LethalStriker Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Not sure why a group of women would purposely create a name for themselves using the word horse, way too easy to call them horsefaces instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throughsilver Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Just read on Sherdog that Scott Coker had plans of setting up a LW GP with DREAM fighters in Strikeforce following in the steps of their HW GP if they hadn't sold the promotion to Zuffa. The tournament was going feature Thomson, Aoki, Gil, Kawajiri and there was talks of Bibiano Fernandes moving to 155 lbs. to participate in what would've been another also LW GP. The PRIDE LW GP poster I posted previously and this would've been easily the 2 best LW tournaments of all time. It really sucks that neither one of them happened. That Pride one looked pretty obscene. The SF one, while nice, doesn't seem all that much better (if at all) than the Bushido 9 one. Gomi, Kawajiri, Hansen, Pulver, Sakurai, Azeredo - and two rounds on the one show. God, I loved that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 The PRIDE '07 GP (and I'm assuming because of the obvious inclusion) is just basically all these little dudes are here to be fodder for Matt Hughes (instead of fodder for Gomi at Bushido 9). Did anyone want to see Gomi lose to Matt Hughes at a catchweight of 165 pounds? That would match the "why the hell did this happen" bizarreness of Roy Jones vs. Felix Trinidad at 170 pounds.

Guest Edwin Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Watching Matt Hughes run through Japanese featherweights and lightweights including Gomi and Mach again would've been awesome. There was also some potential fights there that could've been awesome with PRIDE LW's fighting Gil and Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edwin Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Why not just make GDS/Miocic? At least he's a natural heavyweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LethalStriker Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Lets not forget Ilir Latifi main evented a UFC card. Tedd Williams and Steve Judson get the honor of being UFC main eventers because of Randleman losing his shit on a pipe coming back through the curtain.

Elsalvajeloco Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Latifi at least has a UFC win now. He has a good shot at 2-1 vs. Lawlor. Now if Miocic got hurt, Maldonado vs. Mondragon would right so many wrongs of UFC matchmaking in Brazil. Bitetti Combat couldn't make a more Brazilian fight than that.

Guest Edwin Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Considering we already know Little Nog's pulling out, I think it'd be better if we guessed who'd step in as a late replacement against Rumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSP by getting moved, Feijao if he gets past Bader unscathed in June, or Shogun if he is cleared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
