Wait, doesn't Bendo actually have to sign a contract in order to fight Cerrone? Or does he sign a contract to fight on a particular date against an unspecified opponent? I know I just posted that our sport is not real but good lord.

The UFC needs to cut Nick and Nate together so Bellator can sign them and officially announce a tag team division.

NY Ric from the MMA Hour offers up an interesting theory: dropping the "title shot" thing on Silva but not Diaz is a purposeful move to get Nick all complainy and worked up towards Weidman if he wins. Edit: Especially now that these "promised" title shots are pretty much bullshit if they aren't guaranteed big money. Intel&Sebastian fucked around with this message at 22:12 on Jan 13, 2015 |

maffew buildings posted:the ufc has a lot of irons in the fire right now what with the lawsuit, champion hot for cocaine, reebok deal, lambo shopping and bro time, sometimes poo poo like communicating to fighters who they're up against, they've been cut, etc. gets lost in the shuffle The Fertittas prize personal loyalty above most other things and Dana is an insane micromanager, and the two things combine to result in the UFC having a way smaller staff than they probably should have. david carmichael posted:i dunno if i've posted this but my current thought is that as soon as nick diaz's fight is done the ufc is gonna cut nate. With his current contract being for really low pay and him actively trying to get out of it, I think they're just going to keep offering him fights he'll lose until he's at the end of his contract and then cut him, so his value for Bellator is at an absolute minimum.

It just dawned on me that the Jon Jones coke situation makes the rehiring and refiring of Thiago Silva even more hilariously hypocritical and bad.

acai moonsault posted:he was fired for storming a gym and pointing a loaded ak47 down his ex-wife's mouth or something though That was the first time, when Dana said he would never fight in the UFC again. He even had a fight booked in a different organization while his litigation was pending. But then when his wife was literally so terrified she fled the country and the state of Florida thought this meant they could bring no charges, Dana took advantage of the average mma fan/media outlet's demonstrably terrible understanding of the legal process to proclaim the legal system clearly absolved Silva of any wrongdoing and brought him back. But before his next fight could be booked, his wife uploaded video of a clearly paranoid Silva chasing coke ghosts around their house, which prompted White to fire him again. So Silva can't use drugs out of competition and keep his job when Jones, who also has past embarrassing (though obviously less violent) criminal charges, can straight up fail a drug test for cocaine and do a single afternoon of rehab and the official line is Dana's confident he will beat this like the champ he is.

Lungboy posted:As an opposite, I was really happy to learn that Bill Wallace was doing commentary on UFC1, but then upset by how terrible he was at it. I heard a story that he was backstage at the event just putting his superfeet in everybody's faces. mewse posted:A person I know IRL posted to her facebook that she's questioning the legitimacy of the UFC after this Jon Jones fiasco. I wonder how big the impact is on less hardcore fans than us. I'm guessing "not very" but I was surprised to see the post. Ignorant people question the legitimacy of the UFC every time anything they don't like or understand happens. A ton of people don't even know how it's different from WWE still.

Presumably Brown will get battered or just wrestled to paste, but if he somehow managed to work his magic it would make my week. The way he walks people down is so chilling. Fighting Erick Silva, Robbie Lawler, and Johny Hendricks is a hell of a year, though.
