Elsalvajeloco Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 GSP's team doesn't come off very good (Recommended read) http://www.sbnation.com/2013/9/11/4719572/georges-st-pierre-johny-hendricks-drug-testing-gsp-ufc
TheVileOne Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Hendricks doesn't come off very good when he says that VADA is in GSP's pocket and will cause him to fail drug tests. It makes him sound like an idiot.
Joe Lucia Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 TUF 18 is one episode old, and we already know the coaches for TUF 19: BJ Penn and Frankie Edgar. They'll fight at 145 in April. BJ at 145...well then.
Randy Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Is there anybody that is interested in seeing that fight again?
hammerva Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 They must really think the Rousey/Tate Ultimate Fighter is going to do great business to put on such average coaches on the next one. I thought BJ Penn was going to retire.
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 There aren't too many compelling pairings UFC could do if they have to start taping in late October.
glfpunk Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 I like the idea of BJ at 145. Not any way he's going to beat Edgar but it will be interesting anyway.
TheVileOne Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Not really crazy about that match-up especially when Penn is 0-2 against Edgar. Seems like a waste of a fight for Edgar at featherweight.
epwar Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 It is sad seeing all the folks on the UG get hyped for BJ's return. This isn't 2009 anymore.
keith_h Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Honestly all I can think is "at least another title won't be on hold for TUF." Don't really care who the coaches are, TUF has been stale for years now. I'd rather not have anyone relevant on hold for 9 months due to the stupid show.
glfpunk Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 I enjoy TUF but fully agree on the point of view being glad a title won't be on hold. I can't stand when they hold up the division with champions coaching TUF. I know they want stars on that show to attempt to bring in ratings but those coaching spots should be reserved mainly for top contenders looking to get a title shot or grudge match type fights. Yeah I've seen Edgar/Penn before but I'm not going to cry about them fighting again at a different weight. At least it's a decent matchup. Edgar will win but at least there's the illusion of a fairly equal matchup unlike BJ fighting someone like Rory or Nick Diaz. If BJ wants to keep fighting I think this is the best route.
Fat Spanish Waiter Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 The Ronda Rousey show is dying wooo.
Charlie M. Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 My only interest in BJ Penn would be if he got really fat again like when he fought Machida. His fat head is telling his body to let go. 1

smitlick Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 So was I the only one that didnt know WSOF was running a show today? I honestly didnt have a clue till I see the Picks Thread.
epwar Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 The WSOF card just delivered one of the greatest all time comedy KOs. Ric Flair-esque! 2
epwar Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Here it is if you want to see it: Derrick Mehman KOs Rolles Gracie 2
TheVileOne Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Was that not a perfect example of a Stand & Wang performance? 1
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Rolles Gracie has to retire after that. If not, every MMA regulatory body has to bar him from active competition.
The Natural Posted September 15, 2013 Author Posted September 15, 2013 Here it is if you want to see it: Derrick Mehman KOs Rolles Gracie Haw Haw. Reminds me of Paul Buentello's KO against Justin Eilers at UFC 51: Super Saturday.
LethalStriker Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Arlovski vs. Kyle was WSOF's main event and it only being a 3 Rounder was kind of lame. I know it's not a title fight but you can't have in this day and age one of your main events only being 3 rounds.
Zero Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Really? That being a 3 round fight bothered you? 3
epwar Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Bunch of new fights Fight for the Troops card: -Derek Brunson vs. Antonio Neto -Yves Edwards vs. Yancy Medeiros The Belfort/Henderson card:-Godfredo Pepey vs. Sam Sicilia -Paulo Thiago vs. Brandon Thatch And the Aussie card:-Clint Hester vs. Dylan Andrews -Soa Paleilei vs. Pat Barry 1
LethalStriker Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 TJ Grant won't be cleared to fight in time for his proposed December title shot against Pettis. So does UFC try to find a completely different main event or just simply try to find a different opponent for Pettis now? The only avaliable fighter coming off a big win I can think of that doesnt already have a fight scheduled is Josh Thomson, but that's only a 1 win streak.
