Joe Lucia Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Invicta 8 on September 6th, streamed live on Fight Pass. All seven events are also now streaming. Great way to hype of the next season of TUF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Knapp says they are trying to help transition Cyborg down to 135 but she doesn't have a fight yet. I guess Ediene Gomes said fuck that noise. Also, Do Bronx vs. Lentz II will be on the Foxwoods card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smitlick Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Obviously looking for a new Ronda fight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalStriker Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Ronda probably won't fight again until December so she'll probably have 1 fight to introduce her to the UFC before getting her title shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Have her fight someone like Jessica Andrade then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Ronda probably won't fight again until December so she'll probably have 1 fight to introduce her to the UFC before getting her title shot. Correct. Lance Pugmire @latimespugmire 6m Told by @danawhite that Holly Holm will get a fight in the UFC before getting shot at @RondaRousey.

LethalStriker Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Amanda Nunes and Cat Zingano are already scheduled to fight each other so if for whatever chance that Holm were to lose her debut and/or get injured in the process the winner of that would probably get the title shot instead.

Elsalvajeloco Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Cyborg is scheduled to make her 135 pound debut in Invicta in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalStriker Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 She's been told for basically a year or more if she wants to fight in UFC she has to do it at 135 and she still needs another 5 months to make 135? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 She looked smaller in the Baars KB fight, but she had been linked to the Gomes fight at 145 pounds for at least 3 months. That's the trials and tribulations of a company that doesn't have enough capital to run shows on a regular basis. Good thing a sugar daddy finally showed up.

epwar Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Bagautinov pissed hot for EPO during an out of competition test. That's not good. I'm wondering why the fight went on and we are just learning this now. Isn't the whole point of testing prior to the fight to prevent them from doing this?

Joe Lucia Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 They didn't have the results in until now. Dunno why, probably something to do with Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Undefeated BJJ champ Talita "Treta" is about to sign with UFC. Her striking is nothing special, but her double armbar game is on point. She gonna legit hurt some of these women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalStriker Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Talita's last name is Nogueira coincidentally, I'm assuming that Nogueira is basically a stock last name in Brazil like Miller or Foster is in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 MMAjunkie @MMAjunkie 22s Michael Johnson out at UFC on FOX 12, promotion seeks new opponent for Josh Thomson http://dlvr.it/6Hz77L via @MMAjunkie Also, the UFC on FOX 12 prelims will be on main Fox.

LethalStriker Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 With the event only two weeks away it might be easier to just promote Daron Cruickshank or Jorge Masvidal to fighting Thomson and get a replacement figther to go against whichever one stays on the prelim card.

TheVileOne Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 This could be my paranoia or cynicism speaking, but I always had a suspicion that sometimes all these injuries were related to steroid use or using banned substances and being unable to complete cycling off of it before their fight. I know UFC supposedly has confirmation from their own doctor on these injuries, but is anything related to PED use for these injuries impossible? Just saying, if over half the sport is juicing...that means a lot of guys are juicing and not getting caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lucia Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Jose Aldo mic drop. "Maybe I have so many injuries because I’m not taking the same ‘supplements’ you take," Aldo wrote. "I have injuries because I train a lot to beat you like I did last time, and I think you remember that and still have nightmares about it. I did all the medical exams I had to do, but if you’re a doctor now, I can send them so you can take a look. Maybe you can prescript one of your supplements so I can heal faster. "The one who gets beat up usually runs away from another beating, but you can’t run forever because I’m going after you. Before the cage is closed you can say whatever you want, because once they close it you won’t be able to open your mouth, so keep talking while you have a mouth. And who are you to say where we are going to fight? I don’t think Dana White would be happy to see someone making his decisions." "You’re the one who seems to only fight at your home, who desperately doesn’t want to fight in Brazil," Aldo replied. "I got injured before and my fight with Frankie Edgar was (the fight) moved from Brazil to Las Vegas. I fought your coach (Urijah Faber) in your home (Sacramento), fought at Mark Hominick’s home in front of 55,000 fans, I fought in Japan and Europe. And now you tell me you want to be the champion? A champion doesn’t choose opponents or where the fight is going to be. And now I ask you, who’s the real pu--y?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
