Benjamin Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Huh, Norman Parke is out of his fight with Sanchez. Wonder if they'll put Connor in as a replacement, though Dana just said he's probably next in line for a title shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Why of all people pick a fight with someone that's as bad as Diego Sanchez? 1. Sanchez has been calling him out / bad mouthing him. 2. McGregor is a power puncher. Sanchez is an immobile punching bag. There's only going to be one winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 In other news, Cody McKenzie (he of the guillotine fame) is fighting in a one night, eight man middleweight tournament, the one that JR and Chael Sonnen are commentating on. Despite fighting at Featherweight in the UFC, he missed the 171lb limit, weighing in 172.4lbs. So he went and gave blood, came back and made 171.

Should've shaved off the beard, that would've cost him a couple of lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, I meant Sanchez has horrible stand up defense in comparison and I don't expect him to last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieG Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 The guy hasn't been stopped since 2009 when the doctors called it, he's never actually been knocked out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazz Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 It'll happen eventually and then he'll go the way of Liddell, Wand etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but he still hasn't been stopped, so your statement of "he won't last long" doesn't really hold any ground, as of yet, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 That's the part you're focusing on? He's gonna get the shit kicked out of him either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeJam Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Looks like Josh Burkman is back in the UFC and is scheduled to fight Hector Lombard at UFC 182. I always thought he deserved a second chance at the UFC, but I'm sad to see WSOF lose another fighter in less than a week. Especially one of their bigger names.

Chris2K Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Gunnar Nelson lost his first fight tonight after getting beaten up by Rick Story. It's kinda disappointing when yet another European prospect gets shown up. The judges scores were fun, one gave it 50-44 to Story, another gave it 48-47 to Nelson, and the other 49-46 which was actually correct.

Benjamin Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 He'll improve. He's got an amazing grappling base, just needs to get his striking and fight IQ up to that level too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Mayhem's been arrested, after a standoff with police at his house for refusing to cooperate and come out when they notified him they have a warrant for his arrest. There are 3 felony charges, including alleged stalking. Also Mayhem live tweeted it. You can read them all here: http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/10/9/6953317/jason-mayhem-miller-live-tweets-reported-standoff-with-police It was only a matter of time before this happened again (he's been arrested like twice before since he retired, one time for domestic abuse and the other for breaking into a church of all places), Mayhem is really, really sick, and probably needed some form of help a long time ago.

Forky Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 So apparently Chan Sung Jung won't be back for two years due to mandatory military service for South Korea. He's been plagued with injuries since last year but still, I was hoping to see him fight again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 He's young, only 27, so hopefully he'll be back. He'll probably never be top flight again though, which kinda sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Other people have still done things in the military and been top level, just look at Kennedy and Stann, not saying you're wrong, just saying that it may make him a smarter fighter.

Benjamin Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yeah, I hope I'm wrong, just that considering he's already been out for a year, he'll be gone for two more and the landscape will be vastly different after. Kennedy and Stann did the bulk of their active duty before they went pro, too, and they could also fight while they served during their leave days. I don't know if South Korea's system allows that. Just think there's a high chance the sport would have passed him by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
