Dana White and the 7 dwarfs?

 

[McBain]

Sounds like the UFC are trying to make some big fights for UFC 227....

TJ vs Cody is already announced
GSP Vs Nate Diaz at 155
Rockhold Vs Gus at 205

 

[PermaChanged]

GSP vs Diaz is just to decide Connors next fight at 155lb surely?

conor who??? He's been gone that long I've literally no interest in his next fight. 18 Months since his last fight in UFC -

this, although Conor will still draw a reasonably big crowd, that crowd will be pretty small compared to what it would have been if he fought Tony or Nergermeraheragerheragov Khabib several months ago
the UFC needs to find a new cash cow, they kinda tried a bit by hyping up Darren Till, be he's nothing special, just watch his last couple of fights and you'l see that.
UFC needs some Undefeated Ben Askren V's GSP action going on imo, now thats a fight that deserves some hype!

 

[McBain]

Askren isn't a needle mover and never has been, probably why he's never fought in the UFC.

 

[PermaChanged]

You've got to remember the UFC is a business at the end of the day, the only real motivator they have is to make money - Conor makes them money like no other, regardless of which way you slice it.

Our own personal opinion of Conor has no relevance on that unfortunately.

Yair Rodriguez cut for refusing to accept fights

[McBain]

Strange move from the UFC given he's an exciting fighter and an avenue into the Mexican market..... plenty of fighters have turned own fights in the past, so why kick Yair out? Can't blame him, I wouldn't want to fight Magomedisharipovanavratilova either

 

[Morve]

Bad move by the ufc, the guy has a lot of potential, exciting and unpredictable

 

[esoteric]

Dern weighed in nearly 8lbs over, 30% fine and the fight is still on.

 

[McBain]

8 pounds what an absolute disgrace, they need to start increasing fines or make it proportional to how much the fighter misses by.

It's borderline cheating, she is fighting in an entirely different weight class. 3 missed weights in 7 bouts, just move up ffs.

How can I watch Bellator 200 in the UK? I know someone fighting in the prelims

I don’t think you can watch Bellator live in the UK on TV or online through the Bellator website.

You can use a VPN though and watch it on the Bellator US site.

 

[nemtizz]

Wow, Machida.

 

[Quinnaay]

Wow machida back with a bang. He's been watching highlights of the spider after that one lol. Shame Belfort when not on roids just can't compete.

 

[Kris_90]

I hope Vitor goes to Rizen or Bellator where the drug testing is less stringent. I've never liked the thought of an 'enhanced' division but I want to see TRT Vitor again

 

[Amnesia]

if the girl wants to quit then let her quit...what people to have in your corner

 

[Morve]

Felt bad for vitor going out on his final fight like that, he's always been my favourite fighter sinse i saw ufc 12, good wins for gastelum and nunes

 

[McBain]

UFC

Beautiful finish from Machida, kinda sad to see Belfort go out like that but let’s be honest his career has gone on 2/3 fights too long.

Gutted that cheat Mckenzie won…..

Good win for Kelvin, he should really try and sort his diet out as he's always at a disadvantage in size at 85. 170 is where he should be fighting, it's a credit to his ability that he's top 2/3 at middleweight.

Nasty looking leg for Pennington, she looked pretty much completely outclassed which isn’t a surprise. Poor from her corner basically pushing her back into the fight when she was mentally done.

Going to watch Bellator tomorrow night.
