Arjen Robben Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Well he did say if he's not fighting Conor he's off on vacation, so I guess he won't be taking any other fight. I guess he just feels like there's nobody else worth taking a fight with right now when there's no payday quite like McGregor for him, and he takes quite a big period of time with fights usually as it is anyway before he fought McGregor so without that second big payout he's probably in no rush to fight anyone else at the moment..

Chris2K Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I've just seen the card for UFC 198 and I was amazed, then I looked at 199 and 200 as well and here's a list of fighters scheduled for those three cards. Fabricio Werdum, Stipe Miocic, Anderson Silva, Vitor Belfort, Mauricio Rua, Jacare Souza, Cris Cyborg, Demain Maia, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (Little Nog), Luke Rockhold, Chris Weidman, Dominick Cruz, Urijah Faber, Dan Henderson, B.J. Penn, Jon Jones, Daniel Cormier, Jose Aldo, Frankie Edgar, Miesha Tate, Cain Velasquez, Diego Sanchez, Johny Hendricks, Gegard Mousasi and Takanori Gomi. There's 19 current or former UFC or Strikeforce champions in that list. NINETEEN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 That's a pretty broad criteria, though. I mean Rafael Cavalcante is a former Strikeforce champion :/ It's got names on it that MMA fans will recognize, though, which is a good thing for the UFC.

Gazz Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Doubt it's the hair, in the 11 fights he's fought since Fedor, that's the 7th time he's been stopped in the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 The BBC were covering this online as part of their BBC Three deal with UFC. It was quite strange to me to see a BBC Live Text page get regularly updated with tweets from Dave Meltzer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonM Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) If you ain't Dutch, you ain't much! Three fights, three stops, only four rounds between all three of them. And as a Dutchman I found the crowd reactions to be goosebump inducing, so great to see the Dutch fans show up in droves, and hopefully this means more future events in The Netherlands. And Bigfoot is such a tool, gets dropped by a knee, turtles like a scrub and gets seven uncontested elbows to the side of the head until the ref steps in, and he still moans about a bad stoppage. Love the cockiness of the Reem, and he really looks on a whole different level after going through the whole failed drug test and suspension, and the couple of bum losses. Can't wait to see him hopefully get the title shot, and well... see him potentially defend it next year in Amsterdam. PS: GUNNI!!!

Benjamin Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Not a fun day if you're a UFC legend; Anderson Silva is off Saturday's card and has to undergo gall bladder surgery, and Siver, BJ Penn's opponent for UFC 199, is out of that fight. They're looking for a replacement fight for Baby Jay now. Also, Dana has denied that the UFC is for sale, but it's really interesting because of what Dalian Wanda have been doing since last year. Also, the Fertittas did just announce the purchase of the Palms last week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forky Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Who in the hell expected that Title change last night? After it seemed like Werdum stepped up his stand up game, I didn't expect him to get caught like he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
