yeah aldo seemed to be saying the same stuff conor said in brazil, the 2nd part with the Q&A with the irish fighters at least had decent questions for the fighters when all the bandwagoners left after conor

haha yeah there was actually a few brazilians asking questions, fair play having the balls to get up

Dennis Bermudez vs Jeremy Stephens was announced for UFC 189 yesterday, should be funny to hear Conor chirp at Bermudez since he said he was gonna run him out of the division before Lamas whooped him in Mexico.

Couple other fights announced

Albert Tumenov vs Hector Urbina added to UFC 188, Norman Parke vs Gilbert Burns added to UFC FN:Condit/Alves in Brazil and Sean Strickland vs Igor Araujo added to San Diego FN in July. Also Patricio Pitbull will defend his Bellator FW belt against Georgi Karakhanyan in the co main event of Kimbo vs Shamrock.

Jordan Mein vs Brandon Thatch added to UFC 189. Wouldnt be surprised if that fight and the Bermudez/Stephens fight are both on the televised prelims if the card is at all similar to UFC 187. Then again they have 4 cards going on in that week span.

 

Apr 1, 2015

Also Gunnar Nelson vs John Hathaway UFC 189 as well.

Abel Trujillo out of his fight with John Makdessi in Montreal, Shane Campbell .

Might remember Campbell as the Houduken guy from the WSOF show in February

 

Apr 2, 2015

Apparently it's Brandon Thatch vs John Howard instead

 

Apr 2, 2015

Ya was gonna post that, didnt want to quadruple post though lol. Thatch vs Mein would have been better.

Also Dennis Siver vs Tatsuya Kawajiri + Niklas Backstrom vs Noad Lahat added too Berlin card and Frank Mir vs Todd Duffee is being targeted for a UFC summer event.

 

Apr 4, 2015

Apparently Big Nog vs Struve is being targeted for the Rhonda/Betch card in Rio. Wonder if they do the Dillashaw/Barao rematch on that card as well.

 

Apr 5, 2015

Lmao



"The lads...Go on the lads... fat virgins every single one of them ya"

They probably will, seeing as they really got a trend going with double booked title fights.

But they may just stick with Ronda/Bethe seeing as Ronda is definently a proven draw with UFC 184

 

Apr 6, 2015

10 weight classes and 14 ppv max per year, should and likely will keep it to 12. so there is no reason you couldn't do 2 title fights on every card. but of course outside of mighty mouse and ronda, it appears as though every other champion had to pull out due to an injury at some point over the last year or 2.

An article on MT stances, if anyone's into that sort of thing. Common sense and basic, but it's nice to just see it all written out like that. More or less goes the same for MMA obviously.

 

Apr 6, 2015

Apr 7, 2015

Rampage not allowed to fight at UFC 186, according to Ariel Helwani

 

Apr 7, 2015

Yeah looks like bellator won the injunction
Who'll be co main now? Bisping-Dollaway?

 

Apr 7, 2015

Have to assume they have some type of back up plan, knowing this was possible.

Hope its not cherry picking a fight off another card like the Fox show. Could see them grabbing Pat Cummins vs OSP. Still, Rampage was selling this PPV. This will probably do worse numbers then 174, which had Mighty Mouse vs Bagautinov and Rory vs Woodley.

 

Apr 7, 2015

Bendo asking on the card of course at 170 and Masvidal wants the fight.

 

Apr 7, 2015

Poirier vs Yancy official for the NOLA card. Mike Swick returning at UFC 189, as well

 

Apr 7, 2015

Suprised cowboy didn't try take up bensons offer again

But they need to pull off something and try and add a decent enough fight to try and save this card, on paper it looks more like a fight night than a ppv

 

Apr 7, 2015

Medeiros vs Poirier is gonna be sweet. Both are well rounded.







Also Alex Garcia is probably gonna KO Swick, dudes chin is shot and Garcia throws bombs.

 

Apr 7, 2015

we need more fighters like Bendo. Any time any where. A card needs saving they step up like a boss and issue an open challenge. f---in awesome.
