The MMA Thread of 2009-Forever

holy shit, greatest press conference at all time. i sort of feel like rich has nothing to gain from fighting belfort though

tito back is awesome just cuz 205 is such a fun division

henderson next in line at 185 is just amazing as far as im concerned

[Quixon]

Dana says he feels it is his job to make Fedor/Lesner a reality since it is what fans want. And Fedor can do sambo every Thursday night for all he cares.

I lol'd. Dana White can be a funny guy if he wants to be lol.




Edit:

Thank god no Silvia or Arlovski

[tyven]

oh shit paul daley signed with UFC, he will be exciting

[Chips]

If Fedor doesn't fight in the UFC, he will have lost me as a fan forever. Regardless of the competition outside the UFC, Dana knows how to market fighters, make me excited for their fights and always deliver a great show. Fedor not signing and not doing what his fans really want at this stage in his career is insulting. He's accomplished more than anyone else ever will, yet he won't let go of this M-1 bullshit.

[archibaldcrane]

I blame Josh Barnett for everything.

I don't know why, but I do. Goddamnit Josh Barnett.

[quannum]

fucking mark coleman man, lol.

did i miss something about Tim Sylvia? i mean he's a bitch, but i don't see where the animosity comes from either.

I'm guessing cause he ballooned in weight and got knocked out by Ray Mercer, and Andre has turned into Glass Joe.

Belfort is pretty good. I'd rather see him @ 185. I liked him in the earlier days, glad he is back.

[Pabst]

I'm curious to see what that deal is... heres hoping it's Alex E. And I'm glad to see Vitor back in UFC and I'm rooting for him to wreck franklin. Have you guys seen the pics of Vitor training with Machida? Vitor looked huge

[Blarg]

It seems strange that vitor is going to fight at 205 since dana was touting him as a potential challenger for anderson.

In other 'exciting' news Wand has said his next opponent will be super duper exciting and something about the hair on our necks standing up. I'm not sure who that can be, and I hope it's not someone that good since I think wand NEEDS a win.

[noblemountain]

Barnett's second sample came back positive...so I'm joining in on the "Fuck Barnett" bandwagon.

M-1 is trying some serious mafia strong-arm shit here...I'm glad Dana isn't going for it. If Fedor doesn't sign with the UFC because he won't agree to a contract where M-1 doesn't co-promote...I hope he gets KTFO in Strikeforce by Seth Petruzelli.

its been rumored a lot, and i believe also dimm mentioned on here too that it will be bisping. sure wandy has been getting his ass kicked but he has faced an absolute murderers row since coming back to ufc, poor guy

[Blarg]

I think wand has a decent shot against bisping since wand did well against rich and rich I think is far better than bisping. I get sick when people want mcfedries or cote to fight wand as I can see him getting Ko'd far too easily in those and he has little shot of ko'ing cote.

[FNH]

I can't wait until Aug 8. I for one want griffin to ko silva. like henderson/bisping ko....with a sledgehammer at the end too.

[Blarg]

I can't wait until tomorrow. I for one want griffin to ko silva. like henderson/bisping ko....with a sledgehammer at the end too.

[FNH]

I also thought it was tomorrow when you said that, I went to the Directv box and tried to record it. lol

[Blarg]

Well there is a sengoku on (late) tomorrow night so if you were itching for some mma there are some interesting fights there
