Card is alright. Weak main event but other fights are good.
Spencer Fisher vs. Frankie Edgar Houston Alexander vs. Thiago Silva David Terrell vs. Ed Herman Karo Parisyan is also fighting Hector Lombard |
all of those are rumored tho not confirmed.... actually andrei told me that the ufc is still 50-50 with him fighting nogiera in nov.
I know the websites say nog is fighting kongo but andrei said kongo has a shoulder injury so i dunno |
name dropper
:foc: :( |
no im not... thats what he fuckin told me. id say hes a 10x better source than any website they have out there other than ufc.com
|
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand i just looked at ufc.com and the card is announced.... welp.... looks like hes not fighting nog anytime soon :-\

And the Nog thing is a load of shit because they want him next for Couture if they can't get Fedor by November. |
I'm gunna predict that UFC are really close to signing Fedor and Fedor will face Randy in January.
( and i'll cream my pants from the moment its announced to the moment it ends ) |
Hey if UFC is just gunna pay people for Huerta to kick the shit out of for a round. I'm available and cheap. Call me.
|
And before anyone tried to tell me Guida will be a challenge..just fuck off pls.

Arlovski isn't fighting until he signs a new contract. If he doesn't sign, they'll finish his contract with a undercard fight against a nobody.
RP - You think Guida isn't a challenge? You are having a bubble mate. Huerta hasn't fought close to the level of fighter Guida has. |
Sweet Bejesus, the price for these tickets for UFC 78 are ridiculously high....but probably worth it
|
if by undercard you mean a match not shown on the televised card then you are nuts. His contract has him in all main card fights until it runs out.
|
Got tickets, going to UFC 78

Fedor signed with M1 or whatever that new MMA promotion is called.
Pretty fuckin gay |
yea andrei told me that today... that gives him good barganing power with the UFC now.
Plus I see Randy not fighting again. Theres no reason to now. He would either fight Vera or Sylvia. Theres no shame in losing to Fedor, but he might just retire champion now. Hes making so much money with all his gyms and the movie deal for the new scorpion king movie apparently that he doesnt need the money. |
I think you'll see Randy go against Nog or one more with Sylvia, and then whatever happens he retires after that.
|
lol guess again
|
Well...Randy has announced his retirement, or "resignation" actually. Story Here.
Sounds like he left on pretty nasty terms. I wonder if he'll wind up going to M-1 eventually for a fight with Fedor. |

Glad to see Dana's comments were all positive. Reading that makes me think that Dana might be able to get Randy to come back for an analyst role or some sort of special appearance. when I say analyst, I don't mean for a career, but at a major event or the like.
|
...I was going to say he should hold a retirement ceremony for Randy but that might not be wise, because Randy may have a desire to fight again in the future.

Dana needs to step back and become more professional. As much as he thinks it is, his demographic is not 18-35. At my wrestling facility, there is classes with kids that are in junior high and elementary school and many of them dont miss anything that has to do with ufc. When the kids want to horse around with the jujitsu or strikijng they dont say "lets do mma" they say "ufc me." Dana has made the sport main stream. Everyone at least knows what it is. However he is probably one of the most unprofessional presidents of any company anywhere.
As a face of a company like UFC, you cannot be seen on TV swearing and talking like a punk kid from boston. At first it was funny and entertaining, but that cant continue. I believe that the failure to sign a deal with HBO and a contract with Fedor falls primarily on dana White's shoulders. You cant discuss dealings with other parties publically especially when nothing has been worked out to begin with, and then go on to bash who ever backs out of a possable deal or doesnt do what dana wants. (i.e. His comments on wanderlei silva after he opted to fight in november rather than september with chuck and his current comments on Fedor after he signed with M-1). An executive of a company needs to do be democratic enough to do what is best for the entire company. The problem seems to be that Dana has started to develop the personality of many of his fighters in terms of how he does business. It looks as if he thinks noone can compete with him, and if you dont want to be here then we dont need you and you will be nothing. Or even not letting guys fight in the UFC because of personal conflicts fighters that have nothing to do with their fighting ability or performance. Along with keeping guys off camera that seem to have "boring" fights are all huge mistakes being made by Dana White and Zuffa. I really think that Dana could really end up biting himself in the ass, because if other companies such as M-1 find a way to offer fighters more money or treat them better, then we could start to see a lot more fighters start to jump ship FAST! |
I think that White has the same problem a lot of businessmen do, where they only think in terms of money. Whats going to happen eventually, is solid fighters are gonna take a pay cut for better treatment and more opportunity elsewhere. That, in turn, is going to build up other promotions with better fighters putting on better fights. And, when all is said and done, it was the "money first" philosophy that is going to set UFC back financially long term.
They are the biggest promotion, but they aren't the only promotion and if somewhere else is going to provide better treatment, people are going to start making the jump. |
Rumors are saying Ricardo Arona has signed with M-1.
|
same rumors are saying hes fighting fedor too...... RIP ricardo
|
That is a HUGE fight for that company. If they can keep up at this pace they are going to give UFC a little competition.
|
They aren't any competition. UFC is MMA right now. Sucks that Randy Couture has gone but oh well. They built a franchise after he quit the last time. And he might feel a little stupid when Fedor ends up in the UFC after all this.
|
that depends on what american bought M-1
|
plus if UFC doesnt bargain with andrei, he could end up there too
|
UFC needs to becareful a little bit here..not signing Fedor, Couture retiring, Lidell and Ortiz 2 of their biggest draws are on a downslide..not the brightest it's been in awhile.

Vera says he'd kill Arlovski. He told me this morning over tea and crumpets. |

On another note, I think Vera is going to get manhandled by Sylvia. |
Actually my last comment wasnt fair to say. I think Vera will do good in the opening round, finding his reach earlier and staying away from Sylvia. However, I dont see Vera hurting Sylvia, even though he has good feet/hands/knees. Then Sylvia will find his reach late in the 2nd, early in the 3rd and put him down.
They will start with hands, then trade kicks to see who is better. Knee's will be last resort to either fighter. I know a lot of people dont like Tim because of his slow methodical style, but it wins fights. |
I didn't say they were competition at this time. But they are certainly putting something good together it would seem. And sometime down the road they are going to be knocking on UFC's door.
