I really don't get what GSP thinks is going to happen.

Does he really believe that he will get to wear his under armour gear when fucking Brock was forced to wear the Reebok tights?

They actually have language written into their deals about tattoos like that.

Shit if he is making enough from UA and Hayabusa then he shouldn't step into the cage at his age.

I was watching some Pride today and couldn't get over how fucking massive that promotion was. I know the Yakuza link sank them, but if an organization that huge can go down the crapper I'm starting to wonder about the UFC. This is some seriously dumb fuck decisions the new owners are making.

They really are going to have to reduce the number of events they do if they keep stacking some cards and leaving others almost barren

They need to create "TV Champions." B-level guys who get asked to fight for the TV belt based on popularity.

Old wrestling federations had TV belts and they'd fight and put up their belts on their weekly television shows.

This way, guys like Diego Sanchez, Gilbert, Roy Nelson, etc could be champions.

Still too much, they should create a spin-off brand for the events with younger, less popular fighters........World Extreme Cagefighting!

You're probably joking but I've been saying for years they should have a WEC like org with up and comers and older guys that should prob be cut but still might have a comeback in them. Also use the WEC size cage.

Once the fighter starts doing good he can be promoted up to the main UFC line ups.

They should, but they (well Zuffa at least) want UFC to be synonymous with MMA. "That bro is training UFC." When some podunk town gets a UFC show, it's more likely to attract more people than a WEC/Strikeforce branded show. Whether having all these garbage shows hurts their traditional shows is the main factor in determining if they should keep going with the small shows. Zuffa obviously didn't think that. The new ownership group seems to be going the way of a way smaller roster and less shows. I doubt they'll start up some junior league, as they seem to be drastically cutting costs. Less shows and a smaller roster is completely fine to me. It also gives Bellator a better chance to compete.

I just want to throw this out there.

UFC Fight Night 102: Lewis vs. Abdurakhimov


That's my contribution to the subject of whether UFC has too many cards.

Maybe I'm old fashioned but I miss that "oh shit a ufc is on tonight, fuck yeah" feeling. Like I mean it only really happened once a month and was probably a fucking awesome card every time cause the roster wasn't so spread over a ton of shows.

I wish GSP can take the UFC court with his high profile lawyer to attempt to get a precedent for fighter contracts. I get the feeling UFC might bite and give GSP a big deal so they won't have to go to court. Only a fighter who's made a ton of money can try to attempt this because of the significant legal costs.

Shane Carwin is the wildcard entry for RIZIN's heavyweight tournament. They're taking fan voting for one week to create the second round match-ups using the Twitter hashtag #RIZIN2016. Cro Cop vs. Wanderlei is already decided.

Bisping vs Diaz? is Diaz even in the top 10 at MW? =/ Joe Silva needs to come back

I realize the UFC is downsizing in all it's international markets, but how dense are they to not have GSP return in Toronto. That would sell out in a couple minutes - if that.

He wants UFC to make up the difference in the money he is losing from not being able to have sponsors. It's pretty reasonable really.

Sadly, GSP is pricing himself out of the market. It has to be without sponsor money if he ever wants to compete again. I hope this is all a lie and they already have a fight booked for him and all this gossip is PR for Georgie.

Oh and Nick has a real shot at winning the middleweight belt. Great times ahead of us...great times...

RIZIN is the promotion we deserve. Im down for whatever they do after that last bout of buffoonery we saw from them, it was glorious. RIP Carwins opponent.

Is this the same tournament in which Wandy inexplicably got a bye for the first round? No matter what the sport, if you have a tournament and give a team or a person a bye for the first round, you don't even care about trying to make it look legit.
