SRN Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 All you guys just missed the fight of the year; some tall guy with a Florida tattoo on his shoulder murdering Hulk Hogan's overweight nephew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRN Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Sadly not. David Bollea was his name, losing fights is his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Owned by Quickquid Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 We're about to have another entrant into the B-league battle with World Series of Fighting, which has advantages like a one-year deal with NBC Sports Network and a pretty killer first card for a non-Zuffa company, including Gerald Harris vs. Josh Burkman, JZ Cavalcante vs. John Gunderson, Miguel Torres and Bobby Lashley. Then again, they also have a commentary team of Michael Schiavello, Bas Rutten and Kurt Angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieG Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 One year deal is also just a one show deal, with more shows if they impress, otherwise the one year deal is just giving NBC the right to repeat the show as many times as they want over a year.

So two failed TUF fighters, and overhyped Brazilian, noted Ken Shamrock stalker John Gunderson, a coke-snorting racist and Bobby Lashley. And commentated by Bas Rutten. When is this on and how can I see it live? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cymbols Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Kurt Angle announced today on Twitter that he will not be able to commentate on the first World Series of Fighting MMA card in November. Here is what he posted… "As Requested that I Must Announce, I will not be Commentating @mmaworldseries Nov3 on NBC Sports, Due to A Conflict of Interested(sic)."

Gazz Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 A UK promotion has said that is going to be staging MMA fights in the near future for wheelchair users. Now I'm all for disability sport, but I can see absolutely no feasible way that can work without it being 'two guys sitting next to each other and just throwing punches'.

That is even dumber than tag team MMA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRN Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Man, I would love for YAMMA to return. It was so ridiculous and so hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrilla Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Not all disabled people are in wheelchairs. Blind Judo is a paralympic event, blind MMA could be a possibility, although it'll more than likely be a grappling heavy event. I doubt you'll get amputees taking part, although having metal blades as legs would give you a significant advantage on your strikes.

SRN Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 That is a good point but the way I read Gazz' post is that it would specifically target wheelchair bound users. Which... doesn't seem like it would work at all, other than being some sort of freak show which honestly, would be quite jarring and awkward.

Rich Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 It is wheelchair MMA, using specifically designed sporting wheelchairs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieG Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 And as far as amputees go, this guy is 8-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beefus of Bethesda Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 DREAM's dead. This is news? Pretty sure its been dead for about 2-3 months ever since ONE FC snatched up pretty much everybody in the wake of FEG falling apart again.
