenge, but fighting Ronda is a big challenge. I think everybody is super tough.

"The chance to go in there and be the [second] person to beat 'Cyborg' would be worth it. I would for sure take the fight, but I would prefer her to come down (in weight) to fight.

"I would definitely want her to come down because I don't walk much above 135 (pounds), and she's already got a huge strength advantage. So that would be fair, in my opinion."

Meisha gets an A for effort. What make her think Cris would drop weight to fight her?

[puppetmaster]

Vitor wants to fight Sonnen but not at 185. .. Sonnen says he'll fight Vitor at UFC 166 IF Vitor puts his #1 Contendership on the line. A fight at 205 for 185 title implications. .. geez

Tonight Bellator puts on one of their best events

MAIN CARD (Spike TV, 7 p.m. ET)

• Michael Chandler vs. David Rickels - for lightweight title
• Ben Askren vs. Andrey Koreshkov - for welterweight title
• Muhammed Lawal vs. Jacob Noe - Summer Series light-heavyweight tourney final
• Ryan Martinez vs. Vitaly Minakov - Summer Series heavyweight tourney final
• Jared Downing vs. Patricio Freire

PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike.com, 6 p.m. ET)

• Will Brooks vs. Cris Leyva
• Rodrigo Lima vs. Rafael Silva - bantamweight tournament semifinal

• Mike Barreras vs. Bubba Jenkins
• Keith Berry vs. Jeremy Kimball
• Shawn Bunch vs. Russell Wilson
• Richard Jacquez vs. Javier Palacios
• Felipe Chavez vs. Adrian Cruz
• Donald Sanchez vs. Cliff Wright

I like the champs in both title fights, I'm hoping Koreshkov can at least get some of his striking game going against Askren before he gets put on his back.

Will be good to see Pitbull back in action, one of the best FW's not in the UFC.
