MMA-GAF |OT5| Father Time Is Undefeated

GSP's aim now is probably to top Anderson's record for title defences and then retire.

But at the same time, there's no real roadmap whatsoever for the Welterweight division. As in: who's the number one contender after Johny Kosdricks gets jabbed to a 50-44?

The winner of Condit/Brown is pretty much the only standout No. 1 Contender fight right now. And excluding this matchup there's a bunch of potentials right now in the division but nothing decisive:

Saffy, Kim, Shields, Lawler, Lombard... the UFC needs to mix & match these guys ASAP to keep GSP busy.

GSP will retire. When the only match ups are his protege and Condit 2, it's time to go. He has no interest in MW it seems and must be a multi millionaire by now, so why not?

That noise you're hearing right now is the sound of Dana White's blood pressure reaching unsafe levels.

But I'm sure that GSP will hold on for one more fight. Gotta get that "Retirement Match" money...
as long as it's not against Anderson...

Dana needs to cut down on the TRT.

One more fight, if it's a super fight with a marquee name sure, but who other than Anderson? PPV buy points are where he will make "beach house" money.

Move up for a one off against Lyoto maybe?

Unless they want GSP to lose they're not going to put him up against anyone with title potential in any division. And GSP won't want to lose in his retirement match either.

GSP/Diaz 2 it is then.

Ruthless Robbie will be the obvious no.1 contender in a few days.

Found this bit in the first article amusing (considering the "no education or employable skills to fall back on" mantra in the old OT's):
MMA guys, for example, tend to be more educated, so you have to factor that in, education seems to have a protective effect, at least when you test things like reaction time and cognitive testing.

It's not the way she portrayed herself; it's who she is. It's why women fight in the UFC, because of her. I could care less if you don't like her or you like her. It doesn't matter to me. She's the world champion, she's badass, and she goes out to win. We were talking about it when we were flying here on the plane. One of our financial guys was basically asking if the women's division would have got started without [Ronda Rousey]. I said, "We wouldn't have done it without Ronda. I wouldn't have even done it without Ronda. You could line up all the greatest girls on earth from here to f**king Pluto. And she's the one that when I met her, I said this chick is insanely competitive and just a different animal. She's what it took to get women in the UFC. Hate her or not, the reason all these girls fight in the UFC is because of her.

In the beginning everyone said I had a crush on Ronda Rousey. Are you f**king serious? Yeah, I had a crush on her, so I started women's MMA in the UFC (sarcasm). Gina Carano was hot too, you didn't see me bringing her into the UFC. Ronda Rousey is a different animal. She's a different animal, I'm telling you. And I know her a lot better than all of you do.

The thing is, with her and Miesha, she hates Miesha Tate. When she and Cat Zingano were gonna be the coaches, you heard them talk on the podium, the mutual respect. She hates Miesha Tate. Hates her. And anyone who's ever hated somebody before knows how that feels. I've hated a few people in my life so I know how that feels. Yes, when you hate somebody, you might stoop low and do some things that make you look like a jackass. But, oh well.

Speaking of which, it seems Tate beat Rousey in the fan voting for the Ultimate video game cover thingy. Are we seeing the tides turn?

Lame Dana stuffing the ballot boxes in an effort to keep an Ike Turner-like stranglehold on Ronda's career. He's taking advantage of her inferiority complex by making her feel ugly and powerless so he can hopefully one day date her. All while getting paid. Pathetic, friends.

I vote this, but apparently Jon Jones automatically is already on the cover.

You have got to go to Seasons Beatings! If I was remotely close I would drive there.

I like that the "also featuring" only has one name mentioned for each fighter, it really makes it sound like we're talking about prison gang members fighting.
"Also Featuring Rico, Valdez, Beaver, Sanchez, Milo, Harding, and MANY MANY MORE.."

P.S: This really puts pressure on the UFC to come up with a "205 pound Native World Title"..actually, on second thought, that's probably more a Bellator thing, since almost all of their events take place at Indian casinos.

Hooo lawd! I'm sweatin. I'd buy multiple copies of that game.


Unrelated: I was searching high and low on my phone in GTA5 for the iFruit app and then I realized they must've been talking about a real life app. That game has a daunting amount of content and connectivity.

For those that care, Jonathan Brookins is back from his time off and is training at Tristar again. Always really liked that guy, so I hope to see him back in the octagon soon

I almost feel that given what a complete lunatic Rousey has been revealed to be, and what an absolute sweetheart Tate comes off as, Dana might actually be better off if Tate wins the rematch next month.

i think this would make some sense if people actually watched TUF my friend.

I need to watch this Mike Tyson Undisputed Truth film/doc/talk/whatever that's getting a commercial every break here during MNF.

I don't get the whole "vote" thing for the UFC cover athlete.

Just use Jon Jones for PS4, Roy Nelson for Xbone and Sean Salmon for Wii U.

(I was going to say use Pat Barry for Xbone, but his nickname is "HD.")

In your analogy I imagine Jone Jones waking up and being immobile for the first 10 minutes of the day as he listens to the news and gets bandaged. And then he breathes really loudly for the rest of the day.

(also lol at the Sean Salmon reference .. something that doesn't happen enough in this thread)
