Ya I thought it was a UFC/WME practice to have to have a title fight on a PPV card. Mad when more people would probably buy it if it was nate v dustin non title over the sham one they are proposing just to have a title fight

That can't be true. 196 had McGregor - Diaz as the headliner even though Holm - Tate was on the same card.

Different commissions though - New York (230) vs Nevada (196).

Although I don’t think it’s a rule either, more a ridiculous UFC preference.

Yeah, but he's using the example of UFC 200 which had Tate - Nunes headline over DC - Silva to prove his point which also took place in Nevada. Given that I thought he meant in general as opposed to a New York specific thing.

Why have Bellator been able to have non-title 3 round bouts as headliners over title fights so?

Not saying you're wrong, but it seems strange?

Fair point. My initial thought was that Belator sometimes uses slightly backwater states. (Kimbo v Ken in Missouri).
But 196 as pointed out above was in Vegas.

5 round main events were approved by NSAC around 2010. There were conditions around it, I thought that was one of them. Maybe it was removed as the rolled out 5 rounds some mains to all mains.
Or maybe it was never the rule.

Ah here. If they'd actively been trying to **** it up they couldn't have done a worse job ffs

i like that fight but its a tough on for RDA.

also thats a better headline fight for 230 than the shevsenko fight

EagererBeaver · 03-10-2018 10:47pm

Tried to post another one about the women's flyweight and cocked it up.

Presumably by having backup, they mean if Eubanks falls out they can still have Shevchenko batter someone for a belt, but what happens if Shevchenko herself falls out? Would they run Eubanks Vs Chookagian for the title as the main event at msg?!

Fair play to the balls on them if they do, because that will be the beginning of the end of the UFC.

Chael would say that because he's been telling us for weeks that he GUARANTEEs Jon would headline msg.

He also said that Valentina v Eubanks is a great main event for it and any fan that disagrees hasn't a clue.

The man's a clown.

I love Chael but agree with everything you said. He also said Colby is getting another interim title shot. Chaps a mad man but I love him to bits. West Linn gangster. Hope he wins the HW tourney

Outlaw Pete · 04-10-2018 3:57am

Yeah, like him too, but agree.... and he's been ramping up that side of his persona ever since signing up with ESPN too (for that Ariel & The Bad Guy show).

Even your welcome has become very gossipy I suppose is the word to use. Obivously you take Chael with an ounce of salt but you could tell alot of the time what he genuinely believed or didn't, now it's a free for all. Talking some bollox lately.

Still an absolute king. Brazil's most wanted. They just play in the dirt.

Crazy how he's undefeated.

dulux99 · 04-10-2018 7:54pm

I take everything Chael says with a pinch of salt. Its a part of his charm.

Ultimate Seduction · 04-10-2018 9:08pm

5 years ago you'd have been crazy to say the "biggest fight in history"© would be between two European lads.

Dana said he is listening to the fans and will try make Diaz v Poierier a 5 round main event for Msg

I hope he realises that he actually doesn't have to try very hard

Fromvert · 04-10-2018 10:04pm

Dana going to Nate and asking him to main event MSG and the fight is now 5 rounds will be met with Nate screaming show me the money and PPV points. Which Dana will very likely say no to.

No he didn't. It was on Instagram. He was replying to a comment completely un related but on Instagram you only see the more popular users comments so it looked like he was.

He actually told the fans who weren't happy on the same post to "go **** yourself idiots and return your tickets"

He said "done" in the presser last night

Nate signed a 3 rd fight imagine how it be to get him sign a 5 rd fight...it'll cost

Subcomandante Marcos · 05-10-2018 1:49pm

I've been paying no attention to BJJ lately. Who are the teams? Renzos, p10 hq, Polaris? Who else?

10thPlanet. Geo and Richie Martinez
Polaris. Gregor Gracie, Dan Strauss, Craig Jones, Marcin Held and Vitor Riberio
Sakuraba Team. Sakuraba. Josh Barnett. Roberto Satoshi
No Renzo team. Gordon is competing with Alpha Male. Uriah Faber. Munch (Who was kicked out of Marcelo's with Danis) is on that team too.

Theres 5 guys per team. Those are the guys I know. Some good potential matches.

Craig v Gordon
Gordon v Josh
Geo v Craig/Marcin
