AxB Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Well, Penne's opponent in the semi is going to be either Tecia or Carla, so either way she's got her hands full. Two fights on the next show (and both semi-finals the week after that), plus the coaches do battle... a week before the finale (in between the quarters and semis). Although this season hasn't really done anything to build a feud between Pettis and Melendez, so there's no reason to wait for it to peak or owt.
Guest Edwin Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Both fights next week should be good: Tecia/Carla and Jo Jo/Rose. I think Tecia could beat Carla if she can keep the fight standing, but a Carla/Penne fight would be interesting as they're both good friends. Also Jo Jo should be able to beat Rose and then Randa in the next round.
epwar Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Ryan Bader vs. Phil Davis is official for the Sweden show. Oh, you poor Swedes.
bazzil Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 dont be surprised to see an announcement in the next couple of weeks about a ufc show in melbourne australia, possibly at a football stadium
smitlick Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 By Football Stadium im assuming you mean Etihad Stadium. Holds 40k+. It's entirely possible they could sell it out before even announcing a fight. The biggest issue they'll have is scheduling wise with it being used for Football and the AFL throughout the year.
Guest Edwin Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Diego Nunes knocked out Joachim Hansen today in Sweden:
Elsalvajeloco Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 I was just about to post that. He absolutely ruined him. The link below has a Vine of the finish. http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/11/29/7307553/ufc-featherweight-diego-nunes-vs-joachim-hansen-ko
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Yves Edwards has announced his retirement.
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 By Football Stadium im assuming you mean Etihad Stadium. Holds 40k+. It's entirely possible they could sell it out before even announcing a fight. The biggest issue they'll have is scheduling wise with it being used for Football and the AFL throughout the year. Looks like it's been confirmed by Tom Wright. UFC 193 at Etihad Stadium on 11/15 (11/14 for everyone in the North American timezones) next year.
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Bubba Jenkins vs. Georgi Karakhanyan is co-main event for Bellator 132 Michael Page vs. Curtis Millender at Bellator 133
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 According to a tweet by Dethrone Royalty, a uniform deal with Reebok will be announced tomorrow.
TheVileOne Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 For those interested in such things, Rampage is being added to EA Sports UFC for the Legends DLC pack.
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 It's no longer Kos vs. Magny, but Koscheck vs. Ellenberger at UFC 184 in LA. I don't think that's going to end well for Josh.
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 "UFC bantamweight Michinori Tanaka tested positive for ephedrine and pseudoephedrine based on a pre-fight urine test administered prior to the event. Ephedrine and pseudoephedrine are stimulants banned in athletic competition pursuant to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) code. Based on such results, UFC officials decided that Tanaka had violated his promotional agreement and the UFC Fighter Conduct Policy. Accepting the accuracy of the test result, Tanaka has admitted to taking over-the-counter allergy medication prior to the fight, likely causing the positive result, and acknowledges the illegal substances were in his system. Consequently, Tanaka agreed to a nine-month suspension from unarmed combat competition. He must pass a drug test at the conclusion of his suspension in order to return to competition. Tanaka will also forfeit his Fight of the Night bonus he earned at the event." http://www.ufc.com/news/UFC-Statement-Regarding-Michinori-Tanaka 1
Guest Edwin Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Apparently Direct TV has spoiled this weeks episode as they have a preview that says: Carla/Penne meaning Carla beats Tecia tomorrow and Rose/Randa meaning Rose beats Jo Jo.
TheVileOne Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 So the UFC Reebok gear deal is official. I can only assume this was the announcement meant for The Time Is Now presser. It's no longer Kos vs. Magny, but Koscheck vs. Ellenberger at UFC 184 in LA. I don't think that's going to end well for Josh. Loser leaves town.
Craig H Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Poor Kos' brain. Who needs to remember phone numbers and addresses when you can just save that shit in a phone. 1
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Anthony Njokuani has been cut by the UFC and been picked up by Legacy FC. In a rare fighter coming off a win vs. fighter coming off a loss bout, Mirsad Bektic vs. Alan Omer is booked for UFC on Fox 14 in Sweden.
Guest Edwin Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Those DirecTV spoilers were real. Jessica/Carla and Randa/Rose are the semi-finals.
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 I just saw a high level fighter get kimura'd as they were in top position, in guard. Women's MMA is definitely...different.
epwar Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 They announced the undercard for next week's finale just now on FS1: Kagan/Hill Daly/Chambers Torres/Magana Calderwood/Seohee Ham Rawlings/Clark Herrig/Ellis 1
Guest Edwin Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Tecia is going to wreck Magaña. And it sucks they throw Hamderlei Silva to Jo Jo in her UFC debut.
TheVileOne Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Was sad to see Jojo lose, but man this Thug Rose. 1
epwar Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 I like watching her fight, but Rose throws so many wild kicks that if she is in the finale against Esparza, it will be takedown city. And Esparza will be smart enough to not be subbed.
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Tibau subbing for Masvidal (back injury) against Norman Parke on the 1/18 Boston show 1
