For the title against Gus, Teixeira, or Mousasi. No title against, IDK JDS? Not sure there

My preference is the former. I want to see a fight for the title.

 

[Maintenance]

Another big website from Brazil reported that Anderson will be fighting, said they will announce today during the RdA event.

Can't understand how they got a permit to show murder live on television but hey, that's cool.

 

[Discotheque]

What does Ariel say tho....

Where's scoopman when you need him

 

[Fox318]

Just have Herb be the ref for that Neil Magney fight in Australia be the ref for Punk vs DC.

The latest of stoppages

The idea of Anderson Silva as 205 champ in 2016 still gives me butterflies. Now that Jones is out of the picture, the LHW division gets some new life (sorta). I see Anderson easily beating Rumble, Glover and Bader but Cormier is quite an obstacle.

But hey Michael Bisping is fucking champ.

Wait so the Anderson thing might be true? WHAT IS HAPPENING?!

Lmao. Btw is the cm punk fight gonna be a

Good lord no.

Silva verse McGregor, book it.

Hi Chael how are you? Selling windshield washer on your podcast working out well?

 

[zewone]

I see Anderson easily beating Rumble, Glover and Bader

I don't think any of these fights are easy fights for Anderson.

Plus, lets not forget he hasn't won a fight since Oct. 2012.

Which is why I put an "?" there.

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

If it's Silva, I am intrigued, but he won't be able to stop the takedowns. A prime Spider against DC would be interesting, even though I would heavily favor Cormier in that fight as well.

 

[dream]

Anderson had his gallbladder removed like 7 weeks ago, mang.

 

[AmaterasuOni]

What if it's GSP.

I know it's not, but what if it is.

It's not. GSP is going after the Olympic medals.

 

[alr1ght]

I don't believe Dana for a second. It's probably not true, but ignore Uncle Dana.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

For 2010 Anderson? Sure

For 2016 Anderson? Naw

ariel helwani will pay for this! that goof!

We are talking about the dude who said just hours before UFC 199 said the reports about Brock were not true.

 

[Heel]

I almost hope it's Anderson Silva so I can laugh at the idea of this being a "sport" one more time.

 

[PaulKersey]

IF the Silva fight happened and IF he managed to beat Cormier... it'd be pretty freaking nuts.

 

[VoxPop]

I almost hope it's Anderson Silva so I can laugh at the idea of this being a "sport" one more time.

Would you rather not laugh and have him fight Ryan Bader?

 

[iLLmAtlc]

we're on the edge of our seats, this is promoting 101

 

[Levito]

Don't take the bait.

But hey Michael Bisping is fucking champ.

The news say that it's gonna be a non-title match.

And after the last fights of Anderson, I don't know if he could beat any of this LHW fighters

 

[Heel]

Would you rather not laugh and have him fight Ryan Bader?

Hell no. Bring on The Spider, the guy who hasn't won since 2012, to let these folks know what they're watching.

Sports Entertainment, behbeh.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

I'm curious to see the next UFC embedded...

 

[Levito]

It's either going to be a stupid hype fight like Anderson or someone at heavyweight. 3 days notice is not enough time for all parties involved to put on a real title fight.

 

[zewone]

The belt being on the line would be the most intriguing to me.

I don't think DC is a very exciting fighter, so at least some stakes involved would be nice.

The "biggest show eva" being carried by a guy who's 0-3-1 in his last 4, and the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion and Mayor of Suplex City. Is there any doubt remaining that this is sports entertainment?

 

[serenewarfare]

One thing I haven't seen many people mention about what Dana said this morning that Meltzer noticed:

Also, when saying how it's virtually impossible the B sample will come back clean, White mentioned two different agents in the A sample test failure. It is possible testing positive for two agents could lead to a suspension longer than two years.

 

[Levito]

Jones was apparently popped for 2 illegal substances, so of course his suspension would be longer than two years.

And the former main event of the show was a rematch of two guys from different weight classes

On pure sporting merit, it would take some incredible mental gymnastics to justify a guy who hasn't won since he fought Stephan Bonnar in 2012 over literally any other fighter.

I'm sure plenty of people will try to jump through that hoop to preserve their perceived sanctity of this three ring circus we call MMA, though.

Ask Steph.


She thinks these are completely different products.

 

[Levito]

Can we please not have this thread turn into MMA vs Pro wrestling again? If you think it's not a sport then that's your prerogative, but that's not what this thread is for.

 

[iLLmAtlc]

this is also a sport where the president lies to espn

but at least they have heebok

 

[dream]

I don't think anyone here really thinks it's a pure sport, Levito.

Yes, let's not turn the Brock Lesnar vs Mark Hunt ppv into MMA vs pro wrestling.

OK, that made me laugh

 

[Fox318]

wear your hoodie

 

[Levito]

That's fine if you feel that way, dream. But it'd be nice if we didn't dissolve into that conversation again.

Yes, let's not turn the Brock Lesnar vs Mark Hunt ppv into MMA vs pro wrestling.

Brock is an MMA fighter too?


wrestlegaf pls

 

[Host Samurai]

Anderson or Gus would be hype as fuck

Gus already said he can't make it, I believe.

Yep, it's the carny code.
