think so?

i actually wanna see how high his wrestling is compared to UFC fighters.It does suck because Stephens was gonna be a test for Efrain,now i think when he is able to fight he will fight some debut can.

btw,Amir wtf!!Also I think Bader will lose to Marrero.

thoughts?

My thought is HA! “The Master” Bader will not lose to Marrero. He is a debut can. The guy sucks.

I agree with Amir though, WTF man, is he ever going to fight? And why hasn’t Dolloway got a fight lined up yet? Most everyone else from 92 has a fight scheduled, and he is making his way up.. I don’t like him, but still. I’d like to see him fight, to potentially lose. From Season 7, Matt Brown has been the most impressive so far.

Lastly, I thought Stephens would TKO Efrain, but I wasn’t counting out Efrain. He really has some good wrestling. I hope he does good.

KInda funny to me, Nover was hailed as the next Silva and a young GSP, and he gets to fight Kyle Bradley. lol. Guess they want to bulk his record.

And why is Kyle Bradley in the UFC video game? They said some of the guys are in there because the makers thought they’d be good in the future, but what was the reason for McCully and Bradley? I mean, lol, guess a few cans for the game too. Very realistic!

Bader is going to crush Marrero.

Im not really upset that Efrain is hurt. Yes lil heathen would have been a great test for him, but I think Gleison tibau vs. LIl heathen will be a better fight! so I cant complain.

Isnt Dollaway fighting at UFC 100 undercard? wasnt he supposed to fight Jorge Rivera?

Matt Brown, has a great future ahead of him.

Is Nover fighting at next WEdnesday’s UFN? Televised?

He was supposed to a while back, but it never went through. Rivera is fighting next Wednesday UFN, against a guy I’ve never heard of. Osserneck or something.

Nover is fighting I THINK at 98. Maybe 100.

But yeah, Tibau/Heathen is a good fight. I’m all against baby-ing TUF winners, but Heathen was on the brink of contendership with a win over Lauzon. I think it was a bit of a big introduction. Normally an unknown or a guy whose only had at most 3 fights in the UFC does best as an intro.

After seeing Nick Catone (live I might add) at UFN in Tampa, he woulda gave Amir some trouble. I think the guy is going to stick around for a little while.

yeah I thought matching him up against lil Heathen, was too much too soon. I dont like the babying either, but lIl heathen would be the hardest test that any TUF product has faced, coming out of the show!

u r right, NOver is fighting at 98.

I still have never seen Catone fight, but I will take your word for it…I will try to find some footage to watch on him later in the day.

He seemed real tough from what I saw live. I wasn’t watching the screens during his fight, so dont hold me to it, but he looked pfretty good

Josh Neer was a pretty tough draw for Joe Daddy out of the block.

I was looking forward to the beating Stephens was gonna lay on him

He might have been wet behind the ears on the show but im sure hell look a lot sharper in his stand up next time we see him fight hell only get better in time

He might have been wet behind the ears on the show and relied just on his wrestlin but im sure hell look a lot sharper in his stand up next time we see him fight hell only get better in time
