Nothing about Rory signing with Bellator in here? If they offered Cowboy $350k, I wonder how much he's getting. Hopefully Koreshkov doesn't delete his nose again.

I wanna know how much money Rory got as well, because UFC refused to match

^2 posts up @Charlie. Also supposedly Bellator denied offering him that. Cowboy is probably worth more to Bellator then Rory, hes a bigger name and can fight in multiple divisions and basically save any card when an injury pops up as hes always ready to fight. I'd probably say the same about him in the UFC compared to Rory, super valuable guy to have on your roster. I think UFC matches anything hes offered. Im interested in what Lorenz Larkin gets, UFC buried him on Fight Pass against a tough dude in his final fight for a reason.

I don't think it's even up for debate that Cowboy is worth more than Rory, though maybe Bellator values access to Canada despite him not being a superstar or anything.

Gunnar Nelson vs Dong Hyun Kim is the first fight announced for the November 19th Belfast show. Also Mirsad Bektic is back at UFC 204 after ACL surgery and will fight Arnold Allen.

Just got 4th row floor for UFC Portland.

Was not surprised with the Rory news. His stock is on the decline in the WW division, especially after his nose covering performance against Wonderboy. He looked like a shell of himself. Hope he kicks a--- over there.

Cowboy just signed a new 8 fight deal with the UFC.

 

Aug 25, 2016

He's still only 27, maybe he does well and eventually makes it back to the UFC.

Mike Perry gets quick return against Danny Roberts at UFC 204.

Anyways Bendo is back at 155 tonight taking on former Bellator FW champ. Matchup is random as f---, but Bendo needs this one bad.

That Bellator card was a disaster. Will only watch for Koreshkov and Rory going forward.

There are plenty of fighter worth watching, but that card made me want to puke watching it this morning. Not even just the bad fights, but the MVP interview and them trotting Rory out was just cringe city.

Also the new obsession with Bellator running back Chandler/Alvarez 1 highlights (now that Eddie is champ) and them acting like Will Brooks never existed bothers me.

Had flashbacks of Bonnar/Tito

d---, Maia's career resurgence is f---ing legit. Happy for him. I don't think it's a coincidence that he's been looking better in the USADA era, either. Pettis finally patched up some of the holes in his game. No clue why he didn't do that 2 fights ago, but good on him. Hopefully his size at featherweight helps him prevent the wrestlefuck going forward. I don't think he can rise to the top in that shark tank of a division, but his career has definitely been saved. Paige looked like hot dogshit until her meme kick landed. The jab she kept feinting from 3 feet away and doing nothing with was embarrassing. Not a good sign for her moving forward. Miller and Lauzon was close. They both came out winners tbh. Glad it wasn't a one sided and sad affair for either man. I guess being a Diego fan has me worried about the future of guys like them. When the drop off comes it's brutal.

So the media scores for Lauzon-Miller are kind of ridiculous. I thought it was a competitive fight, but I scored the first two rounds for Miller tentatively on my first watch and now with conviction upon revisiting it. Miller was outclassing him on the feet, landing hard a--- shots on Lauzon during almost every exchange. Lauzon would get dominant position during the grappling exchanges, but Miller was doing a great job hand fighting and deflecting blows. Even in the third where Lauzon clearly did enough on the ground to win the round, that round began with Miller almost finishing him. The media acting like this is a travesty is absurd, especially the guys crazy enough to score it 30-27 for Lauzon. That's batshit crazy. I've used media scores as a good reference before but they just lost a lot of credibility. I feel like the first 10 posted started an echo chamber or something.

This guy is gonna get knocked tf out.

 

Aug 29, 2016

UFC's facebook had a live video of him training today and yeah I'm not too optimistic after watching. I know they were only sparring so it's hard to tell, but his stand up game and punches didn't look all that good.

Hope Punk doesn't embarrass himself, but I'm leaning towards a 1st round victory for Gall right now. I'd love if Punk somehow won though.

 

Aug 29, 2016

Yeah kinda expected since he just started picking up the sport a year or 2 ago. He's got no wrestling, judo, or kickboxing matches, and he expects to compete in the UFC? All the power to him if he pulls it out, but I think he's gonna get steamrolled by Gall.

Nice



Also Rory Mac is saying he wants to let his nose heal completely and debut in Summer 2017. Doubt he waits that long though, my guess would be early Spring.

Couple more fights added to the Manila card, Seo Hee Ham vs Danielle Taylor and Cole Miller vs Mizuto Hirota.
