Well that sucks. I wonder if anyone would be willing to step in against Conduit on short notice?

 

[tass0]

So, judging by the last few big PPVs in Boxing, I'd say that it fits dream and yaco's somewhat twisted criteria to be "sports entertainment" (which implies that the sport is rigged) more so than MMA does. Just saying.

I don't really get the whole "MMA is sports entertainment lol" thing you guys got going on here.

Can anybody give me some recent examples?

I mean, other than Chael Sonnen (who is mostly treated as 'aww, how cute' due to his silly antics), I can't think of anybody else that comes to mind.

I mean, two of the last major boxing PPVs consist of an illegal KO, "if I was 50-years younger, I'd kick your ass!" and Chad Dawson shooting a double leg on Hopkins, yet nobody really makes the comparisons.

 

[Chamber]

FFUUUUUUUU

 

[polyh3dron]

So Diaz is probably gonna be on the main event now anyways lol.

Wonder what'll happen when he doesn't show up for the next beauty pageant?

 

[polyh3dron]

Well that sucks. I wonder if anyone would be willing to step in against Conduit on short notice?

Koscheck maybe

 

[tass0]

Fuck!

GSP is out?

I guess they'll be putting Diaz or Penn in the main event vs Condit.

Sucks.

 

[polyh3dron]

no I doubt that, Diaz vs. Penn is most likely the main event now.

 

[polyh3dron]

It's a knee injury accourding to Dana's twitter

 

[alr1ght]

Fucking hell

BJ v Diaz is the ME.

 

[Chamber]

Does Condit even want another fight? It's a big risk for a #1 contender to fight someone on under two weeks notice.

 

[Heel]

Koscheck maybe

I'd rather see someone like Anthony Johnson step in, but I'm sure he's ballooned to 200+ by now.

We should've known 137 was too good to be true.

 

[alr1ght]

danawhite Dana White
It's GSP'S knee. We will sit Carlos to wait for GSP. It's looking so far like he could be ready in a couple months. Still early to tell tho

edit: beaten but only because I took the time to put a link in my post

 

[Chamber]

Put it on UFC 141. GSP and Brock on the same card = $$$

 

[polyh3dron]

oh wow so the main event is 3 rounds, not 5.

 

[pr0cs]

fuck.
bad enough spending over $3000 on tickets but to lose the main event 2 weeks out.. goddammit.

 

[alr1ght]

They're lucky this wasn't in Canadia.

 

[polyh3dron]

Put it on UFC 141. GSP and Brock on the same card = $$$

yeah and they already got the $$$ from a bunch of chumps (myself included) who paid to see gsp vs. diaz

 

[Biff]

Goddammit GSP

New Year's Ubercard? Sonnen v. Silva and GSP v. Condit? I'll take 20.

Edit: Make that Superbowl Sunday Ubercard. Didn't realize 141 = New Years card (technically). Although Condit is probably the least popular main card fighter since Hammill vs. Rampage

 

[TheNatural]

FUCK YOUR MOTHERRRR

Wow. This is Dana's fault for continuing to waste opportunities getting guys back in the octagon and letting them toil for months in training because they're only booked twice a year.

 

[Chamber]

yeah and they already got the $$$ from a bunch of chumps (myself included) who paid to see gsp vs. diaz

"Come on, guys. When don't we deliver?" - Uncle Dana

 

[polyh3dron]

fuck.

yup I bought pretty expensive tix to this myself... I also bought tickets for Cain vs. JDS and if that fight is cancelled then I am fucking done.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Shit, I was looking forward to the ass beating that CC was going to get. At least I still to get to see BJ beat the shit out of Diaz.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Heh, bummer. Oh well BJ V Diaz is still pretty good for a main event.

 

[Boogie]

FUCK YOUR MOTHERRRR

shit

 

[polyh3dron]

Heh, bummer. Oh well BJ V Diaz is still pretty good for a main event.

Yeah but ticket prices were really jacked up due to GSP, Condit, Penn and Diaz all being on the same card. The people that paid for a ridiculously stacked card aren't getting it.

Oh no doubt. Dem the breaks I guess, lol. I had to buy my UFC 110 in Aus tickets without knowing who was fighting.

 

[polyh3dron]

fuck it, at this point I want Diaz to skip the next press conference just to see what Dana does so this card can be even more of a clusterfuck.

 

[Chamber]

So I think we're at 9 canceled main events this year.

Shogun vs. Evans - UFC 128
Edgar vs. Maynard - UFC 130
Lesnar vs. Dos Santos - UFC 131
Rumble vs. Marquardt - UFC Live 4
Story vs. Marquardt - UFC Live 4
Jones vs. Evans - UFC 133
Evans vs. Davis - UFC 133
GSP vs. Diaz - UFC 137
GSP vs. Condit - UFC 137

Still 5 more cards at risk this year. How exciting!

Edited for accuracy.

 

[polyh3dron]

You can bank on Brock pulling out of the Overeem fight too.

 

[Chamber]

You can bank on Brock pulling out of the Overeem fight too.

Dana is probably sweating bullets about that one. There isn't even another viable Heavyweight to step in if that happens so we would end up with Reem vs. Brendan Schaub or something.

 

[Maklershed]

Really glad I didn't buy tickets to that event now. Still it'll be exciting to see Diaz vs Penn as the main event .. from the comfort of my couch.

And yeah it'll be a miracle if both Lesnar and Overeem stay healthy for that match. If they do though its gotta be the best selling ppv of the year right?

Cesar Gracie: "Don't be scared, homie. Let's make it five rounds."

let the trolling begin

 

[Heel]

It won't matter when BJ finishes him inside of 3.

 

[Rur0ni]

Ugh. :|

 

[TheKaeptain]

It won't matter when BJ finishes him inside of 3.

I'm think early third BJ by TKO or Tap.

Really bothers me having to cheer on BJ.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Really bothers me having to cheer on BJ.

At least he has beat someone in the past two years.

 

[Chamber]

At least he has beat someone in the past two years.

Uh, Evangelista Santos was a legit victory bro!

It wasn't too long ago that Daley KO'd Kampmann and Hazelett and was fighting Koscheck in a #1 contender fight. And Diaz didn't just lay on Paul Daley, he knocked him out.

 

[TheKaeptain]

It wasn't too long ago that Daley KO'd Kampmann and Hazelett and was fighting Koscheck in a #1 contender fight.

Daley was overrated. Guy was never going to beat any of the top guys at 170. Diaz has been fighting scrubs in Strikeforce. BJ is going to make him look silly.

 

[AstroLad]

Seeing as how BJ managed to get Fitch down . . . yeah.

 

[polyh3dron]

BJ will win the 1st round and tire out, Diaz wins via superior cardio.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I never know if you're agreeing with me or trolling.

Diaz loses because of inferior skill.

 

[Heel]

Show some respect guys. Sure, Nick may have been cut from the UFC after being outgrappled. But his years of beating subpar grapplers outside of the UFC have proven he's the man to beat GSP, the best grappler in the whole division.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Nick will be fighting Nate for a chance at the 155 belt.

 

[Plywood]

From Dana's twitter:

Son of a bitch.

 

[rinse82]

GSP - Condit in Toronto please

 

[yacobod]

Well i guess it's for the best that God damn Sleeping Pill is off the main event spot. Diaz and Penn was the unofficial main event of that card anyways. And Mirko is always deserving of a co-main spot.

 

[parrotbeak]

He was probably doing backflips after visualizing his victory.
