Ya, both mma calenders I had subscribed to on Google Calendar seem to be inactive. But I haven't bothered looking for another source since I have this thread.

If there was every a guy that need to do roids.
i just don't think he really gives a fuck. he's obviously not training very much anymore and must be content to be at home with his family. he's collecting his money.
if he really wanted to compete, i think he could have easily decided to cut weight to 205 lbs, he's got enough body fat that I don't think the cut would be that hard for him with proper exercise and nutrition. and i think he has everything it takes to be successful at 205 lbs. he could recreate dan henderson's kind of run at lhw.

I think it's because people just don't take him seriously as an MMA fighter because of, like you said, his strongman history. A lot of people just treat him as a bit of a spectacle, with a "is he serious about this?" mindset.
Pudzian claims to have a boxing and karate background, but it is hard to shake the feeling that his MMA career is all about publicity, considering that he's only fought once outside of Poland and all, and most of his fights appear to be built around the "spectacle" of seeing two huge guys lay into each other.
I would have thought that losing to James Thompson would kill anyone's career in MMA.
Smh @ those Fedor pics. I'm crying on the inside.
Doesn't seem like Rampage will be on the Japan card so I think QRJ/Forrest is pretty likely for the Fox show. Can't imagine Uncle Dana would have any interest in booking QRJ/Rashad 2, especially for network television.

Looks the biggest I have seen him
At this point, Fedor will have to kill Monson to get any credibility back.

Ha fucking figures. I finally get rid of Showtime because they only thing I watch on it is Strikeforce and the past challengers have been snoozefests and now they have a good one.

Yeah I can't even think of a Challengers card I actually enjoyed top-to-bottom but this one was wild.

I didn't even know Strikeforce still ran Challenger cards. I stopped watching them a while a go since they were dreadful. Oh well, it'll all be moot in 3 months when Strikeforce is folded into the UFC
wtf

PPV I think.

Yes. Challengers was great last night. Amagov looks like he could be a competitor at 205. And the woman's match featured a sick grappler.

So Fedor stole Tim Sylvia's power after beating him, like MegaMan?
Derek Brunson really impressed me. He's got the skillset to make some waves in a year or two.

Nice victory for Chandler. I guess we won't see Aoki fight Alvarez now.
ya who was the russian guy throwing straight punches and using leg kicks? i think it's hard to make an argument for monson even being a top 100 heavyweight. at least fedor didn't embarrass himself, clinically beat him up.

Feel free to ask any questions you might have about MMA. You can also probably get some recommendations of past great fights to check out.
Bellator put the entire Eddie Alvarez vs. Mike Chandler fight up on youtube. Definitely worth watching, great fight.
You'll get mixed responses in regards to TUF, but it's how I got into the sport, and it's no doubt a great introduction. Sure you'll get some ridiculous house antics and all that, but you get to know some personalities and you root for guys and it's more than just guys fighting. I believe you can watch all the seasons online at the official site.
Here's a great recommendation for you OG Kush. I didn't get to watch this live last night, but glad to check it out now, what a battle!

Just a heads up that The Fighter is $10.99 on Amazon today. Great movie. Everyone in MMA Gaf needs to see it.
