Elsalvajeloco Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Today's hearing was only a information gathering for Wanderlei, but I am going to safely assume he will be suspended for admitting his use of diuretics at a later date. Sonnen didn't show up and was given a temporary suspension, BTW. Bubba Bush vs. Kevin Casey at UFC 175 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Am I the only one baffled that they are showing this on Fight Pass? I mean it isn't like it is something the UFC should be proud of. I can't imagine the WWE Network if it was around in the early 90's would show Vince McMahon's trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine the WWE Network if it was around in the early 90's would show Vince McMahon's trial. I would have paid so much money to see the trial as would everyone else. Hell, today is the anniversary of the OJ/AC Bronco chase. People (specifically Americans) eat public disasters up. This wasn't much a disaster people were hoping as it was just the usual lame excuse fighters use. Before that we got 20+ minutes of disciplinary action on a Mexican club fighter who lost to Rau'shee Warren and didn't know you couldn't take steroids. LOL it is what it is.

Elsalvajeloco Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Your UFC Tulsa headliner Benson Henderson vs. Rafael Dos Anjos *cue glfpunk* Also Ryan Bader has his next fight booked. Don't know what it is yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalStriker Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Quick turnaround for Benson, looks like he's staying busy in the same way that Cerrone does. Wish more fighters would do this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Like the Henderson/dos Anjos fight. Hendo knows he will have to rack up some impressive wins to get to the title again. With the title so seldomly defended, he's basically the interim champ now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Other then Sapp is there really any Heavyweight fighters out there that they can have Kimbo go against to where it won't be a complete destruction of Kimbo? It might be a destruction nowadays, but how bout Thompson vs. Kimbo 2? and Henderson really is awesome. Dude fights and fights and fights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I believe Casey vs. Bush is the second RFA champ vs. Legacy champ this year. Munhoz vs. Hobar was the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Bendo/RDA should be a good fight and another Bendo finish. I'm guessing they go through with Bader/OSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Gross also said a source told him Bjorn could be out, which basically is what Viacom has wanted. They want a product more like the UFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalStriker Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Without the tournament format I wonder if that means they won't have "Seasons" anymore where they air every week for 2 months straight 2 times a year and instead break the events up more.

Hard to say really since it's been a long time coming and was really apparent the night of the PPV. So I dunno if bringing in people like Kimbo is making the company culture more like UFC or just trying to see if the promotion can go after casual fans. Viacom has always had a clash with Bjorn's vision of the company. I assumed they were just waiting for Coker's non-compete to be up to make the move.
