It's awful if true but Dana White exaggerating/lying?? Well I never....

Just watched beyond the octagon from a week ago with them interviewing manuwa and gustafsson. My god they are more than useless. The inane questions were so cringey and terrible.
Dan hardy is pretty decent on the programme.

p to the e

Dan Hardy did an Ask Me Anything thing on Reddit.

There's the other side. Your judgement?

Is Brock coming back or was overeem mistaken?

OrgasmicBaz

I doubt Brock will ever come back, He's in a story line now in WWE which will lead up till Wrestlemania. So his contract might be up after that. Be interesting to see what happens in the next few weeks

How can someone who doesn't like to be hit in the face, who ensures his sparring partners don't hit him in the face, want to come back to MMA, it baffles me how people think he'll be back.

JJayoo

More likely Overeem wants to make some big money in the wwe.

OrgasmicBaz

Fatal 4 way match

Lesnar, Overeem, Batista & Bobby Lashley :P

MrStuffins

Oh wow!

Anthony Johnson is back in the UFC.

He's fighting Phil Davis at UFC 172. A good match up IMO.

Let's just hope he makes weight!

delighted he's back but i'd like to have seen him come

awful tough fight to come back to though

Mr. CooL ICE

Will Chope vs Diego Brandao confirmed. A TUF winner is a big step up for somebody who is 0-1 in the UFC

Oh my, Thiago Silva, what have you done now?

Jaysus!!!

He always was a bit of a head banger tho

p to the e

He's certainly not the best fighter in the UFC but he's definitely the scariest looking. Rumours abound that his wife was having an affair with Poppovitch. We'll see whether it was true or not. I'd say he's looking at some serious jail time.

OrgasmicBaz

Looks like he will be palling with Josh Rosenthal soon

Maybe Josh can "prescribe" something to mellow Silva out a bit...

You need balls to have a standoff with a swat team, saying that you have to have bigger balls to bang Thiago's wife:eek:

Popovitch is a bit animal himself.

Lads how come the Ufc is not on BT tonight ? Is it because of this Fight Pass ? Continuing to pay for BT sports when they don't have every event is becoming less desirable now.

UFC isn't till next week.

Hoki

That could be it alright

Dtp1979

Hate when that happens

Mattyz69

UFC sign EFC Heavyweight champ Ruan Potts on a 6 fight deal.

Big opportunity for him, lets hope he can deliver and keep the division interesting.

Bodes well to Henry Fadipe if he can get the title and get a couple more wins under his belt!!!

OrgasmicBaz

Just after been looking at the UFC schedule there, its going to be a very busy few weeks. They have 6 cards over the next 6 weeks

UFC 171 card stands out from the rest

Welterweight Johny Hendricks vs. Robbie Lawler
Welterweight Carlos Condit vs. Tyron Woodley
Lightweight Diego Sanchez vs. Myles Jury
Welterweight Jake Shields vs. Hector Lombard
Light Heavyweight Ovince St. Preux vs. Nikita Krylov
Welterweight Kelvin Gastelum vs. Rick Story
Women's Bantamweight Raquel Pennington vs. Jessica Andrade
Featherweight Dennis Bermudez vs. Jimy Hettes
Welterweight Sean Spencer vs. Alex Garcia
Lightweight Renee Forte vs. Frank Trevino
Flyweight Will Campuzano vs. Justin Scoggins
Middleweight Robert McDaniel vs Tor Troeng
Featherweight Daniel Pineda vs. Robert Whiteford

MrStuffins

Is that the running order? If so, Sanchez v Jury looks very out of place on the Main Card.

dave1982

big fight for Woodley, winning that gets him a title shot?

Sad to see Hendricks fighting for a vacant title, probably won't mean as much to him now if wins against Lawler.WW belt would be more about taking it from GSP I think.

OrgasmicBaz

As far as i know yes, but got it from Wikipedia so it can be unrelaible at times
