Also I'm going to point out that starting the weekend of International Fight Week (July 11), there are 6 cards in 3 weeks. That is ridiculous.

I'd really like to see the LHW belt get tossed around a little just to make the division look better. Before it was Jon Jones and a bunch of guys that might him if he doesn't bother to prepare. But hey, Cormier's daughter knew what was up.

Man, all the champions are so good. Mighty Mouse is still my favourite, but it's not by a whole lot.

We have seen this and it was kinda cool but it kinda devalued the belt when every guy in the top 5 had it at one point.

I like RDA because I like when guys who have no buisness being champion put it all together like that. Also the only evidence for EPO is "had good cardio"

ufc 88 has some garbage prelims

Nierbo posted:ufc 88 has some garbage prelims Well it features Henry Cejudo who could easily become the top contender if he does something impressive. Now while his skills aren't quite there enough yet, who knows, maybe he finally gets a KO or a sub in the octagon and he's automatically the next dude for Mighty Mouse. And in general he's a fuckin cool dude. I'm also interested to see what happens in Escudero vs Dober cause neither guy has a lot to lose at this point. And we also get Cathal Pendred somehow failing his way upwards to a title shot. unless you mean the actual UFC 88 from 100 cards ago. That's not very nice to Tim Boetsch, however.

UFC 88 was really fun, Dan won, Kampmann got embarrassed, Ryo won a fight somehow that wasn't against Anderson.

Not only did Dan win but he made Palhares look kind of dumb by stuffing every takedown attempt despite a bad back and no knees.

Mighty Mouse has poor taste in video games, but excellent taste in being able to whoop peoples rear end.

Watching UK UFC cards is like going to BAMMA and surely paying a premium for the honour. At least we're better at boxing than we are at MMA. Sometimes.

Ironic Twist posted:They need to put Manuwa vs. Rampage on that card That's a possibility, but a slim one. There are a few more spaces on the bill, however right now we're staring down the barrel of Bisping v Leites main event and Evan Dunham v Ross Pearson as co-main. Any additions would have to be further down the card. It sold out fast because it's the first UFC in Scotland and the tickets are quite a bit cheaper than bigger events (165GBP for front row). It's a lovely early start though, and such a quick sell-out just encourages them to keep putting on low rent cards in the UK.
