TheVileOne Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 The UFC has signed Jessica Aguilar, and she will fight Claudinha at UFC 190. Excellent news, and that's a great first match-up for her. Hope she avoids Octagon jitters. I wonder if what she was talking about with meeting with the UFC on Twitter was a negotiating tactic by UFC.

TheVileOne Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Great fight and big opportunity for both guys. Either winner could be fighting for the title at some point. Also, Ovince St. Preux vs. Glover Teixeira is set as the light heavyweight main event for a UFC Fight Night card in Nashville on August 8. Big for OSP because he used to play football for University of Tennessee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 So the CBS Sports deal is done? If there is 8-10 events on Fight Pass, I would assume so. Weren't they coming on like at some ridiculous time like 11 p.m. ET? I know the boxing shows airing on CBS Sports air at a similar time. That's hilarious considering the Titan FC owner acting like the CBS deal was going to be big shit compared to the stuff on AXS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I think that's good for the business. Titan FC and Invicta are now basically unofficial feeder leagues for the UFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 I think because there is a surplus of combat sports programming, many of the smaller promotions have become very expendable. The problem is they really should not be considering the source of talent for Bellator and the UFC. Legacy FC and RFA should not be the be-all, end-all for stateside talent especially considering how fast those guys circulate in and out of the UFC. Titan actually has a decent roster, but they don't have those "hey, you probably would watch this" matchups that WSOF can put on maybe once or twice a year like their 8/1 card. You keep them alive, and you can keep tabs on UFC vets you might want to bring back and prospects trying to break in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 At some point, I think there should be like UFC and Titan/RFA/ Legacy FC options written in to guys contracts. Like say "Hey you can't be in the UFC right now, but you can be in say RFA, Titan or Legacy for a while and build your resume back up to get a quicker shot at coming back."

Elsalvajeloco Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 Visa issues have forced a lot of rearranging. The TUF Brazil 4 finals, the co-main of Story vs. Erick Silva, and a few other bouts have been moved from next week's show to UFC 190. Cara de Sapato vs. Eddie Gordon is the new co-main underneath Machida vs. Romero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
