shogun wouldve been a great addition..to bad hes fighting in abu dhabi. machida? T Silva?stack it up dana
Wand, Anderson, Nogs, Vitor, JDS...
so many possibilities for the Brazil card. I’d like to see Chael on this card it would be such an easy sell after the crap he spewed about Brazil and you know he eats that stuff up. Chael vs Wand, doesn’t make much sense as far where each sits in the division but it would be a cool grudge match and it might make sense since his layoff. Thoughts?

Just allow some knees and soccer kicks and book that one...

Yeah, but we don't have to buy PPVs everytime
The fanbase is already pretty solid and they all sign up a channel that broadcasts all the fights.
We do deserve more, but Dana doesn’t see a need for expansion as large as in europe venues.

Their gonna stack the he'll out of that card.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

i cant even imagine this lineup
silva, aldo, wandy, shogun, machida, big nog, vitor…every fight on the main card could potentially be a main EVENT on another…ridiculous

unless they match up some of these guys AGAINST each other
which doesnt seem too likely, we could potentially see and combination of wandy, machida, and/or minotauro on spike…this has got me more pumped than anything mma related in a while

if you thought machida fucked rashad up
wait till shogun is finished. i cant wait to see rashad out cold again. its been toooo long
I like shogun a lot
But I like rashad more. I’m sure he’ll just wrestle his way to a decision but if by some chance he gets a ko. Suga haters will probably never hear the end of it from me

Let's not forget about the cracked rib...

he didnt have a cracked rib
when lutter mounted his ass with the most predictable take down attempts ever. His L is coming, but in the mean time lets make excuses why he looked like shit in his last 3 out of 4 fights
srry infinite
lets not get carry way and forgot that Silva did not respect his stand up and and that Chael cheated as well so Siva via KO first min
Sonnen Hows the McDonald's Black belt ?
im trying to think
this could be silva sonnen potentially since the suspension got reduced, and if it does happen to be silva okami, then it could be vitor vs. sonnen…aldo defending the belt against idk hominick maybe?…shogun vs. rampage potentially, after he beats rashad in abu dhabi…this could be wandy leben finally too…big nog vs. big country possibly???…wow maybe even machida vs. jon jones, assuming he beats bader which isnt guaranteed, but even machida bader wouldnt be a bad fight…this is absurd lol

I Know I seem to be in the minority
of people here who loves flyweights. But damn I think this is the chance to really push the smaller weight classes. Jose Aldo as a headliner with the first ever 125 pound champion being announced and one of those particpants is Jussier Da Silva who fought last night at Tachi Palace.
I'm fond of flyweights
But are there enough to justify a UFC flyweights division?
Anderson Silva will fall via brutal Republican dry-humping.
by Johnny WF on Dec 3, 2010 6:20 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Yes absolutely
Joseph Benavidez, Charlie Valencia and Demetrious Johnson are three UFC flyweights fighting under BW but in addition to that there are many more fighters like John Dodsen, Pat Runez, M-16, Abel Cullum and a host of others. The BW division only has 20 fighters. A flyweight division wouldn’t need many.
I wrote a blog about this on BE if you’re interested.

Abel Cullum isnt a 125er. His brother is.
And yeah there are so many more too. Link your blog so its easier for the guys to find. I wrote one as well. Check it out.

ANS, did you have any chance to catch some brazilian Flyweights competing in regional promotions?
Some of these guys have pretty good technical level and I think it would be a nice adition to maybe an undercard if the flyweight division is already up by then.

Hey that's a nice blog you got there.
And somewhere I forgot that Abel is a 135’r, which I did know at one point. You can thank KOTC’s different division titles for that.

Yeah thats confusing and frustrating. But if you like 125ers and you like Abel Cullum then you should try and watch his little bro fight. I believe he is 2-0 professional and his BJJ is slick. He took a guy standing from a single collar tie in a blink of an eye one time that was crazy.

Mania trip, anyone?
Maybe the first international one (unless Canada counts)
