Rampage Vs. Anderson

Everybody knows this is the correct answer.

This. I thought about this earlier. They're both big names, Pride and UFC legends and mainly do stand up. If I was Page, I'd reacquaint myself with wrestling.

There's also Silva/Bisping. I just don't think he should fight Belfort, Machida, Rockhold, Romero or Souza (sp).

Seeing Bisping getting knocked out never gets old, I wouldn't mind seeing Silva matched up with him.

 

[parrotbeak]

Nick should fight Crocop or Cung Le at whatever weight they want.

 

[industrian]

Who do you guys think should be next for Silva?

GSP.

 

[VoxPop]

Rampage vs Anderson seems like a good idea. Maybe Rockhold if he gets past Machida. Yoel and Bisping are great gimme fights.

People probably wouldn't want it but I would love to see him send home Phil Davis on a stretcher.

 

[Banglish]

I wonder how a fight with Mousasi would turn out.

 

[industrian]

Anderson vs. Bisping is as solid a fight at 185 that you can get. Bisping never got the chance to fight Silva for the title, and after Rockhold dismantled him he'll never be in the mix for a title shot ever again. So it's a consolation prize for Bisping, and another fight for Silva where he doesn't need to worry about getting KO'd.

But as for Anderson fighting guys like Rockhold or even like Kennedy? You don't want that drama.

 

[industrian]

48-47 split for Anderson

Spoiler

if the fight takes place in Brazil.

I really want to see Anderson vs. Cung Le. Trust me, I back. I back guys.

[VoxPop]

Rumor is Brock returns after Mania and fights the winner if Mur Big Foot on the July card.

Should throw Punk on that card as well.

Iaquinta vs Masvidal

Meisha Tate wants Beth Correia

Always surprised how little everyone makes (that isn't a headliner).

 

[RBelong2Us]

Vitor turned down Mousasi fight as well.

 

[Can Crusher]

Nick made 500k?

 

[Spiderjericho]

Yeah, it's abhorrent. I looked up minimum pay checks in professional sport leagues and it's just no comparison. Kids are guaranteed to make more money playing baseball, hockey, basketball or football.

Uncle Creepy has been fighting for more than a decade and is making that laughable amount per fight? He doesn't have that many years left in him of fighting. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule is champs, top contenders or trash talkers.

i feel like that image is going to get a lot of mileage.

 

[BigJonsson]

Diaz failed a post-fight test for weed
Silva failed a pre-fight test for Drostanolone

They still let him fight because they wanted that $$$.

He no back anymore

He no back ever again

Yea, convenient how the NSAC didn't inform them until Feb 3

 

[TheChits]

GSP is the GOAT.

 

[thehypocrite]

I back guys.

 

[BigJonsson]

GSP is the GOAT.

Yup, and he still says he isn't coming back

 

[Guru-Guru]

GSP is the GOAT.

Amen. 100% natural. Dominated every fight since regaining the title except against roided up Hendricks. Also is very handsome.

 

[Plywood]

We've gone to the next level.

 

[alr1ght]

Greatest Sleeping Pill maybe

 

[Chamber]

AHahahahahahahaha

 

[op_ivy]

i'm shocked!

Roided up Candy couldn't even put away a bloated welterweight.

I love the fact that they let him fight anyways. Super hilarious.

They could probably use one of Punk's straight edge promos right now.

Snatch, you out there breh?

 

[Spiderjericho]

Wow, that company is a mess. Meanwhile Jon Jones was hanging out and partying in Vegas...

 

[Maklershed]

I wonder if Silva left the cage and told Jones he's the best now and then got back in the ring and started crying cause he knew its over.

 

[Gr1mLock]

I forget that weed is a class 1 zuffa PED.

You should get on that so you could stop losing.

I really thought Boetsch had that in the bag. Oh well.

 

[A More Normal Bird]

I want to see Nick's reaction.

Yea, convenient how the NSAC didn't inform them until Feb 3

Yeah, do the ACs just not give a shit what they find in a pre-fight/out of comp test? Why not just maintain the facade?
