lol nate.

he sees gil's sweet contract that he got from having his existing contract expire and tough negotiations for a new one and thinks he can get a raise by getting out of the shit contract that he actually agreed to?

what an idiot.

 

[Razdek]

I back. I back. I respect America.

This always gets a laugh from me and never gets old especially when you think of his voice when reading it. Who is going to be the can for his first match back?

 

[Sato Koiji]

Ideally he just skips to the squash matches (which may be a lot harder on him than they used to be) and doesn't go for the title. He gets to clown and pretend he's Bruce Lee or Muhammad Ali and sell PPV tickets.

Or, he brings the budo and tries to get that belt back anyways. The budo is lost among most of these fighters today. Pettis has it, when he isn't broken that is. New old Vitor has it in spades. This could be something of a challenge for us in this thread: what fighters are left that are willing to take any fight at any time?

It has become difficult to seek out those guys with budo. If you dont have excellent fighting ability and are a bum..you would want to strategically pick your guys to make as much money as possible. There are dozens of guys who will never ever become champion so the "ill fight anybody" approach could be detrimental for 80 % of the guys under contract.

Oh Dana 200 Million? Uh boi...if him and his mafia friends wouldnt be as greedy as they are...the sport could move forward with better signings.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Why are you surprised? When the Joes he employs make 6k/6k and he's got the third biggest stake of ownership of the company and makes it so he's the biggest star of the company.

I knew the dude was ballin but damn son. That is straight up dirty casino coke money ballin.

Since they're unlikely to give Diaz a WW title shot (maybe a slim chance if Lawler wins) I say make him Silva's return opponent. Guaranteed fireworks and the winner can have a shot at either the MW or WW strap.

So could the loser (;

 

[Plywood]

Anderson Silva is holding up better than anyone could have hoped.

This guy is going to end his career like every other fighter who kept competing past their prime though. I hope he doesn't pull a Fedor and lose a third fight and then go to the minor leagues for a few gifted wins on his way into retirement.

I wouldn't mind seeing him fight at least two other people before they consider throwing him at Wildman again.

Silva would knock him out.

Haha, exactly! It's a win win win win. Which means they'll probably make Silva vs Cote 2.

Thats it firefox. We're done. I can't take this shit anymore. Now you just randomly decided you wont load youtube? Okay.

Gravity was just as good as the first time I watched it. Never been so happy to own a movie on blu-ray. Now time to watch The Americans, brehs.

Doing that right now. Good riddance.

 

[alr1ght]

Think I'm dropping the Americans. I can't care about watching the S2 premiere. Maybe I'll marathon it at the end of the season.

FF4Life. I have way too many extensions to drop it. I think youtube is just being youtube.

 

[Chamber]

Drop the Americans? No other show will let me see Felicity in the 69 position, fuck that.

Yeah I'm gonna watch it on my brand spankin new 65" Panasonic 3D plasma this weekend.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

I never wrapped up season 1 of The Americans. I'm more interested in Ali G's comeback, he was good on HBO all those years ago. Speaking of HBO, True Detective is p4p #1 show on tv right now.

Has Anderson Silva expressed interest in fighting at WW? If so, I could see him putting on a good scrap with Diaz.

Maybe give him Diaz and if GSP ever comes back he could bless Dana with the superfight he always wanted before he sails into the sunset of MMA history.

 

[industrian]

I'm pretty sure Diaz would fight at MW against Anderson. It's one of his desired fights afterall:

[MjFrancis]

I clicked on another piece from your link, industrian:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1970089-ufc-170-results-the-real-winners-and-losers-from-rousey-vs-mcmann

The choicest quote was:

As the Sochi Winter Games draw to a close, sports fans received some bonus Olympic action at UFC 170, where 2008 judo bronze medalist Ronda Rousey put her UFC women's bantamweight title on the line against 2004 wrestling silver medalist Sara McMann.

It also presented an interesting contrast in grappling styles. The takedowns and overall defense of a wrestler against the throws, trips and submissions of a judoka. In that way, the matchup is a throwback to MMA's early days, when competitors brought contrasting specialties into the cage to determine whose style reigned supreme.

I didn't figure this could be contrasted in a fight that lasted one minute and six seconds. Maybe next time we can compare and contrast how Johny Hendrick's fighting style matched up against Jon Fitch's wrestling.

 

[Sato Koiji]

Speaking of Johnny...who the hells gonna win the WW championship match in texas?

 

[polyh3dron]

It's a joke man, chill

If you knew the history of Nate's dealings with the UFC over the last year or so you would realize that this isn't the case.

And yeah re: Leben's fluoridation theories, you'd think the tinfoil hat crew would have stopped after Dr. Strangelove back in the day.

There's a saying that goes "You can take the boy out the hood but you can't take the hood out the homeboy". Homeboy gots that favela blood running through his viens no matter how much money he has.

 

[MjFrancis]

Any Brazilian fighter who started out with their trainers buying them food before they trained because they didn't eat the day before is going to have some favela in them.
