Guest Edwin Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Who is everyone?Everyone, literally, except those close to Gus.Honestly though, he had a loss previously to Phil Davis and he didn't look that dominant in his last 2 fights against Shogun and Thiago Silva and Jones steamrolled everyone he had fought before, so everyone was indeed picking Jones as the huge favorite.

Guest Edwin Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 That was pretty bad and picking his nose really didn't do him any favors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I remember his comeback to Jose Aldo calling him a pussy and accusing him of PED use being pretty weak as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I believe Joseph Benavidez is a pretty funny guy or at least has projected himself in such a way at some points, so maybe he can learn a bit from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly thought Jones would crush Gus and wasn't that impressed with the way he fought before that fight. Things have changed. I certainly don't expect 35yr old Rashad who hasn't fought in a year and who's last two fights were against Sonnen and Hendo to have a very good time with Gus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edwin Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Cain suffered a knee injury. Werdum vs. Hunt for the interim title is the new main event for UFC 180. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only trash talking mattered... Well, Mendes is fighting Aldo in Aldo's hometown for the 2nd time. More than likely, McGregor will get his shot in a stadium of his own folks. Cain's body is made out of shredded cheese. He has whatever bad juju Thomson had a few years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Never thought I would hear "Mark Hunt UFC heavyweight champion" in 2014 even if only interim but it is a possibility. Maybe not a great one but hey a man can dream 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hasim Rahman was like the legit heavyweight boxing champion of the world for like five or six months. It can happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Awesome that Mark Hunt has a shot a title, but sadly, this is the worst match-up possible for him. I can still hope for Arvloski vs. Hunt for the UFC title in 2015. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Strip Cain Velasquez of the title. We cannot have another Dominick Cruz situation. Cain Velasquez is the most injury prone champion ever and can never stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edwin Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The scenario of a fat Samoan former kickboxer turned MMA fighter with a 5-7 MMA losing record getting tapped by middleweights and suddenly turning his career around and fighting for the biggest title on the biggest platform in the sport is quite a bizzare one.

Zero Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 It would be til you realize this is the same sport where a pro wrestler came over and won the title after 3 fights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glfpunk Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I wouldn't say sport, I'd say weight class. You can't equally compare the shitty fighting that goes on in the incredibly weak heavyweight division with the rest of the sport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Jesus...If McCorkle subbed Hunt, what is Werdum going to do? Of course, we could wind up with the Werdum who constantly lays on his back, hoping his opponent falls into his guard, oblivious to the fact that he's decidedly losing the fight.

Elsalvajeloco Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 According to the Breaking News audio on F4W: - Cain was already training on a "sprained" knee, but he was planning to get surgery after the fight - He aggravated his injury in wrestling practice bad enough to where his doctor told him he couldn't train for a month - Velasquez is slated to fight the winner of the UFC 180 main event in March.

TheVileOne Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 He's had two knee surgeries before, any information on if this is the same injured knee? Last month, Velasquez basically said he trains too much and trains when he's hurt. So it's no wonder he's constantly getting injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last month, Velasquez basically said he trains too much and trains when he's hurt. So it's no wonder he's constantly getting injured. The injury prior to the first Dos Santos fight was the left knee. This was a meniscus tear and MCL sprain on his right leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
