Fitzy Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I figured they would go with Coleman/Tito before he was cut, but not a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I am actually not too fussed about that, its always sad to hear legends like Coleman being cut, but Coleman/Tito does nothing for me, and the outcome wouldn't do much for either fighter, and to be honest I will always feel that Tito is gonna take that fight fairly easily.

blaze1992 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I think Saunders/Ellenberger will be a FOTN candidate both guys are exciting, and Ellenberger is a beast on the feet, ask Condit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 It's two and out for UFC welterweight Frank Trigg after his Ultimate Fighting Championship return. After posting a 6-1 record to earn his way back into the organization and signing a new deal with the UFC in 2009, Trigg was notified on Monday that he had been dropped from the UFC after a knockout loss to Matt Serra at this past weekend's UFC 109 event. Trigg confirmed the news with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) on Wednesday. Trigg said he held off on sharing the news until he could notify family members. He said he's undecided if he'll pursue opportunities outside the organization. The former University of Oklahoma wrestler and PRIDE veteran suffered a TKO loss to Josh Koscheck in September; it was Trigg's first fight in the UFC since a submission loss to Georges St-Pierre at UFC 54 in 2005. With that loss and the subsequent first-round stoppage defeat to Serra, UFC officials elected to cut Trigg from its welterweight roster. Following that first UFC stint that ran from 2003 to 2005, which included a pair of title losses to then-champ Matt Hughes, Trigg (19-8 MMA, 2-5 UFC) fought for organizations such as Strikeforce, World Victory Road, HDNet Fights and ICON Sport, where he defeated Jason "Mayhem" Miller for the organization's middleweight title. The 37-year-old fighter and broadcaster then found a new life when he returned to the 170-pound division and strung together wins over the likes of Edwin Dewees, Makoto Takimoto and Falaniko Vitale to earn the new UFC deal. However, as with most fighters, the back-to-back losses prompted the walking papers. As MMAjunkie.com reported earlier today, the UFC also dropped UFC 109 headliner Mark Coleman and heavyweight Tim Hague following the Feb. 6 event. Phillipe Nover's termination has also since been confirmed. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I DIGG TRIGG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzy Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Not surprised at all. He looked bad and old in his last fights. He didn't belong in there with the best welterweight division in the world. He should go back to commentary, though. It would be great if Strikeforce could sign him to be a commentator and replace Frank Shamrock. When Mauro Ranello gives asks for Shamrock's opinions on scoring or what's going on, Shamrock never gives a good answer on it and it comes off bad. Shamrock is just horrible at this. Trigg would be so much better, but I doubt it'll happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZJ Penn Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Not surprised at either but I expected the Coleman cut less than Triggs. Thinking of Coleman, he often says he'll keep going till he says its time to stop, anyone think he could show up elsewhere? Although his best days are clearly behind him, he just headlined a UFC pay per view, so could be a great name for someone like King Mo to get on their CV.

Fitzy Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Coleman in Strikeforce seems likely. He even could be put in their heavyweight division as someone Bobby Lashley could face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Coleman just isn't relevant anymore, and I think it would be a fitting end for him to retire after headlining a UFC PPV against a guy he was supposed to fight early on in his career, rather than going elsewhere and possibly tarnish his reputation.

Guest Mr. Potato Head Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Sure it would be fitting, but this is MMA, where Severn, Frye, and both Shamrocks still prance around at shows of increasing irrelevance - what are the odds Coleman doesn't at least try the same?

Fitzy Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 --We can confirm the Tatame story that due to a shoulder injury, Vitor Belfort is out of his middleweight title match with Anderson Silva on 4/10 in Abu Dhabi. I would expect Chael Sonnen to get the first chance, although he looked pretty rough at the end of the match on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DroMPHo Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 So when TEOL was asking me on MSN who could possibly be thrown against Silva now, it wasn't that he forgot Belfort had a shot, it was that he'd traveled a week into the future.

SRN Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 About Kampmann's cut; fucking ouch. Also, goddamn, first Silva needs more time to heal, now Belfort is injured. That fight is just not supposed to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 So, Couture versus Franklin might happen in June. Is all Couture just going to fight guys past their prime just so they can hand him another title shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
