Eddie Alvarez-Patricky Pitbull on Oct. 12th in Eddie's last fight on his contract.....

And Dana confirmed on a conference call that the winner of Rua-Vera is getting the winner of Jones-Hendo

Damn...did Ryan Bader just get shafted? I thought the winner of Bader/machida gets the next title shot? I could be wrong though

I don't want to see Hendo vs Rua 2

i heard winner of shogun/vera gets a title shot...terrible

and i'd love to see diaz-silva just cuz diaz is a brawler, he's tough as hell and he won't give anderson any respect...dude doesn't give a fukk. but he'd get destroyed.

 

[So UnThotful]

Let me get this straight, BRANDON VERA could technically get a title shot?

Doesn't matter who gets the next shot there will be complaining. Here's the LHW rankings he's beaten the ones in bold, Lil Nog is injured, Glover is set to fight Rampage. Who knows how he'll come out of the fight with Hendo. I believe he wins but he could get injured, shyt I'd be cool with him faking an injury to postpone his next fight awhile.

1. Jon Jones

2. Rashad Evans

3. Dan Henderson

4. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua

5. Lyoto Machida

6. Phil Davis-coming off a loss

7.Alexander Gustafsson-Everybody says he's not ready

8. Gegard Mousasi

9. Ryan Bader

10. Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante

I think we all know vera wont get a titleshot dana is just trying to give the fight some gravitas for the benefit that its on fox.Not a good look for ufc/mma any way u slice it.Makes me feel kind of embarrassed to be a fan tbh

Doesn't matter who gets the next shot there will be complaining.

Not necessarily the UFC are just in a haste to put jones out there.If they waited a bit for a contender to emerge then ppl wont complain.If bader could somehow beat machida I dont know how a win over rampage/machida (no matter how pathetic) doesnt warrant a title shot

 

[FaTaL]

im not really sure how vera or shogun deserves a shot?

neither guy put up a fight against jones the first time and if vera beats shogun which is possible lmao at dana

 

[The ADD]

Looks like Dana back tracked already and said its between the four fighters, whoever looks most impressive.

Shogun was destroyed by Hendo we don't need to see that again and to be honest what have Vera and Shogun done to deserve a title shot anyway?

I think Dana talks just to hear himself speak

 

[Jutt]

Jesus Christ 205 sucks

 

[Bows Jones]

Good to see this thread got moved to where it should be.

Dana is just tryin to hype up this card with all that title talk shyt. If Glover beats Rampage he'll get the next shot.

Jon Fitch vs Erik Silva set for UFC 153

Jon Fitch vs Erik Silva set for UFC 153

GREAT fight...how do y'all see this fight going?

153 is looking like an amazing card, so far. Hopefully there's no injuries.


GSP wasn't ready when he fought Hughes the first time...alot of guys aren't ready when they fight for the title...just give Gustaffson a title shot...or at least let him fight Rashad or someone proven to see if he deserves it.

How are machida, bader and shogun(and Vera ) possibly getting rematches w/ Jon this early but Rashad actually went the distance and stunned Jon twice in their fight but everybody's talking like he needs to move to middleweight. Gus vs. Suga...winner gets Jones, IMO.


Texiera does make sense, though.

I hope Erik silva knocks Fitch the fukk out

Dana has said Gus should be getting a big name for his next fight, I wouldn't match him up against Rashad though being that you wouldn't want a possible new face for Jones to possibly lose.
