UFC wanna set up fights then give Hendo the title shot. Even though Bisping KO Rockhold I think Hendo can still take him.

I think Bisping wins, but Hendo constantly proves you can never count him out. Hendo is both a lot older than he was in their previous encounter and isn't on that testosterone milkshake anymore, and just moves a lot more slowly nowadays. Meanwhile, Bisping has actually matured and learned patience, such that he's less likely to get caught by an H-Bomb than he was.

 

[Spiderjericho]

Yeah, nothing against Hendo. I mean both he and Bisping are on the decline but I feel like the matchup would easily favor Bisping now.

Give the title shot to either

Rockhold
Weidman
Romero
Souza

Jacare is gonna get fucked again. He probably won't even fight Luke or Weidman as they'd likely fight each other in NYC.

NYT: Donald Trump Wants Sports Stars, Not Politicians, on Convention Stage

Donald J. Trump has some ideas for how to jazz up the Republican National Convention, and he previewed one at a rally here on Friday evening: a “winner’s evening” of sports celebrities and champions addressing the convention rather than politicians.

“We’re going to do it a little different, if it’s O.K.,” he told the crowd. “I’m thinking about getting some of the great sports people who like me a lot.”

“Dana White, you know Dana White?” Mr. Trump asked the crowd. “U.F.C. Guy’s a champion. These are champions.”

He said he wanted to have them all address the convention, to be held next month in Cleveland, as examples of “winners,” rather than “these people, these politicians who are going to get up and speak and speak and speak.”

Would be amazing if Trump can unite Tito and Dana "it's good to be" White on the same stage.

Maybe they will have the boxing match at the convention?

I re-watched Brock vs Randy yesterday and was surprised.
My memory had made it a clear win for Brock but instead, he lost most of the fight in my opinion.
Until he hit Randy really hard and he fell over of course.

The people have spoken.

Fine, I've come to accept that Hendo will choose to die in the ring eventually.

[Sweeney Tom]

Technically that's correct. Currently lives in a farm in Saskatchewan and loves it per interviews he's done

 

[BigJonsson]

Haha, Brock is Canadian now

 

[Fox318]

Brock hates people

Frankly if he could buy a tropical island where he could hunt moose he'd live there.

Must suck to be a kid of his.

 

[Maklershed]

Brock being Canadian has more truth to it than Cain being from Mexico.

And I'll just leave this here ...

At least the shirt doesn't say Giblert.

If I remember correctly, his farm is very humble. He also eats Subway meatball sandwiches. WTF does that guy do with his money?

I know plenty of farmers that don't sound like they want to live in complete isolation from society.

Brock probably doesn't even have his money in the bank. He probably just keeps it in his safe room and looks at it while polishing his deer racks.

Clay Guida publicly expressed that he wants to be Trump's personal bodyguard.

Clearly he has suffered too many blows to the head to think straight anymore.

Kadyrov isn’t just running Akhmat MMA as his hobby. He is using the top talent to run “errands” for him. Imagine what those entail.

Chechen fighters who are gifted luxury cars pay for them in blood and despicable deeds. Nothing comes for free. Forever in Kadyrov's debt.

Recently, Kadyrov has used gift-giving to regularly elevates the status of local MMA fighters from his MMA team, as well as his republic. He has given vehicles to UFC heavyweight Ruslan Magomedov - who called Kadyrov his "older brother" -- after he joined the Akhmat MMA gym. World Series of Fighting flyweight champion Magomed Bibulatov was given a Mercedes Benz ML 63 AMG following his title victory last year, while Shamil Zavurov and Maxim Grishin also received their respective Mercedes after leaving the Fight Nights promotion to move over to Akhmat MMA.

During one of the more recent Akhmat events, an entire photo gallery was published by the promotion that showed the fighter arrive at the pre-fight weigh-ins in their Mercedes', as well as Bentleys and Lamborghinis. Swarms of fans welcomed them as though they were mainstream celebrities.

To cement their elevated status as local heroes, Kadyrov also takes his favorite fighters out hunting and for meals in the wilderness. By posting these occasions on his Instagram account - -the main source for his propaganda with over a million followers - the Chechen population associates the fighters with power, prestige, and impressive connections.

This shit is pretty wild.

If Lesnar beats Hunt, why not bring in Fedor for one UFC fight? It'd be fun.

lmao he literally just did an interview saying it's racist against Russians to ban meldonium

The answer is an emphatic no

Is there serious talk of Hendo vs Bisping or are we just talking about this for funsies?

Bisping wants it.

That's a change in tune. Either the fan reactions spurred this call out or the UFC dropped a hint that they want Henderson next. It was only a few days ago that Bisping was adamant that Jacare should be next, but merely that he liked the idea of Henderson to avenge his loss.

Bisping definitely wants Henderson.

Meanwhile, I completely forgot Rory and Wonderboy were fighting this weekend. Hopefully it's not at a strange time so I can catch it at the pub.

 

[Weckum]

He and BJ have true bushido the likes of which we will never see again

Robbie Lawler has some of that bushido tho.

Rory Mac vs Wonderboy has the potential to be amazing or an absolute crapfest.

Bisping likes money and Hendo is way bigger than Jacare who has zero personality.

Why haven't Brazilians come around to learning English to improve their profile and interest? Claudia Ghadela was the only smart one. She's likely going to be favored by the fans over JJ due to TUF.

 

[broz0rs]

Understandly, Jacare is pissed that Bisping-Hendo is a thing

http://www.mmamania.com/2016/6/15/1...to-get-dan-henderson-next-ufc-title-shot-mma?

"This Dan Henderson campaign is ridiculous. It's actually funny, because I am next and there are others ahead of him. Chris Weidman also makes no sense, because he was scheduled to fight at UFC 199 and pulled out. It makes no sense to put him ahead of me, not to mention he's injured and can't train. Long story short. I fought and I won. He didn't."

 

[Fox318]

Yoel Romero deserves a shot before Jacare.

the argument for who should face Bisping:

 

[Maklershed]

Will Brooks signed with UFC. First fight is against Ross Pearson.
