Aoki vs McKee at Dream 17. I hope McKee's body is ready or else something is gonna get broken.

I'll always root for McKee, even if his style isn't that exciting. Watch this video of him touring his crib and you'll see why. Very likable guy.
 
Finally watched last weekend's Lombard fight. HOLY FUCK @ that KO. And fuck that crowd for being so quick to boo.

My DVR stopped at the end of the 2nd round of Patricky vs Chandler though. Did Patricky gas or something?

Also, lol @ Jeff Monson being a step up for Cormier. SDR would have been a much tougher fight.
 
McKee is scratched from Dream 17 already. I didn't think he was gonna win but I was looking forward to it. It seemed like an interesting match up.

Very cool...hope no one pulls out, the rematch is a long time coming.
Haha, I had a feeling it was too good to be true. According to Eddie Bravo:

Eddie Bravo said:
5 days after accepting rematch Royler now asking for 50k just to show up

I just got off the phone with vice president of ADCC Guy Nievens and he told me that Royler just called him and is now asking for 50k just to show up plus the 25k win bonus.

I have no idea why he's now asking for all that cash up front all of a sudden, 5 days after agreeing to the rematch and after doing interviews for Atame and Gracie Mag saying that "Lightning doesn't strike the same place twice".

ADCC is refusing to pay the 50k show money.

So my business manager is gonna set up a Royler relief paypal account asap. If 5,000 people donate just $10 the rematch is on.

Who's down?
 
Wow, Royler is a bitch.

Also, BJ should do the fight with Jake but only 3 rounds. BJ will gas in a 5 rounder with Jake, hell, he gassed in the 3rd against Fitch.

Wouldn't be surprised if Monson submits him in the first round.

Far and away Cormier's biggest test to date. It's gonna be tough setting up a north-south choke though, haha. I could see a decision going his way.

I like both these guys, but they need to go to 205. I know Monson has been talking about it for a while now. Cormier sent himself to the hosptial cutting to 211 in the Olympics, so probably not in the cards for him. I just don't see him having success against the monsters of the division with such a small frame.

Yeah I think the five round thing was a bit of a troll by Shields.
 
It continues ..

@jakeshieldsajj - cool dude. I'll see ya there right after I shave with Edge Shaving Gel. Because when we're getting ready to get ready, we get ready with Edge.
 
Bellator 44 did 325,000 viewers initially and 145,000 on the replay. Didn't see that coming; easily the best of the season (36 was the second-best and did only 230,000).
 
Last Saturday's Bellator broadcast on MTV 2 drew 325,000 viewers, making it the second most watched program in the history of the network in Saturday night prime time. The show was headlined by Patricky Pitbull Freire vs. Michael Chandler in the lightweight tournament finals.

Chandler = ratings!
 
I think Jones is actually 14 years old: http://www.fightersonlymagazine.co.uk/news/viewarticle.php?id=6851
“I saw Jon this past week at the fighter summit and we were at the same location. He pulled me to the side and he said 'Rashad, I need to talk to you, I think things are getting out of control.' I thought it was pretty mature for the young guy instead of just ignoring me,” Evans recounted on Pro MMA Radio.

“First thing he said was 'I just wanna be the first to tell you is I'm gonna destroy you, I'm gonna annihilate you and I'm gonna show the world you're overrated. I'm gonna punish you and you'll be my first highlight reel knockout' and I just started laughing.”

Wow if true.

Sure does sound like a two faced person. Dude already rubbed me the wrong way with his holier than thou attitude and the fakeness I get from his interviews. I can't wait for someone to smash his face in.



I think he was just fucking around, they're supposed to be friends.

Lighten up.

Yeah, I think Rashad and Jones are both in on this soap-opera drama shit.

Rashad was getting is rightfully pegged as a boring fighter with boring fights. How do you prevent your prize purse from diminishing? Try to set up a 'bad blood' fight like what he did with Rampage.
 
I actually think that, of the three opponents that signed to fight Aoki, No Love is the most interesting stylistically.
 
From Chael Sonnen's CSAC hearing happening right now:

"If I don't get my license today I'm effectively retired. That came from the boss, Dana White." -- Chael Sonnen

Kind of feel bad only because I want to see him fight bisping and silva again. Otherwise, Chael can suck it.

I somehow don't believe him. Even if it is true though, he'll be back in no time.

Shane Nelson has been replaced by Rich Clementi vs. Aoki.

lol japan
It's a revolving door of opponents!
 
Rashad Evans talking Jon Jones: “Jon will put on his Jon Jones hat when he’s in front of the media, but I know Jon Jones. I have more respect for Rampage than I do for Jon. At least Rampage will be like, `this is me, this is what you get.’ He’s straight up, boom. I don’t like that sneaky, sneaky stuff. Jon is like a sneaky snake.” The two apparently had words in Toronto. At the show, both were dressed up in suits and ties, being just about the only people in the stands dressed like that, and they were both in the front row about 10-15 seats down from each other and called each other names at one point. Evans was mad because the outfit Jones wore when he was on “The Tonight Show” after winning the title was the same outfit Evans had worn. Jones claimed it was because he went to the same fashion consultant as Evans while Evans blamed it on Jones trying to copy his look.

This is the best feud ever
 
I don't know who is luckier Sliva or Jones. Cheal gone means Silva doesn't have to piss his pants every time he sees him and Jones' ducking Shad has given him more time with the belt.



just saying.
