Lavar Johnson's signed up with Bellator.
With him and Kongo, their HW division has risen from "crap" to "mediocre."

WW GOAT Matt Hughes x Carlos Newton comes to mind.
Except that Joshua was UFC champ and successful in pride and strikeforce. He also is tough and has a chin, something reem lacks
Still looks like crap to me
Oh yeah i forgot about that one.
Bully Maynard and some dude on tuf had a draw due to double ko. Rob Emerson I think.
For some reason I thought Gray won that. I remember Emerson tapping due to pain right after the slam and Gray getting the nod before they realized he was out.
Probably because he was so adamant that he wasn't unconscious.

Joe Warren joined Team Jackson lol. Take that all you Fight Master guys that 'chose' to be on Warren's team.
Also, Warren off of tomorrow's Bellator card due to ... medical paper's not being in order?
They thought Gray said to himself 'Hooo! That was a tough one! Time for a nap. Zzzzz"

Good scrap.
And why is Bellator on Saturday? To duck the UFC head-to-head from Wednesday?
I like this fight. Rafael dos Anjos just took out both of these guys, so why not put them up against one another and see what happens?
same shit bro, #team synonym
#team ennui
I mean, should we really be flipping our lids over a fight that will (I hope) find itself in the prelims of a 'stacked' 20th anniversary card, when that's where it belongs in the first place? It's as if expectations have been lowered to the point that we're surprised that Cowboy vs. Dunam is not the co-main. It's a shade over middling, and that's where it should both be placed on the card and received. They've earned midcard status.
UFC 167 is shaping up to be what should be expected of a pay-per-view. Every pay-per-view.

I won't dispute any of that Heel but bottomline is that it's poised to be an entertaining fight and the more of those, the better.

I never looked at 167 as a stacked card myself, and I personally put much more stock in style matchups than I do name recognition.
But they have added a couple matches to that card that make it much better than your usual shitty top heavy GSP PPV.
#TeamNegative looks at a card with names they don't recognize and says "who the fuck are these guys?". Then they look at a card with names they recognize and say they all suck.
#Team Negative, spreading truth since 2013.
Georges St. Pierre (c) vs. Johny Hendricks (High probability of boring decision)
Rashad Evans vs Chael Sonnen (High probability of boring decision)
Rory MacDonald vs. Robbie Lawler (Medium probability of boring decision)
Frank Mir vs Alistair Overeem (High probability of a bad fight with a KO finish)
Josh Koscheck vs. Tyron Woodley (High probability of boring decision)
Donald Cerrone vs. Evan Dunham (High probability of a good fight with a KO finish)

No, #TeamNegative looks at a card with names they DO recognize and says "who the fuck are these guys?"

Cerrone vs Dunham is an awesome match up.
And what kind of sense does it make that team positive is positive because they get to see everything for free? It makes sense that team negative is negative because they see everything for free. They get inundated with tons of content without earning it so they get to be flippant about everything. Think of a person that goes to see movies three or four times a year compared to some kid that torrents everything.
Team positive is positive because they still love the sport, they think the fighters today are better than ever (and aren't salty about losing their Pride heroes and/or seeing their Pride heroes being exposed by the new breed), and appreciate the skill, punishment, and effort that these people go through.
Honestly though I mostly think team positive is people being genuine and team negative is people trying to get a rise out of people or be funny .. which we're all guilty of in here from time to time.

"CroCop is expected to go in a rematch with Alexander Emelianenko in October or November in Russia [56] and then he is expected to fight Satoshi Ishii in Japan on December 31, 2013.[57]"

I have literally no idea what to say about this.

Shit, that almost looks like an Ultimate!
Hendricks' camp: Reps for UFC champ St-Pierre refused NSAC-approved WADA testing
There's a bit more to it than that in the article, but I found this pretty interesting:

I don't always agree with Kizer but I like his stance on not being jerked around with the smear campaign shit that fighters camps have been using more and more lately. That shit is disgusting to me. In a perfect world the Commisisons would use the most advanced and impartial tests, foot the bill, and keep the details of what the test is, how the tests work, and when the tests will be conducted completely secret. That probably won't ever happen so the least that should be done is the Camps agree on the tests and shut the hell up with accusations unless a test comes back positive.
