Hail Sabin Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Your friends don't make bright decisions. There not big MMA fans so I take what I can get. Female fights so far have be easier to persuade them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Durinho said that Vitor turned down an interim title fight with Machida since he doesn't have enough time to train for a southpaw. Of the list of opponents Durinho mentioned, I can see him fighting Romero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitlick Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I saw Mousasi asking for the Belfort fight earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Jacare should've been offered the interim title fight, not Machida. Fucking Weidman, had to fucking get injured again. FUCK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Remember, Jacare pulled out of the Romero fight due to pneumonia. They probably aren't offering him any fights until he gets back healthy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I'm listening to Steve Cofield's UFC 183 pre-show on Sirius and just heard Carlos Condit say he plans on returning around May (targeting the 5/23 card). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 So apparently the main event of the Fight Night show in two weeks (just announced tonight apparently) will be Henderson vs Thatch. I guess that eliminates that Benson vs Masvidal match in Fairfax on April unless Benson is having Donald Cerrone like money issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Dana confirmed on the FS1 post show that Belfort did turn down the Machida interim title fight, but they are offering him one more fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Dana said at the post-fight presser they have fights lined up for Gustafsson and Cormier but it won't be against each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epwar Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Probably Gustafsson/Rashad and Cormier/Bader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I think Dana said Rashad is still injured in the presser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Rumor is the UFC has been trying to sign Isaev for the last 2 or 3 months. After this, I probably expect him to sign pretty soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 lol, watching his fight with Andre Santos that Islaev lost, the promotion Fight Night is great. Walls adorned with giant banners of Putin and other political figures and they use a small Russian gong-like instrument for their horn/bell. Islaev looks to have excellent muay thai and kick boxing offense. His defence is a little suspect and his last three losses have come via submission. Santos put him to sleep with an anaconda choke. I read Bloody Elbow's scouting reports for the top 10 light heavyweight, welterweight, and featherweight fighters not in the UFC and there are so many Russian prospects that could make serious waves in the UFC and soon. Also, Kamarudeen Usman sounds like a must-see fighter. The description of his strength and wrestling ability is intriguing to say the least. Example of his good Muay Thai offense: Fight starts at 7:20 and don't blink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Vitor Belfort is now saying he will only accept a fight for the undisputed middleweight title and not an interim belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Vitor: "i haven't fought in this division in almost two years. i've lost to the #1 ranked challenger and refuse to fight the #2 ranked challenger. therefore i am champeen. praise be to the jesus."

Elsalvajeloco Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 The UFC may have to find a replacement for Raphael Assuncao on the 3/21 show. His manager wants another X-ray on Thursday before they make a decision. Not sure what the injury is, though. EDIT: By "they", I am including matchmaker Sean Shelby.

TheVileOne Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Assuncao/Faber was a stupid match-up anyway and it shouldn't happen right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Faber is in a tough spot because he said he doesn't want to just move up (in reference to the Edgar fight they were planning to make) in weight. The problem here is Johnny Eduardo is hurt. Also, Lineker's manager said it's too soon for him to return and also has a foot injury. So the Brazilian options are slim (maybe a 2nd fight with Alcantara and pull him out of the Saenz bout). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
