    lol 41 year old USADA Carwin would probably have trouble with the guy Ngannou beat Saturday

    Brendan Schaub should come back and get knocked out by him. HW is the only division where Carwin might actually find success. Anybody can knockout Bigfoot or Arlovski right now and at least get a name on their record.

    Schaub and Carwin are long time training partners and Schaub is probably never coming back to MMA.

    You're probably right though, anyone with power could come in and have success against Bigfoot. Mighty Mouse would knock Bigfoot out cold in like 10 seconds, that guy is still in the UFC because he has a name and they don't want him headlining the next Bellator event against Fedor, Mitrione or whoever.

    Yeah, i know Schaub is t-shirt mogul now. Sticking to his s--- podcast, s--- show, and s--- standup. Can't believe those guys have fans, but I guess anything is possible when Joe Rogan gives you a career. Bigfoot is still probably more dangerous than half the HWs in the division. Just thin as h---. Ngannou is the only dude under 30 with any merit and he turns 30 in a couple of months. Hard division to fill.

    Sounds like Bigfoot vs Nelson is gonna go down on that September 24th Brazil card. Bigfoot should have retired after the Struve fight smh. Also supposedly Mousasi vs Belfort is going down at UFC 204 which is supposed to be in Manchester on October 8th and will be headlined by Bisping/Hendo. Basically insurance for old man Hendo.

    Anyways Invicta tomorrow. Couple of the better fights fell through last minute. Irena Aldana was supposed to fight 13-0 Brazilian BW Talia Santos and Niedzwiedz was supposed to fight 6-0 Brazilian FLW Claudia Rey, both of the Brazilian girls had Visa issues.

    [​IMG]

    Grasso has been injury plagued this last year and a half or so. Back when the UFC was all in on the Mexico expansion (before Cain ruined that) they were hyping her pretty hard and Aldana as well (although to a lesser extent).



    UFC needs to take girls like Grasso, Aldana and Evinger off Invicta's hands and send them some of their weaker fighters (like they are doing with Jessamyn Duke)

    Always enjoy Invicta cards. Sucks Aldana is off though I mostly remember her from looking like this.


    Invicta is the best farm system the UFC has. Glad they're letting some talent grow down there.

    I thought he retired because of back injuries?

    Yup something like that. Probably figures he could just do a bare minimum training camp and roll into the octagon and still KO somebody and collect a check.

    Anyways WSOF Tomorrow night. I know i mentioned Darrion Caldwell possibly being the best P4P fighter outside of the UFC (prior to the historic upset) but Moraes could also make that claim. This is the last fight on his WSOF so hopefully he wins and then comes over to the UFC immediately.

    I did lol at the "brother fight" that nobody cares about. Reminds me of when s--- tier organizations were trying to book Frank & Ken Shamrock to fight. I guess they are adopted just like Ken and Frank.

    Ben also goes by "Phoenix Jones" and i guess thinks hes like a crime fighter and dresses up in a costume. In other words hes just another freak show like Nick Newell was.

    Might remember him from his viral video a few years back.

    I missed the first couple of fights, but it was an awesome card from what I saw.
    That said, that Megan Anderson matchup was egregious. She'll probably feel the same way versus Cyborg.

    Ferg should be pissed. He's the one who should have a shot. Khabib should be fighting Barboza for shot after. RDA should rebound against the winner of Poirier-Johnson.

    WW thoughts:
    - Is it inappropriate/cruel to want Lawler to cap off his title reign with a Nick rematch?
    - Woodley vs WB plz and then Maia/Condit winner gets next shot
    - Give Rory a step down for once in Gastelum
    - Matt Brown vs Cowboy???
    - Hold off on GSP and give him the MW shot assuming Bisping beats Hendo, cos f--- it, I want some 2-division champs. Soz ALL LEGIT MW CONTENDERS
