Guest mr. potato head Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 So at the next DREAM show, Shinya Aoki was supposed to fight Antonio McKee. Then McKee pulled out because he had visa problems, or didn't have visa problems, or something. Then Aoki was supposed to fight Shane Nelson. But Aoki refused to fight Shane Nelson. Now Aoki is supposed to fight Rich Clementi. Why would anyone refuse to fight Shane Nelson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolleje Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I would refuse fighting Shane Nelson! But in Aoki's case... I guess he doesn't want to fight a relatively no-name fighter? At least Clementi has quiet some UFC fights in his resumé, so losing against him wouldn't be a total fluke... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mr. potato head Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 With UFC about to end their hiatus, it was a busy weekend for a lot of the bigger small promotions. -BAMMA 6 saw Tom Watson beat Murilo Rua, who then announced his retirement, while Frank Trigg won his fight and Ivan Salaverry lost his -Christian M'Pumbu won the Bellator Light Heavyweight Championship -In Poland, Matt Lindland lost to Mamed Khalidov, while James Thompson submitted Mariusz Pudzianowski -Karo Parisyan looked good in losing to Ryan Ford due to a cut -Marcus Aurelio and Joe Ellenberger won, Dan Severn lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IzzyX Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Alright. Hopefully when I next go over to New York to see family, they'll be holding an event at Madison Square Garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mr. potato head Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Never mind, apparently it passed the state senate but still has to pass the state assembly. That's what we get for listening to Dana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolleje Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Gina Carano is off the June 18 Strikeforce show because she didn't receive medical clearance to fight. Bad news as I think WMMA really needs her (and Cyborg) to come back in action. BUT...we do get to see Noons Vs Masvidal on the main card now (where it belonged in the first place).

Guest Neon Noodle Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Awesome Score Fighting Series card in Mississauga this weekend - Joe Doerksen vs. Luigi Fiorivanti, plus Antonio Carvalho, Marius Zamroskis, Soukoudjou and more. Streams live Friday night on thescore.com I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndOfAnEra Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Don't know if this has been posted yet: http://middleeasy.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4892:ufc-buying-control-of-g4-bellator-moving-to-spike-woah&catid=34:organizations This would explain why I've been seeing Bellator commercials on Spike (some during UFC events). I think that would be a great move for UFC, and it gives them a good reason to keep Strikeforce open. And I think G4 is in more homes then Spike?

Fitzy Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 G4 is in a lot less homes than Spike, and barely over half even know it exists apparently. I found this information on it: Spike is in 99 million homes and G4 is in 53 million homes and according to then-Comcast President Ted Harbert "just 53% of homes who receive the channel know it exist."

EddieG Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 For anyone buying this in the UK, looks like the prelims are being shown as well on primetime. Edit: Or not, I don't know, it said the show will start at midnght, but it hasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzy Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Well the actually prelims start in 30 minutes, so if they said they will air, then you'll get them then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mr. potato head Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 See those performances made Griggs and Cormier look like top-flight prospects, but then you remember who exactly it was that they beat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quom Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 The crowd was shit. Then again so was most of the fighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
