Charles Oliveira vs. Hatsu Hioki Soa Palelei vs. Jared Rosholt (lol) Myles Jury vs. Abel Trujillo Kelvin Gastelum is fighting that Swedish dude who subbed Sakara and Kelvin Gastelum owns.

I've never seen, Mighty mouse fight. I've seen diego sanchez fight once, but he ate a bad quail egg and that cost him the match. Schaub is Honda's boyfriend right? I only started watching mma in like September.

Mighty Mouse is pretty rad, all those lower weight class guys are typically fast and slick as gently caress. Abu Schaubi is a dink, we all hope bad things come his way (post the butterfly gif someone) and Diego puts on entertaining fights even though he's a punch drunk idiot 100% of the time.

Triticum Guzzler posted:I love Mighty Mouse but I can't imagine that card not having one of the worst buyrates ever The thing about that is all the UFC PPVs have been doing dog doodoo except for the Silva and GSP ones last year. All the others for at least a year have been ~300k, so the DJ vs Ali one doing 100k really won't be that bad by comparison. UFC 174 is basically the summer card to keep UFC's massive staff busy while they wait for Weidman vs Machida next month.

In Wanderlei news he ducked the UFC Brazil final and was claiming he was removed from it. He wasn't.

It's impressive how efficiently Wanderlei has managed to burn through the goodwill he had from PRIDE and the Stann fight.

Wand reminds me of Renzo where they are used to doing what they want, and have a legion of sycophants to support them. When the real world catches up with them, they can't comprehend it, and everything is a 'misunderstanding' and things can totally be salvaged, regardless of the mounting legal or financial consequences.

So wait, the Jon Jones PR disaster of the week isn't even contract negotiations? It's just the bout agreement?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkOEi52lQrc This is really well done and you should totally watch it. quote:Media mogul Jay Z and legendary fighter Anderson Silva have come together to produce a new series for Jay Z’s Life+Times web channel. The series, entitled STATIC, delves deeper into some of the most hotly contested rivalries in mixed martial arts, giving fans a much more thorough understanding of the friction between the fighters.
