Fitzy Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Ah, so he is. That wasn't there a few minutes ago. That's good, I'd like to see Henderson vs. Edgar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieG Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Any chance some of the UFC lightweights might drop down a division? Some of the lower WEC 155'ers getting cut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerhart Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I wouldn't cut some of the lower guys, they could always be used to build some new acquisitions. Like a jobber is to a prospect Wrestler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnar hendershow Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I was a bit mixed when I heard the news, but UFC could use more divisions since a lot of their shows suffer from the problem of not having any fights of consequence. A lot of these guys can be used to draw attention to TV events, and the WEC divisions were so exciting that we'll benefit as fans with much more thrilling matches on the show's undercards. Looking forward to the Lightweight unification, even though it seems pretty clear the winner of Edgar/Maynard will retain in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerhart Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 And Aldo is not just fighting at UFC 125, he'll also be defending the UFC Featherweight title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidMarrio Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) Gonzaga is gone. Doesn't suprise me. Ever since he beat Cro Cop he thought he was a world class striker, be someone for Strikeforce though to have. Still bit crap they cut two fighters I like to see in Cote and Gonzaga, I don't get the Gonzaga cutting if Kongo is still in the UFC, I'd much rather have a loser leaves town kinda deal with Gonzaga/Kongo that would make sense. I expect Yvel to get cut and possibly even Tito unless they decide to actually go down the Tito/Chuck III route Edited October 29, 2010 by davidmarrio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerhart Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 As much as I dislike it, it's official - Jon 'Bones' Jones vs. Ryan 'Darth' Bader is official for UFC 126 in February. Can't say I'm not pumped for it, Silva/Belfort and this as Co-Main, should be a great show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzy Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Jose Aldo vs. Josh Grispi (so his fight with Erik Koch is now off) is official for 125 for the UFC Featherweight title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Kiniski Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 It's being reported that UFC's first Featherweight fight will between Leonard Garcia and Tyler Toner on Dec. 4 @ the TUF finale. I find it interesting as it's actually before the final WEC event. Dana wasn't exaggerating when he said it would be taking place immediately.

EddieG Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Dana also said that none of the WEC guys would fight before 2011. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerhart Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Dana also said Fedor would be fighting in the UFC by 2008, so let's stop believing everything Mr. White says. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieG Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Yeah but there's a difference, as he had no personal control over Fedor's contract and negotiations, where as he's in control of the WEC fighters, so eh. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Kiniski Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 And he threw everything at Fedor - that wasn't anything to do with him personally. It was Finkeldouche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerhart Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 I've read that the new guy in charge of M-1 is willing to sign Fedor to the UFC without the stupid demands they wanted with the other guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidMarrio Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Roy Nelson would like to fight The Undertaker North/South transition into a Tombstone would be pretty sweet "The thing is nobody wants to fight a fat guy like me… CroCop is a legend in this sport, and I would’ve loved to have fought him. I’d like to fight [Antonio Rodrigo] Nogueira for the same reason. I’d love to fight [Alistair] Overeem, Brock Lesnar or The Undertaker." See Noguiera/Cro Cop would be interesting matches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieG Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Only fight that would really grab my attention in the heavyweight division right now would be Lesnar/Nog, but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
