His first fight won't be a title fight.........unless JDS or Cain is injured

His 2nd fight could be a title shot

 

[ldcommando]

Reem vs Mur maybe?

Who else is available?

 

[AiTM]

Stop blaming the snitching on Jones motherfuckas, rampage said he thinks it happened with Evans too

i dont think thats why everyone calls him a snitch. i think i remember seeing somewhere he tattled on some pot smokers lol.

I want to see Overeem Carwin. One of those lugs is going to sleep.

he snitched on some of his college classmates who were smoking weed to the cops. he's proud of doing it too.

can't blame that on rashad.

 

[polyh3dron]

Dana White and Alistair Overeem are both currently here in LA right now.

IT'S THE FUCKING REEM, IT HAS TO BE

 

[polyh3dron]

holy fuck, Big Poppa Schnake, the in-cage announcer from King Of The Cage, died on Monday at the age of 37, same age as Shawn Tompkins.

RIP

Was the same day Jake Shields dad Jake died... Or they were reported at the same time.

 

[yacobod]

And yet the last time we got the UFC in Chicago, it was the fucking Silva/Cote bullshit.

Smh, Dana...

TRUTH. i don't get why dana and co. keep going back to these small shitty markets, and completely ignores the 3rd largest market in the US.

It's BOOSHEET!

I want another chance to boo everyone I see again!

 

[Maklershed]

The Fox card definitely has to involve Tito. He's a big draw to the casual fan without sacrificing missed sales for a PPV.

Maybe it´s the rumored Ortiz vs franklin match.

 

[Maklershed]

Whoa! Douglas Lima was signed by Bellator? And he's fighting next week? Sweet!

 

[BigKaboom2]

Mir beats Overeem or Carwin 9 times out of 10.

Bellator signs Cosmo Alexandre (kickboxer): http://mmajunkie.com/news/25055/bellator-inks-world-kickboxing-champ-cosmo-alexander.mma

He's gonna get wrestled.

 

[Jake.]

overeem would destroy mir. as usual, people forget what year we are in. again, would bet my account on it - feel free to save all of these quotes. so far i bet my account on:

1. jones beating rampage (fight is already going to take place).
2. jones beating rashad (fight will take place eventually).
3. overeem beating mir (fight will hopefully happen soon).

guaranteed.

 

[Chamber]

It's BOOSHEET!

Well, the Rio crowd chanted "You'll die!" at weigh-ins and booed guys for speaking English and they got praised as the greatest crowd of all time so I think we should get another shot.

I missed that ppv because I was on vaction in arizona, was the crowd that bad? I know that ppv card was pretty awful tho.

I'll take mir over reem anytime, his hw resume is miles better. Wins over sylvia, kongo, lesnar, big nog, cro cop, big country is a lot better than wins over cans in k1 and japan.

 

[Jake.]

yeah, mir's record is (alot) better but its 2011 - the du is done.

 

[ldcommando]

I would not mind seeing mir getting smashed or the reem getting subbed. As long it is a good fight.

 

[BigKaboom2]

yeah, mir's record is (alot) better but its 2011 - the du is done.

He's one year older than Overeem and has 27 fewer fights.

 

[BigJonsson]

20 minutes!!!!!

 

[Heel]

Anyone have a link? Is it a press conference or a conference call?

 

[Chamber]

Just a conference call.

I'm bracing for the bitter disappointment of Tito vs Rich.

 

[Heel]

I'm gonna stick with my Cain vs. Junior idea.

 

[BigJonsson]

Liddel vs Tito

Thats my scary guess

 

[RBelong2Us]

Selling people on old fighters would not be a good idea

 

[BigJonsson]

CAIN VS JDS


EPICTON

 

[dem]

Cain vs JDS??

Fucking awesome

 

[polyh3dron]

JDS vs. Cain on Fox CONFIRMED by Dana

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

 

[Heel]

MMA Junkie Radio has the conference call streaming.

They announced Velasquez vs. Dos Santos on FOX.

 

[BigJonsson]

So 2 free title fights in the coming months?

Wicked

 

[Heel]

A two fight card just turned into a one fight card, haha.

 

[sazabirules]

So what is going to be the main event for 139 now?

 

[Chamber]

MMA Junkie Radio has the conference call streaming.

[BigJonsson]

Only one fight

LOL what

 

[reggieandTFE]

It's pretty insane to read the first page of this thread.

 

[Panzon]

Good call

 

[dream]

overeem would destroy mir. as usual, people forget what year we are in.

I think you're forgetting what country we're in.

 

[AiTM]

I dont know about the mainstream appeal of Cain and JDS...great fight though, but no one outside of MMA fans know these names. Hopefully people watch.

 

[Heel]

Dana is echoing my "MMA isn't mainstream" argument from a few weeks ago perfectly. If you have to explain the sport to someone, you aren't mainstream.

 

[Chamber]

So what is going to be the main event for 139 now?

Faber vs Bowles

Smell the buyrates.

 

[BigKaboom2]

That fight would have gotten no buys on PPV, not sure why they want it on this show. Either going to be a quick knockout for JDS or five rounds of LnP by Cain - leaning toward the latter.

I was hoping for Tito vs. Franklin.

 

[Heel]

With Dana hesitating to announce a fight for San Jose, I'm guessing it involves signing Hendo or Overeem.

 

[dream]

Look, I'm all about personalities and angles and character development but I think there's a certain cachet that comes with a world heavyweight championship fight. It just sounds like a big deal and sometimes the title is more important than the people fighting for it.

 

[BigKaboom2]

I think there's a certain cachet that comes with a world heavyweight championship fight.

Well yeah, but heavyweight boxing champions of the past didn't often weigh in at 245 lbs and gas out in under 4 minutes.

Smh...

Dream is right. Casual fans love watching big guys throw bombs and there's a certain prestige factor involved with the Heavyweight title.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Damn this is HUGE for fox and the UFC. Dana and the UFC really putting his money where his mouth is after ripping Arum last week.

It's not just the heavyweight title thing, they are putting a budding superstar in Cain on free tv, and he targets a potentially massive fight fanbase that the UFC has had it's sights set on for a while. This could pay off big for them if Cain wins and wins big.

 

[Chamber]

Well yeah, but heavyweight boxing champions of the past didn't often weigh in at 245 lbs and gas out in under 4 minutes.

This is Cain vs Dos Santos. Not James McSweeney vs Christian Morecraft.

 

[BigKaboom2]

Smh...

Not that we'll ever know, but that fight would have drawn a much bigger rating.

This is Cain vs Dos Santos. Not James McSweeney vs Christian Morecraft.

JDS gasses out in every fight and Cain had to lay on Kongo for 12+ minutes because every time the fight was standing he got immediately rocked.
