Seems a big cut for Diego

His brawling style just doesn't cut it anymore, the smarter fighter will always beat him

Couple things from UFC Tonight.

-Lawler vs Condit official for UFC 183
-Hendricks vs Woodley official for UFC 192
-Al Iaquinta needs knee surgery, out for 6 months
-Khabib pushes back return date from October to December
-Eddie Gordon dropping to WW
-Martin Kampmann is stepping down as head coach at Team Alpha Male, by the end of the year

I don't know why Urijah just doesn't take over as head coach since he runs everybody off

 

Aug 5, 2015

Probably will when he ends up retiring.

Speaking of Kampmann, Ariel just confirmed via Twitter that he's officially done fighting

Ronda/Betch individual weigh in video over 6.2 million viewers on YT



Also bestfightodds just put up Ronda/Cyborg odds. Ronda is a -400 favorite.

 

Aug 6, 2015

-Joe Riggs vs Ron Stallings and Andre Fili vs Clay Collard added to UFC 191
-Anthony Hamilton vs Derrick Lewis added to UFC 192
-Gilbert Burns vs Rashid Magomedov added to UFC FN:Brazil
-Efrain Escudero added to UFC FN:Mexico

Really looking forward to that Magedov/Burns match up. One of the best Brazilian prospects fighting arguably the best Russian prospect. Surprised they made the fight actually.

Kampmann isn't going to coach at all? I know he retired from fighting and is coaching. Also, I thought Duane Ludwig was the head coach at Alpha Male?

 

Aug 6, 2015

Who knows with Kampmann, supposedly he just wanted to move out of the Sacramento area.

As for Ludwig he moved to Colorado and started his own gym about a year ago. Dillashaw still flies out there to train with him but spends the majority of his camp with TAM.

Ludwig is hated by the majority of TAM after saying TJ was the only one who trains there that wants to be a champ.

fascinating stuff.

So Cowboy Stadium is out of the mix. Aldo/McGregor will apparently be in Vegas on December 12th. Rousey/Tate 3 and Weidman/Rockhold are more then likely going down in Vegas on January 2nd.

Also the UFC is apparently going with a Cain/Werdum rematch, which might happen on the Aldo/McGregor card.

 

Aug 10, 2015

fyi 189 is already on fightpass

 

Aug 11, 2015

Rick Story out of his August 23rd fight with Erick Silva, Neil Magny will replace him.

Bummer was looking forward to that one, still a pretty decent replacement though.

 

Aug 11, 2015

Looks like Josh Thomson is gonna end up signing with Bellator.

Aug 13, 2015

-UFC has confirmed the Werdum/Cain rematch, date is TBA but t could co main Aldo/McGregor
-Stipe Miocic vs Ben Rothwell will co main Dublin card
-Dos Anjos vs Cerrone 2 will headline the December 19th FOX card in Orlando

 

Aug 13, 2015

Silva suspended for a year (aka until February) and fined $380k

 

Aug 13, 2015

I could see Werdum knocking out Cain late in the fight, sea-level or otherwise if they go again. They should give Cain a fight to adjust and get back into things. As a general rule, I hate immediate rematches. Not really fair to the champion (borders on disrespectful), the challenger (no time to shore up skills/gameplan), fans (deprived of other matchups), or the division (logjam).
