Cymbols Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 So what with Thiago Silva being removed from his fight with Ovince St Preux, Nikita Krylov is dropping to 205 as his replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Gilbert Melendez's manager is apparently being a cunt to Dana about Gil signing a new contract. Overeem was offered a five round fight against JDS, then a three round fight with him, but turned both down, because he has an injured rib. Also, Rashad is injured and out of the 170 co-main. Sonnen has of course tossed his hat into the ring to fight DC, and Cormier has also called out Rumble Johnson or any other heavyweight. He basically just wants a fight.

Rich Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 UFC confirm no fighter will replace rashad, Maia vs McDonald is now co main, no fight yet confirmed to move to ppv card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuka's Gonna Kill You Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Gutting that Rashad is out of that one. In other news though, just when you thought you couldn't like this man more than you already did: http://instagram.com/p/jqHTBLJ6eh/?utm_campaign=UFC+Fight+Night%3A+Machida+vs+Mousasi&utm_source=15600&utm_medium=Twitter%3A+ufc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Cormier is now fighting Patrick Cummings. Yeah, I've never heard of him either. He's 4-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Cormier is now fighting Patrick Cummings. Yeah, I've never heard of him either. He's 4-0. 170 might be the first unanimous Pick 'Em event. And apparently this dude got fired from his job at a coffee shop while talking to Dana on the phone. This is like Rocky VI or something.

Chris2K Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 The "MMA underground" say that Cummings is the next Jon Jones. Apparently this can be judged by someone going 4-0. I see Cormer mauling him personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Saw one fight of his, think it was on Daily Motion or something. He's a former NCAA runner-up, so that's something I guess. By the power of Ariel Helwani... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Oh, and I realized that to find this Pat Cummins on YouTube I had to type in MMA as a search keyword as well.

Forky Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I like how the writer of the article claimed that he believed that a lot of people were doing drugs and hadn't got caught, yet still wouldn't name one single person when asked. It's one of those put up or shut up situations and he didn't do either. Also, that fight was horrible. I'm not a fan of Cormier but he's going to need more than that to stand a chance.

Benjamin Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Gilbert Melendez has accepted an offer from Bellator. UFC has the rights to match, however. WSOF has also offered Melendez a contract, apparently, and stated that it's better than Bellator's. Gil should just go to WAR, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanDMan Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I have to say, Dana sounds a lot more robotic than I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 If Melendez signs for either Bellator or WSOF then he can kiss his credibility goodbye. I'm sorry but both of those companies are so far behind the UFC when it comes to both exposure and the standard of opposition in the Lightweight division. He spent so long being called the best Lightweight fighter in the world whilst stuck in the secondary promotions, now he's in the top promotion and doing pretty well, but is still willing to go back to being the big fish in the small pond.

Rich Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 To be honest WSOF is a no go for him if he wants top competition, but Bellator is a good choice if he really wants to leave, with Chandler and Alvarez there there is at least two top level fights and that's before anybody else comes through and gets through a tournament. I think Melendez coming in and winning a couple of fights on the way to a ight against Alvarez/Chandler is exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 It's because the Scrap Pack and the UFC are both extremely hard to play ball with. It's no surprise they can't play with each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Melendez coming in and winning a couple of fights on the way to a ight against Alvarez/Chandler is exciting. Isn't Alvarez leaving after the trilogy? Also, if Gilbert went down to Featherweight it'd be really interesting as well, Bellator's Featherweight division is crazy fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
