MMA-GAF |OT5| Father Time Is Undefeated
- Thread starter polyh3dron
- Start date
Well, if TJ Grant wants to back out of a fight months in advance, that's all the fans need to know about him. This fighter does not have the budo. He's on the same shit-list Machida found himself in - if he's so lucky he will get another match for lightweight contention.

Wow, sweet. How much were the tickets for the event? I'm considering booking a Vegas trip to go to this event now...

Tickets for the event go on sale Sept 27th and will probably be most expensive UFC tickets ever.

I don't even know how that would work with the UFC. Not sure that would benefit the fighters and I'm not excited to see Promoter bs preventing fights the fans want to see similar to what seems so prevalent in Boxing these days.
Oh nice. I wouldn't mind a couple of nosebleeds for an event like this. Do you need some special VIP pass type thing to get the tickets early?
How long until both the main and co-main events are cancelled?

I predict the MGM Grand collapses.
And bad news for Team Negative - Benjamin Brinsa will not be picked up by the UFC after all.

As for ticket prices, http://uk.ufc.com/news/ufc-168-world-press-tour-september-press-release
Cheaper than UFC 147 IIRC.

Jorgensen at FLW? Should be good. When Florian gives up the commentary job the division will start to look pretty deep.

Visually impaired C.J. Ross to take "a leave of absence."
http://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/boxing/cj-ross-take-leave-absence-boxing-judge
NAC chairman Bill Brady said the negative publicity Nevada has received since the fight because of Ross scoring had caught the attention of Gov. Brian Sandoval, who appoints commission members.
Brady said he talked briefly Tuesday with Sandoval and that their conversation was mostly positive.
I apologized to the governor for any embarrassment we may have caused the state, Brady said. He made me aware of his concerns. He wants things done right.
Brady said there will be changes to the process for selecting officials beginning Sept. 25, when the commission will make assignments for the WBO welterweight title fight between Timothy Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez on Oct. 12 at the Thomas &Mack Center.
There will be more questions asked, and Keith will be held accountable for his recommendations, Brady said. We wont be a rubber stamp anymore.
Edit: Sorry, the visually impaired part was my opinion, not fact. But she may want to get her eyes checked. I'm not sure what she was seeing that night.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission, ladies and gents.

I didn't eat for 24 hours and I'm about to get drunk on cheap wine. This will be fun.
It's a step in the right direction.
The rounds she scored looked like they were decided by throwing darts on her scorecard.

When people ask if the judges are blind, they don't really expect to get an affirmative answer.

Some of y'all need to get up in that Atlus thread and tell them all about "Business As Usual".
Wow what an awesome card.
Pettis x Punk
Faber x McDonald
Condit x Brown
Mendes x Lentz
McCall x Jorgensen
hoping they stack the prelims too
I'm guessing they dont have much faith in Pettis headlining a PPV against Thomson. How were the Bendo x Pettis 2 ppv numbers?
They should honestly remodel TUF to a weekly live/semi-live show, weed out the bad fights via delay
Use only up and comers and the occasional veteran, add a little reality spice, then stack the shit out of PPVs monthly
your lowbie guys get paid decently fighting constantly while the big stars make their money doing 3-4 fights a year
Go head to head with RAW, Monday Night Wars 2.0
One night only, I'm #TeamPositive.
I wouldn't mind that one bit. Goldie just reads off a script (which Anik also uses).
They're all going to decision. :>
Decisions aren't bad, it's how we get there that matters.
Everyone by LNP.
I'm almost positive Shogun v. Henderson comes to everyone's mind right here.
