    I think BJ would win that, Total opposite of Hardy, from someone with no ground game to someone like BJ

    Yeah, BJ smashes Johnson all day IMHO!

    The latest UFC insider features a replay of Lesnar and Cain with a camera and mic on JDS in the crowd.
    Impressed they kept it hidden this long, will be useful to hype both JDS, brock and Cain threeway

    Yeah listened to Gareth Davies's podcast and he kept plugging it, said the first two fights were dreadful and it takes a seriously bad fight for him to talk it down.

    Talking of the RIO card, this is what Roy Nelson tweeted yesterday


    Read Royce Gracie will be fighting on the Rio card? Who do you think he should fight and will he be on the juice?


    Bit harsh!!!

    I know he mentioned it a while ago but it looks like Marquart is serious about dropping down to 170. I always thought he looked like one of the biggest and strongest guys in the Middleweight division, so I don't see how he'll be able to cope with the cut. His first opponent is Rumble Johnson so we could see both fighters miss weight for that one. If he's effective however he would be a great addition to the division. I'd love to see Jon Fitch trying to deal with someone that size and strenght.

    Art Jimmerson has popped up on UFCs roster pages : link

    He was the boxer who fought Royce Gracie wearing one boxing glove in UFC 1 and tapped when he was mounted. I can't think of any reason that he would appear on their pages apart from a rematch with Royce...I mean its a current line-up and not some historical thing.. :confused:

    Royce is lined up to fight at UFC Rio so that would probably make sense Art apparantly runs an mma gym now so i guess he has some sort of ground game.

    Surely they can't wheel out Art Jimmerson to fight Royce! That would be an insult to the Brazilian fans who have waited so long for UFC to return.

    But at the same time, they can hardly put Royce back in there with a top guy. He's get mauled!

    I was hoping theyd put him against Sakuraba again, but his ear kinda fell of in his last fight :eek:, Royce would get killed by any of the elite welterweights of today.

    Yeah I saw the Saku fight, it was disgusting!!!

    And you're right about the Elite WW.... I even think most of the mid-level guys would have too much for him!

    They should stick him in against Renzo :P

    I dont think this means that Art Jimmerson is on the payroll again, its a fightmetric thingy, it looks like they have statistics on all the fighters that have fought in the UFC. If you go to Royce's profile, and look at his fight history, you can click on any of the opponents he had, and it givs you the same breakdown and statistics

    Looking at Minoki Ichihara now :D

    He wants money, chances are he is using boxing as a bargaining tool against Coker/Dana for more money.

    Best of luck to him if he tries something else. Strikeforce were talking about having Tyron Woodley as his next opponent. I think it's fair to say that he deserves some more well established opponents like Daley.

    Call it what you wish but there is a motive behind this. Did you say the same about Anderson when he said he was going to move to boxing?

    Depends on scheduling but I hope we see Shogun Vs Rampage again. I feel even if both of them win there next matches they would still need to beat each other before being considered No. 1 Contender.
