I want GSP to beat the shit out of Condit.

When was the last time GSP beat the shit out of anyone?

The same guy that Sadollah is gonna destroy this weekend - Dan Hardy.

Nah. He beat BJ up. Hardy got jabbed and mounted.

Hardy came out of that fight looking better than anyone GSP has ever fought, not a mark on him.

A case could be made for Koscheck, but I'd be hesitant since GSP did not finish a guy that fought with one usable eye for 20 minutes.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Hughes, Serra, Blowjob got beaten up. Kos got gameplanned.

Sonnen uppins

I like that Remy Lacroix gif.

 

[polyh3dron]

I guess in November he will go from Conduit to Candit.

Will Greg Jackson out Greg Jackson Greg Jackson?

I hope GSP wins so we can get the fucking superfight going.

GSP/Weidman is still a ways away.

Weidman can go join the kiddie pool with Glover, no one gives a shit about his amateur status.

Fighters who were scheduled to compete for Strikeforce on Saturday will still be compensated, despite the cancellation of the company’s “Melendez vs. Healy” card.

While exact figures were not revealed, Sherdog.com confirmed Tuesday with sources close to the event that Strikeforce parent company Zuffa, LLC, still plans to provide some form of payment to the fighters on the Sept. 29 bill, which was slated to take place at Power Balance Pavilion in Sacramento, Calif. MMAJunkie.com first reported the development this afternoon.

One competitor on the bill told Sherdog.com that he was informed he would receive his show money, though the funds had yet to be dispersed. Another fighter declined to comment on specifics, but asserted that Zuffa is “taking care of [the fighters], and I’m very appreciative.”

Jen Wenk, spokesperson for Authentic Management Group, provided a similar take on the situation.

“The financials are private,” Wenk said, “but Zuffa is taking very good care of the two Blackzilians that were on the card, Jorge Santiago and Yuri Villefort, despite the unfortunate cancellation of their fights.”

The show was called off Sunday night after headliner Gilbert Melendez withdrew from his lightweight title defense against Pat Healy due to a shoulder injury. In light of the news, Strikeforce officials stated that Showtime elected not to carry the fight card, resulting in the promotion scrapping the event.

Strikeforce’s next event is scheduled for Nov. 3 at Chesapeake Energy Center in Oklahoma City. That event also saw its initial headliner spoiled due to injury, as Frank Mir was forced to withdraw from his planned heavyweight conflict with Daniel Cormier one week ago. Cormier is still expected to compete on the card.

Props to Zuffa for doing something nice for a change.

So what is that, about 15 grand?

Probably.

Also, when is suspension time up for all the druggies? Can't wait.

 

[Plywood]

I can't wait to see which guy tries to avoid fighting more.

 

[Heel]

GSP/Weidman is still a ways away.

Looking forward to Anderson's heroic return to the octagon in late 2013, saving UFC 173 from the brink of cancellation by accepting a heavyweight fight against Cabbage.

I hope GSP wins so we can get the fucking superfight going.

GSP wins: we get Anderson vs. GSP
Condit wins: we get GSP vs. Diaz

 

[Bill_Duke]

I had no problem with how Condit won the Diaz fight, actually was a big fan but not fighting since is some straight BS. Plenty of dudes that should have their opportunity.

Yes. Why even create interim belt if nobody is going to fight until GSP has recovered?

 

[Maklershed]

I'm willing to be that on Monday 10/1 we hear that GSP is injured and won't be able to make 154.

Yep it'll happen right after tickets have sold out.

Do you think the UFC knows they done fucked up, Mr. Duke?

Condit will choose to pull out too to wait for GSP, leaving Hendricks vs. Kampmann for the Interim-Interim title.

UFC 154 cancelled, Hendricks vs Kampmann can't headline a PPV. I would actually love to see that happen at this point.

Such a team player, that Silver. It's not his fault Cabbage was the only guy who would step up. Nobody else was available at the time. Don't count Cabbage out btw, the guy is a WARRIOR.

 

[Fersis]

In a recent interview GSP said that he is not fighting Anderson, he doesnt want to go fat.

Also: i want to have The Reem physique * Buys horse meat*

Either that or it goes ahead and we just have to deal with a constant ironic chant of "GSP! GSP! GSP!" throughout.

Cabbage is a fundamental part of a chicken salad.

Really? If that's the case perhaps Dana and co should stop trying to hype a superfight they cannot make. Unless they are assuming he will "do as he is told" as they often reiterate any fighter should quake at the very mention of their names / no one is bigger than the org etc...

Yeah i think that Dana 'Effin' White relies on Georges being a company man.

Good news for GSP then. He doesn't have to.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Lmao. He'd be emaciated. If silva actually made 170 at the weigh ins it would practically guarantee his loss.

 

[alr1ght]

They should fight at Rumbleweight.

I believe he's fought at 167 before? Of course, that was several years ago.

The "election" begins early it seems...

 

[polyh3dron]

When I was at UFC 137, which originally was supposed to be GSP vs Diaz and then was supposed to be GSP vs Conduit, GSP made his entrance into the arena during prelims and we all booed him because he seemed to be walking around just fine.

The only belt this bootleg Paul Roma will ever have without the aid of photoshop is the one that keeps his pants up.

And he had surgery two weeks later...

 

[TheNatural]

Retired UFC fighter and current broadcaster Kenny Florian is in shape.

After all, "round is a shape," he told recently joked with MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio).

But the former UFC title challenger, who was the first competitor to fight in four different UFC weight classes, said injuries are healing, he's getting in better shape, and he's now hesitant to completely discount the possibility he'll someday return to the cage as a fighter.

...


So is a return to fighting possible?

"I don't know," he said. "It's tough to say. I'm definitely keeping myself busy, but I've learned never to say never.

LOL. The only person who can match fake retirements with the UFC roster these days is Ric Flair.

Dana just needs to make a fucking UFC TV title and put Florian and Faber in a fight and get the shit over with.
