I could see Cyborg winning her next 10 or so fights and their being a lot of clamour to see a battle of the sexes type fight

Never going to happen, ever, for very obvious reasons.

Ronda almost got there.

No she didn't.

I think holly holm could beat cyborg.

Also has it been confirmed yet if they are fighting ? Ufc 219 is missing a headline act

I love that we're discussing the whether men will fight women, but everybody just skipped over the part of the post suggesting that pro fighters get paid to beat the ****e out of randomers from the crowd

I did think that part was going to be the one that ruffled a few feathers.

Guess we still live in a world where two trained fighters of different gender can't fight each other, but people have no problem with trained fighters kicking lumps outta nobodies as evidenced by good Ol CM Punk/ Rio Ferdinand

cletus

The Rio Ferdinand thing seems to have been in universally panned, although I didn't pay too much attention to it either way. And I agree that C.M. Punk should not have had his first pro fight on a UFC card, but at least he was training, and had he taken a fight on the regional scene could have been matched with somebody similar to Gall

But pulling a random dude out of the audience, no medicals, no idea of training (or lack there of), to fight a pro fighter?

Bully Beatdown was great. I hope Mayhem has found some peace.

Can't see MM fighting him atall, ever. He'll carry on beating cans and padding up the record

Is he really a sh*t stirrer though? It's an allegation constantly fired at him but I just never understand it. He's an excellent journalist and asks questions that people don't like to be asked. Most recently last week, Garbrandt and Bisping had a public war of words, helwani asks about it at a press conference and he's labeled a sh*t stirrer.

Ah Ariel does try to **** stir the odd time, recent example

a real journalist reports the news, Ariel sometimes creates it

ricero

Dana was dead right when he nicknamed him the weasel

Subcomandante Marcos

Im sorry but Randy Brown had been saying those things in interviews in the run up to the fight, Ariel just asked him about it. That's literally his job.

No way will they do a UK Card Feb 24th and then also on March 17th

Does seem strange alright not going to complain though! Maybe Till is just very convincing!

Exactly

I also reckon Dana must have gotten his dates mixed up, couldn't imagine them doing two events in 3 weeks in England

I agree. They'll have this main eventing London.

dashoonage

isnt 24th Feb in Orlando or somewhere?


Hope its march to be honest could make it doable for me!

Mr. Manager

Regardless of when it is, it seems it's happening in the UK. Presumably, as mentioned above, Dana has the dates mixed up and it will headline London.

Was already going to that event anyway but now I'm damn sure going!

Useful.Idiot

I read that Dana said hes moving the Orlando card to the UK just for this fight.

maximoose

Pretty sold on this now, hopefully get confirmation of the dates soon. Feb 24th would suit me lovely was planning on being in London for a gig on 25th anyway, fingers crossed

If (by some minor miracle imo) it's in the UK, it won't be on in London anyway

maximoose

Oh I'm getting confused now too, so he just said moving to UK not London.

Liverpool would be great for it

He's probably wrong anyway

Elias Theodorou dropped into the gym randomly for last night. Sadly, I'm injured so no sparring/rolling.

Zero-Cool

UUUUGGGGHHH The UFC owners realising the real money is still in boxing. I have zero interest in this. If they want to promote boxing cards, fine, but I do not want see boxing matches on mma cards.

They saw how much money was potentially on the table in the MayMac fight, but so did other UFC fighters who subsequently said tey want to box. This gives the UFC the opportunity to allow those fighters to box without breaking contract, and without leaving so much money on the other side.
