Ok, I'll bite. What about Rampage?

Rampage's knees were hosed before the Jones match and it's just one more bit of bullshit for him to whine about.

They're supposedly going to be grappling each other at ADCC 2015, according to Kid Peligro

Did rampage get hurt from the oblique kicks? I honestly don't remember though I know he bitched about them alot. My point is more that there has never been a horrific leg snapping injury from them and he's been doing it for years.

Here's a list of those that been hurt by a Jon Jones oblique kick:

I don't mind them and think they are a part of the game, but the knee injury that lead to him missing weight against bader was from jones.

E: or maybe not. He certainly caught one while badly positioned that hyperextended his knee though

I don't think oblique kicks are supposed to hurt so much as make you stand still in front of a very dangerous striker

The oblique kick is meant to stop people moving forward. Jones doesn't really put much hip into it anyway. He uses it so he can rake his opponent in the eyes anyway.

There are some kicks I've seen in k1 where they kick from a more inside to out angle that can gently caress someone's knee but I don't think Cormier is going to plod forward like rampage and rashad do or did.

Also Nick and nate are both bigger than people realise. Nate walks around at 180.

and our champion Weidman said he doesn't remember most of the Machida fight. It comes with the territory though so I will never take that as an excuse. I also will never fault a man for having the strength and willpower to step into a cage and get attacked by another person viciously with their martial art skills. It is impressive what these guys do.

I think because of some binding issue that he would have to fight Chandler for his third fight that Bellator was basically just sitting out the remainder of his time without resigning him to a longer deal.

1st AD posted:

He does have another fight on his deal and I doubt the limit on his contract expired before the 1 year mark (they signed Eddie last fall for the first attempt at Bellator PPV in November, remember?)

My guess would be holding on to Eddie Alvarez was a big battle when they had Bjorn and the old tournament format and such. Since that Eddie deal they brought in Coker, have shaken up the format, might be rebranding the promotion, have a better idea how their PPVs are going to compete with UFC, etc., so now Viacom might be willing to let Eddie walk so they can go forward with the new direction.

I don't believe the rumor but it's possible with all the other changes going on with Bellator recently.
