Arlovski is looking to get back into the UFC for a title run if he gets past Rumble. I gotta say this fight interests me.

Also Arlovski has no chance in the current Ultimate. I can't think of anyone but Mir that would be a good stylistic fight for him.

Struve. See which glass jaw breaks on contact.

I would be fine with letting Arlovski and Struve swing wildly at one another until one of them get's KO'd in Round one.

 

[GungHo]

I know. That's why my idea is purely for low level fighters. It ignores the high-profile aspects of career/legacy-minded fighters and the baggage and financials that go with them.

Basically go up to Jacksons, AKA, Blackzillians, etc and say "what entry-level guys have you got that you think have potential?" Focus on a core set of weight classes, and put it together from there. It's Bad MMA, but at least there's a structure, with the system basically focused on filling a hole left by the demise of Strikeforce Challengers and ProElite. Add a reality TV show to it to get some exposure, run it for one season and see where it goes.

This was the IFL concept.

It was where we got Chris Horodeki, Jay Hieron, Krzysztof Soszynski, Ben Rothwell, Dan Miller, Jake Ellenburger, Sam Hoger, Roy Nelson, Tim Kennedy, Vladimir Matyushenko, and the rapist Mike Whitehead.

GSP about to come on Jay Mohr sports radio show. Should be funny because Jay tries to act like he knows about MMA but doesn't know shit about it and asks stupid questions.

Last time Dana was on he asked him why he makes weed illegal. Last time Faber was on after his win, he asked Faber who he would rather fight next and said he should fight Cruz because it looks like he could handle Barao easily. Derp.

Joe Rogan Experience with Bas Rutten

Bas mentioned that fight he wanted with Wanderlei in PRIDE was supposed to be on a NYE card under an early form of UK-1 rules. 4 oz. gloves, no takedowns. Damn that would've been a fun one.

I enjoy watching combat sports. Since my only exposure to kickboxing has been Glory NYE 2012 and Overeem K-1 highlights, where would you suggest an enthusiast such as myself get his fix of this glorious sport?

Watch this fight, one of the best fightd ever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvlFoQTse8s

"Fraud? I’m not the one that hides behind a weight class that she knows I can’t make. Meet me at 140 lbs, then ask her if I’m a fraud after I knock her ass out! Obviously she knows that she can’t compete with me – take the time, maybe [Ronda] will get good enough and gain some confidence. Until then … I am the best and do not want to talk about hypotheticals. I fight in Invicta and I’m proud to be helping save women's MMA." - Cristiane Santos via TMZ

Cristiane Justino née "Cyborg" Santos (that name got Evangelista's daddy's blood on it) speaks better English than Tito does.

UFC 163: Aldo vs. Pettis will take place at the HSBC Arena in Rio, some time in August

And Boogie, while you were spending your time elsewhere, being too good for MMA GAF we got slaughtered and we'll be picking up the pieces for about 2 weeks I think. For MMA-GAF it was a catastrophic day that will live in infamy. For EviLore, it was Monday.

Yup. Dude's bullshit includes insisting that women's MMA should only have three minute rounds because women tire more quickly.

Oh you mean we won't have to pay $60 for the next TUF Brazil finale? Shocking.

How gracious of Uncle Dana to give us a PPV worthy card on free TV. Maybe this is his makeup he promised for the UFC 112 PPV shitshow.

 

[polyh3dron]

Shael picked Kevin Casey? Dude is GARBAGE.

Great main event. Surprised Dana isn't just throwing shit cards up on Fuel until Fox Sports 1 is launched,

It was reported earlier today that WWE officials are considering a MMA-style fight for the Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H match at WrestleMania 29 in just a few weeks.

F4Wonline.com reports that the match will not be held under MMA rules.

WWE officials are considering 3 or 4 different stipulations but they had not decided on anything as of last night's RAW. It's possible we won't find out the stipulation until the March 25th or April 1st RAW.

Trips by split decision.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

They should hire Randy Couture and have some old school vignettes of him training with Hunter and teaching him subs.

 

[Lambda Pie]

Mir gonna distract Lesnar.

Will watch live. Of course that means aldo will pull out of the fight due an skateboard accident or something.

HHH by knee bar

Due to the PG era, I figure HHH will drink a Coca-Cola Light (as Pepsi don't pay him anything) and then he might hold hands with his wife.

Who else thinks Jones is a crappy coach? Chael has to be one of the best coaches Iv'e seen on TUF. Probably the best coach.

I thought that after the very first fight. I haven't watched since episode three, but it sounds like nothing has changed in that regard. Being a great athlete does not necessitate great coaching ability - as Jon Jones as reminded us.
