Jiji Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Hmm, DJ just said that they've been talking about bantamweight and Dana didn't deny it from what I got. Sounds like it'll be sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 MMAFighting.com @MMAFighting 4m White on DJ cleaning out division: There’s always a contender. We’re working on something right now. And when it happens, you’ll agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 What really gets me about that Arlovski vs. Mir is just those moments when they are standing in the middle of the Octagon and not moving at all. Mir was literally standing right in front of Arlovski with his hands down and not moving at all. Abysmal. Also, Paige VanZant is a star. Don't rush her to a title fight right now. Let her gradually work her way up. It's too early for her to challenge someone like Joanna anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Mir is not one of them. Don't worry. Paige VanZant is probably going to fight another TUF 20 alum. It will not turn out well for them just like Herrig and Chambers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I have no problem watching Paige VanZant wreck TUF 20 alums. But seriously, she just looks like an athletic freak inside the cage. Just one of those rare combinations. She probably could've been an Olympic athlete if she wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 PVZ's next fight could be against Tecia Torres since that is her only loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 PVZ's next fight could be against Tecia Torres since that is her only loss. Maybe not Torres yet. Someone like Randa Markos, who has the same amount of fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 Even though UFC 193 probably has a full slate, PVZ vs. Bec Rawlings is something I would see them doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Of all the Pro-Wrestling techniques that could work in MMA, the Zybsco stall isn't one of them. But Frank Mir thinks it is. Haven't watched the prelims yet, but the main card was really boring after the first match. EDIT: OK, the prelims were much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Ken Erico Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Was Lineker-Rivera the shortest Fight ever to get the Fight of the Night bonus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Was Lineker-Rivera the shortest Fight ever to get the Fight of the Night bonus? It may be the second shortest. I believe the first is Cerrone-Guillard at UFC 150, which clocked in at 76 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Was Lineker-Rivera the shortest Fight ever to get the Fight of the Night bonus? It may be the second shortest. I believe the first is Cerrone-Guillard at UFC 150, which clocked in at 76 seconds. Cerrone vs. Guillard was the one I was also going to say as the shortest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Checking through the last two years or so, a vast majority of the bouts awarded FOTN go to at least the final minute of round two. There are a select few that end in the last minute of round 1 or within the first 90 seconds of round 2. I'm pretty sure that there are sub three minute bouts that could've been fight of the night, but were overshadowed by a subsequent, longer bout on the card with more sustained action. Either that or it included two name fighters who had more crowd reaction, which definitely is a factor. Anyway, I don't think there was going to be anything overshadowing Rivera vs. Lineker.
