jake shields gets cut

im not a fan but dude is a solid fighter and defintely a contender, nothing more. but for him to be treated like this is fukked up.

on the other hand, dana is more interested in putting together ronda vs carano, when it's damn well known gina can't make 135 and hasn't fought in years.

A shuffle to which UFC President Dana White recently alluded is now official, and a highly anticipated matchup between Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva now takes place July 5 in Las Vegas at UFC 175, while Junior dos Santos vs. Stipe Miocic replaces that fight as the headliner for May’s UFC Fight Night 42 in Brazil.

White today revealed the moves to Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports though an exact reason for the moves wasn’t given.

New Zealand’s own James Te Huna (16-7 MMA, 5-3 UFC) will headline the card against former Strikeforce welterweight champion Nate Marquardt (32-13-2 MMA, 10-6 UFC), who will move back to 185 pounds at a “Fight Night” event in Auckland on June 28

So that 173 card is basically worthless now. They are struggling and its obvious. I bet globo is pissed at this

Melvin is a decent pick-up for WSOF of fighting. I like their LW champion Justin, that would be a decent test to see how good he is.

Jake Shields may find himself in WSOF as well.

Have to recommend the Co-Main Event Podcast with Ben Folkes and Chad Dundes, listen to it every week.

Also this past week Sherdog Radio with Jack did an interview with Konnan which is really good.

So they moved JDS v Stipe to the main event of that Brazil card and Chael v Wandy to UFC 175 now. Geez.


Not that I expect much from the fight beyond Wandy getting taken down repeatedly and eating pitter patter knuckle sammiches but still.

[So UnThotful]

Im glad the UFC are visiting my homeland NZ

but they should have held off until Mark Hunt was ready

At least Wandy won't have to take the beating at home now

Sonnen may be a kitten without TRT tho. I don't think he had it for the Evans fight and he looked like trash

evans is more skilled, chael is all about ground and pound and when he faces a guy whose a better wrestler and striker hes basically fuked
