i hate gil bear for hardballing his way into a title shot over a slew of other more legitimate contenders but i hope to gently caress he beats pettis because i get the feeling this theme will be recurring

outside of just wanting Gil to be active, I don't see why this would annoy you. Tony has been injured all year and LW has been in a strange spot in the interim

If tiny welterweight Melvin Manheof can turn Hunto's lights out, then I'm pretty sure Roy "Big oval office" Nelson can do the same. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst :(

Fighters in the same weight class calling out Bisping is old hat. I mean, even Urijah Faber has called out DJ MikeyB

I yearn for the day when a female fighter throws out the Bisping jab.

(Iaquinta/Damm may be bad but we'll at least get to hear Serra screaming)

The only thing bad about Al Iaquinta fights are when he does something stupid, but other than that he's the man and everyone should be jazzed up for Raging Al.

You know what, people keep making this argument and it genuinely bugs me.

The fight was a long time ago, he spent a lot of time in the #2 promotion around (Bellator): What would you have him do?

What 170lbs fighter would you have him fight outside the UFC?

He keeps winning, he keeps finishing fights, he has a large following and more buzz than the majority of UFC fighters

It's not like the dude can manifest better competition, he just demolishes anything that's in front of him.

Have you still not watched the fight?

I don't see how anything else the rest of the year would change things unless Weidman snaps both of Vitor's feet or something.

yeah, I think as it stands right now you have TJ being the front runner with Weidman being in close consideration if he pulls off some highly refined violence on Victor Gracie

AND if Anthony Johnson does get by Gustafsson, he would have had the hardest road to the title (Davis, Nog, and Gus) during Jon's reign

you know what, that says more about the 205lb division then it does about Anthony Johnson

Maybe TAM wants him as their head coach.

This is basically it. Duane was hired on as a striking coach when Master Thong basically hosed off for like 16 weeks without telling anyone but Duane also provided structure to workouts, game planning, and and overall method to the madness that was non-existent prior to his tenure with the gang of shirtless men.

I was curious about Askren, so I looked up the murderer's row that he's faced thus far:


Methinks he'd lose to anyone in the top 15 in the UFC, even Mike Pyle. He definitely doesn't deserve a title shot based on beating a pile of fighters that either washed out of the UFC or weren't good enough to make it.

I don't think Askren deserves a title fight right off the bat, but I think a top 15 welterweight is definitely something that needs to happen before he retires.

The outcome was that JLau beat Chiesa. Chiesa is the sorest loving loser. He ran out of the cage when he got choked out by Masvidal too.

The Masvidal loss was unfortunate because (if I remember correctly) he was winning up until the last second submission and he was fighting in his hometown and put that kind of occasion up on a pedestal.

Not excusing his behavior, just shedding some light on why he may have not been the most reasonable of fellows at that exact moment.

Is Benavidez/Ortiz going to be the main event for the Nov 22 FS1 show in Austin? That feels kind of weak, even for a FN card.

Ehh, it's a fight night card. And if Ortiz gets by JoeyB then he's basically assured a title shot. Not sure what they do with Benavidez if he wins though.

That card isn't exactly on fire as it stands right now. Hell, Luke Barnatt is probably on the main card for crying out loud.
