epwar Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Given their roster, Rampage vs. M'Pumbu is actually a really good fight for them to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith_h Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 They really should have just booked Rampage/Mo in the 1st round... these things have a way of NOT working out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Yeah, I'm afraid we'll never be seeing the 2nd round to this tourney. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epwar Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Indeed. Bellator never learns so expect King Mo to get KO'd again or Rampage to pull out with an injury. In other news, Chris Leben just retired on the MMA Hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 If Rampage/Mo doesn't happen now, then they should just forget about it. It will be funny if this tournament leads to Newton/Mo III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think by now promoters would learn you can't predict this stuff. How did that Overeem/Fedor fight go in the 2nd round of the Strikeforce Heavyweight Gran Prix... oh wait... yeah it didn't happen. Just make the match-ups you want in the 1st round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 IMHO, you can't "build up" fights in MMA. It just doesn't work. Strikeforce made a lot of concessions and deals to try and "build up" Alistair Overeem vs. Fedor Emelianenko for the heavyweight title. Hence why Strikeforce would go years without having their champions defend their titles. That strategy failed. Sometimes if you have a fight, you just have to make it. Amusing that Mo gets another 4-man tournament. Newton now has to win 5 fights in order to become champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Tatame's reporting Shogun/Hendo II at a Fight Night card in Brazil in March. http://www.tatame.com.br/shogun-fara-revanche-contra-dan-henderson-no-ufc-de-natal-em-marco/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BNosanchuk Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Thats cool. Guess that means big Hendo re-signed and will have a couple more UFC fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glfpunk Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 If you have two irrelevant guys and you make them fight each other, that doesn't make the winner relevant. I see what you're doing UFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalStriker Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I see Bellator clearly trying to setup Rampage vs. King Mo to be the co main event of their proposed Alvarez/Chandler PPV card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I think Shogun deserves somebody a little better then a guy coming off 3 straight, but I'm still pumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshEngleman Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I think Shogun deserves somebody a little better then a guy coming off 3 straight, but I'm still pumped. Hendo is actually ranked higher than Shogun but I know what you are saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UFC's just milking the chance of setting up a possible rematch of a great fight which they'll be able to build up easy now that they at least have the chance to do it before either guy loses anymore fights than they already have.

This is a good winnable fight for MJ and much better for him than fighting Nurmagomedov. The Ultimate Fighter Canada vs Australia? Anyone...? I watched the first episode and can't remember a single thing which isn't a good thing. I know the coaches are uninteresting. I know I'll watch episode 2 once I get some free time off on Sunday.
