Craig H Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Does Hunt still have a lawsuit against UFC or is he still threatening one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 Yeah, there is definitely a lawsuit going on. Hunt plans on fighting out his deal and leaving, hence, why he isn't just inactive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail Sabin Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I know I'm going with Yoel in the main event but not sure which way I'm going in the co main event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Perth looks the exact opposite of say....Buffalo last April for DC/Rumble part two. I would find any excuse to either fight or corner someone in Perth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Good on Tai Tuivasa to make it to the main card! Hopefully he pulls off a win for his kinda sorta hometown crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 So Rockhold is saying that he may be moving up a weight class in the immediate future, and Romero has to lose three and a half pounds within a couple hours or else I assume even if he wins the fight he can't win the interim interim title (I know it's not really the interim x2 title). Perhaps middleweight just is destined to not have a champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 He came in at 187.7 pounds on his second pounds and officially missed weight. How does an Olympic silver medalist miss weight for the biggest fight of his career? Fucking unprofessional tool-bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Rockhold agreed to take the fight and the title is only at stake for Rockhold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Execproducer Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Just the title? Does he not forfeit 30% of his purse to Rockhold? I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere. For pay-per-view main event money that would have to hurt a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 They had to renegotiate the fight, so chances are UFC had to grease Rockhold's palm. It's not clear how much of Romero's purse he received. I don't think the Australian commission has to reveal that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Please bring in hydration testing. This current system is neither safe for the fighters or good for the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 The fine is 30% of Romero's purse per MMAJunkie's report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
