Feijao is not a bad opponent. His last fight was beating down Igor Pokrajac.
He sort of is. His best win is probably King Mo, which says a lot. He has a reputation that is pretty much built on nothing.
But he is not given that Cormier's best LHW win is Pat Cummins.
That's why he is fighting Cormier.

BTW, this is actually directed by the guy who did Battle: Los Angeles and Wrath of the Titans. The trailer doesn't look bad to me, but Liebesman can bring the suck and utter disappointment to the big screen.

It's not final yet. They're looking at Woodley vs. MacDonald at UFC 174 and Maia vs. Pierce on the May 31 Brazil show too.

Sergio Pettis vs. Yaotzin Meza booked for UFC Fight Night 43 in Albuquerque http://dlvr.it/5FBWgq via @MMAjunkie

Looks like John Dodson will face John Moraga at UFC Fight Night on June 7 in Albuquerque.

They got rid of the wrong part of the title. The Thracian Wars is better than just Hercules. It looks really, really average to me.

Who's complaining? It sounds like an awful idea, and it is. They could end up making it and churning out a classic, for all I know. I doubt it, but anything's possible.
You said they would drop it if people said it was a bad idea. In this very same thread, YOU ASKED if people knew there was a Scarface remake in the works. Apparently, you thought no one knew about it. So how can Universal drop it if people aren't talking about? Shit, they've had people working on it for at least 3 years.
-
Honestly, for all the fuss, I can't see this coming to pass. It'll be like the announced Lethal Weapon reboot or the Whedon-less Buffy movie that got reported on a while back. Enough people will point out it's a terrible idea and eventually it will be dropped.
How can you complain about it if you don't know about it?
-
Didn't they already remake Scarface anyway? It was called Breaking Bad and actually way smarter.
No.
Die Hard being PG-13 doesn't shock me. Not in the least bit. Hollywood has shown us over the last twenty plus years how easy it would be to do a PG-13 Die Hard.
-
Yeah, that's not happening.
-
Hercules with The Rock will be a fun Redbox rental or possible Netflix viewing.
Scarface cannot be remade. I mean, it can but it has no shot of succeeding. The movie despite its flaws is fucking iconic.
It's not a remake just like '83 version wasn't a remake of the the '32 version. It's about Mexican drug cartels. They're just recycling the name like De Palma did.

I could've sworn he did at least a couple.
Simmons probably isn't an MMA fan, because he tends to wear his loves on his sleeve and he's never talked about MMA. I'd bet it was just decided that MMA wasn't worth covering on Grantland.
Plus, you have to wonder about UFC being on Fox and how maybe ABC/ESPN/Grantland might not want to promote it.
I don't think it's that since ESPN has boxing (there is a "World Heavyweight" title bout in primetime on main ESPN coming up), and Grantland has jackshit on boxing. Plus, Simmons talks boxing (Floyd, Pac, and Triple G at least) way more than MMA.
Sure sportswriters know Manny and Floyd, along with most of the world, but aside from that, I think they would struggle to name 5 other current boxers. I wouldn't consider that to mean they have any any knowledge of hockey whatsoever. I mean, I know who Ryan Braun and David Ortiz are, but I haven't watched baseball since the late 90's.
I don't think that's really the issue since boxing has experienced quite a resurgence in television ratings in the last 2 1/2 years. Add in the fact that two Floyd bouts did 3.1 million buys in a calendar year while WWE did around 3.2 million. The talent is definitely out there and better than half the crap currently on Grantland. The guys from The Cruelest Sports will probably do it for free. Given the quality of the stuff I've read on Grantland, I am perfectly fine with those guys staying where they are.
I can't be bothered to comment on that list because, content aside, the font color gives me a headache.

Can you be bothered now?
Actually, yes. Thank you.
I don't recognize an awful lot of those names. However, I do remember Scott Christ, who once stated he didn't like joshi because of the "yellow bitches dropping each other on their heads."
Hopefully, this is the same Scott Christ of Bad Left Hook who I follow on Twitter. He doesn't like many things. Quite a sourpuss.

Did anyone else know they were remaking Scarface? Apparently Russell Crowe was up for the lead, but now they want to go with a Latino actor.
Yeah since I brought up the idea of an Adolfo Constanzo/Sara Aldrete type movie when Yates was announced as the director.
-
I don't get enough credit for a lot of things.
-
This may or may not be good news, but Michael Green (Heroes, Green Lantern) is rewriting the script that Jack Paglen (who wrote Transcendence) penned. Green is also suppose to write the Blade Runner sequel.
Now something I know is definitely bad news.....
-
June in the UFC is the August of professional boxing. It wouldn't be the first time a UFC PPV in June has gotten screwed over. Every June PPV in the TUF era has stunk when it came to star power and card depth.
-
He said it himself that it was between Mendes and Swanson and now just Mendes since Cub was given a fight already. I don't think he has any illusions of any other options on the table.
-
Aldo is already training so I guess they would have contacted him by now. It doesn't sound like he is too keen on a rematch from an interview I've read, but he is not in a position to negotiate since 169 was far from gangbusters in terms of buys.
-
Can Renan Barao vs. Raphael Assuncao make this card?
I intentionally left that out. You don't go to the MGM with that fight. Hell, you would do that at the Marquee ballroom inside the hotel. I know Aldo and Barao are the same level of draw, but Barao/Assuncao is a fight you do in Northeast Brazil on FS1.
-
Aldo/Mendes II since JDS trains at Nova Uniao would make the most sense, but they probably would have announced that bout already if it was happening.
-
Dos Santos/Miocic (or any replacement bout) isn't a big enough co-main event to being doing all that. They need the help in May when everyone has spent their money on Pac/Bradley II and Mayweather/Maidana. Cotto/Martinez is two later weeks after 173.
-
...Weidman just hurt his knee. MY BAD YALL
The bout is being moved to the July 5th show. New main event will be announced soon.
