Probably a Brazilian. Ricardo Almeida?

[EddieG]

Wouldn't Royce be the Brazilian in this match?

Like most Canadian and British cards, I doubt they'd put 2 brazilians against each other.

Chuck Liddell is offically retired and now the UFC Vice President of Business Development. Even with his recent skid a final record of 21-8 isn't that bad.

[Guest viperlike]

I think we can all agree that Chuck is a legend.

I think we can all agree that grass is green.

Cain's trainer is saying he's out 6 - 8 months, torn rotator cuff. I really don't want to wait that long for Cain vs. JDS.

Ironically at the same time it was announced that Brendan Schaub would fight Cro Cop, not Mir. That tells me either Lesnar vs. Mir is going down or JDS and Mir will fight for the interim title.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

I really think UFC's trying to get away from interim titles, especially when the guy's out less than a year.

Antonio McKee lost his first match in seven years...by split decision. Shame.

I was thinking why are there spoilers in a UFC thread? Forgetting the prelims, eugh, clarify next time, please?

[IzzyX]

Aw man, Gomi lost

EDIT: Fuck the booing crowd and the racist chatroom put next to the stream I'm watching, Dong Hyun Kim deserved that victory.

Aren't you in the UK? Can't afford 5 quid a month for ESPN?

Also, HOLY FUCKING SHIT

[DavidMarrio]

What a fight!!!!!!!! That's all i'm saying

[Mongrel]

The real question is what the fuck they do now?

The real question is what the fuck they do now?

Triple threat?

I'm guessing Pettis is going to have to wait for the outcome of the inevitable Edgar-Maynard III.

If Edgar wins that, we might get IV...

I had it 48-46 Edgar but the last round was tight so 47-47 is understandable.

[DavidMarrio]

Only thing that makes sense is rematch. Anthony Pettis will just have to wait for a title shot or get given a fight to keep him active kinda like George Sotiropoulos.

I had it 47-47 but I could see it being given 48-46 Maynard if not, just because i felt the 3rd and the 5th could have went either way. I had 10-8 Maynard, 10-9 Edgar, 10-9 Maynard then Edgar winning the last two rounds.

[Mongrel]

Fucking hell, poor George is going to have to "keep active" until like 2012.

[EddieG]

I think they should give Pettis the fight he was promised, and then the winner of that can face Maynard, as long as he wins his next fight whoever they put him up against, which I'm sure he will do, maybe Dana will declare this in the post-press.

[DavidMarrio]

What about George V Anthony Pettis if George gets through, which really he should Siver at 127? Be a good fight and could easily be announced as a contenders fight.

[Mongrel]

Sort of does away with the whole unifying the titles thing unless you somehow put the WEC title on the line. Would be very unlikely.

[Gazz]

It couldn't hurt to give Pettis some exposure on a UFC PPV, get his name out there a bit with the more casual fans, to that end, a fight with someone explosive and entertaining (Clay Guida, I'm looking at you) would make fine business sense.
