Evinger lost to Pennington. That's how good Invicta 135 is now.

Not sure. It's from EFC Africa, home of former UFC Heavyweight sensation Ruan "Fangzz" Potts.

Chris James 2 posted:Fedor's considering a comeback what I don't understand about this is Bellator/Viacom might be able to give him what he wants but I can't believe UFC wouldn't pony up more cash at this point. There's no reason not to have Fedor in UFC's heavyweight division at least once. Maybe not Brock vs Fedor at Dallas stadium anymore but Cain vs Fedor or a rematch between Werdum vs Fedor would certainly make everyone a shitload of money. Fedor's already lost and is old at this point so it wouldn't matter if he loses again, nobody would care that much. Why not? What the gently caress does Scott Coker have going for him? Is he just that much nicer than the Fertittas that he can sway stars like Carano and Fedor to fight for him over UFC?

Maybe he's a loving Russian weirdo who takes pride in not working for the big bad UFC or some nonsensical bullshit, I dunno. He's Fedor, he's not the smartest man in the world and he's certainly not surrounded by the smartest people in the world.

What is this Fedor news based on? There's a rumor he's coming back every few months it seems.

Dana White is afraid of Fedor embarrassing his heavy weights. You'll never see him in UFC.

Well thankfully they kept Jimmy Smith cause he's the best color guy in the business and if they lost him that would be the dumb move, but I'm not sure why they got rid of Wheelock. Unless it was Sean Wheelock who wanted out after being asked to work the upcoming King Mo vs Phil Davis fight, which I understand.

That's interesting. I spoke to Sean Wheelock years and years ago in his capacity as a football (soccer) guy, and even though he clearly loved MMA it seemed like football was his big thing.

One of the judging courses I took had Wheellock in it and at the dinner afterwards a lot of the conversation revolved around the Kansas city comission (this was shortly before the commissioner at the time stepped down and the scuttlebutt was that there was some kind of possibly-improper relationship involving Sharon Knapp) so apparently he's been involved in the scene there for a while.

isn't Kansas's commission kinda dodgy? Seems like any fight Texas won't touch they'll license.

Kansas City has/had its own commission? Is that common for larger municipalities?

quote:“It’s extremely important for any athlete to do what you love, to work out on training sessions, to prove yourself on the competitions, representing your Motherland," - told Fedor in his statement to the Union MMA of Russia, - "For the time that I’ve been working for the Ministry of Sport I managed to give my contribution into development of martial arts, I cooperated with the sports federations, learnt the problems of our sport and tried to solve them as good as I could. Now I feel that it’s a high time to get back in action”. I still wanted to see him fight in UFC at least once but I'm guessing Fedor vs Kimbo is A Go.
