Guest Edwin Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Did a quick Google search and DJ apparently did say he was pretty sure his next title defense would be against Kyoji.
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 The weird thing is Dodson is part Filipino and actually back in the gym. I guess he is still in the rehab stage.
Guest Edwin Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Went to the FCF card in Orlando a couple of weeks ago. A local fighter named Mitchell Chamale fought on the card and pulled off a sick guillotine choke on another local fighter called Charles Kessinger. Chamale seems like quite the prospect with a solid 7-2 record. Here's a video of it:
Guest Edwin Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Wanderlei is supposedly transitioning to wrestling and will have a match with Phil Baroni in IGF on the 20th. Makes perfect sense as Wanderlei was in Japan at INOKI BOM-BA-YE on NYE and Baroni tweeted a while ago he was offered a fight with Wanderlei in Japan.
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Minotauro is replacing Anderson Silva on TUF Brazil 4. 1
epwar Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Ah, the patented Dana/Zuffa "we stand behind the guy/you're gone" swerve.
TheVileOne Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 UFC is claiming NSAC requested Silva not be allowed to coach on the show because they are regulating the exhibition fights. Probably the PR answer, make of it what you will.
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 They are filming now so you really can't get into a squabble about the coaches. If they were filming in Brazil, I doubt CABMMA would step in and do anything.
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani 1h According to NAC, since u need a license to corner a fighter (TUF or not) & Silva is going to be temp suspended 2/17, AS had to be pulled.
Kevin Wilson Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I'm not sure where to put this question - but is the UFC Magazine worth getting? I was considering joining the "Fight Club" to get an early release on tickets, but would only do it if there was some value in the other 'stuff' that comes with it. Most is pretty self explanatory but I've never heard anyone ever talk about the Magazine so I wasn't sure if it was worth anything.
Zero Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 https://twitter.com/arielhelwani/status/565116221360988160 Rory/Hector off card. Johnson x Kyoji Horiguchi is new co-main.
epwar Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 So does this mean Jones/Johnson isn't going on May 23 and we'll get Lawler/Rory instead?
epwar Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Hector Lombard tweeted that he didn't even know his fight had been cancelled.
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 So does this mean Jones/Johnson isn't going on May 23 and we'll get Lawler/Rory instead? Yeah, I would wait until all this gets sorted out. Weidman/Belfort still needs a new home.
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Putting this thread out to pasture and opening up a new one.
