AmScray 355 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 http://sports.yahoo.com/news/roy-nelson-contemplates-white-pride-132456947.html Seriously, he's my #2 favorite fighter behind E Silva. Link to post Share on other sites
AmScray 355 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Interesting to see how Connor does against a real test. If be breezes this one, he may be a Weidman type. Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 If he dominates Poirier it will be interesting. I think I've already mentioned this but from what I've seen he is pretty damn good, but I'm worried about these great wrestlers like Bermudez and Mendes. I think the UFC knows this and will probably try to avoid those matchups (which will be hard if Mendes wins the title). If McGregor and Aldo win I think a McGregor/Aldo matchup in Ireland would be the best thing ever. Actually if Aldo wins or loses that would still work. Link to post Share on other sites
AmScray 355 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 The line isn't very certain. McGregor has the momentum but Poirier is a rather scary bad-ass who's been derailed at inopportune times but is a very scary and legit bad-ass. What ever happened to Chan Sung Jung, by the way? I lost a pile of money on that fight between him and Poirier. Bermudez is riding 7 (I think and too lazy to look it up) which has to be one of the- if not *the* - best streak in the UFC right now away from Jones and maybe Aldo (?). The Jury bet about brought me back to even after the Overeem affair. He has to be in line for at least a contendership fight, if not getting a shot at Pettis next as it is.

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I will find those fights on Saturday. If Cerrone wins, Scram is gonna self mutilate. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Crap, Weidman hurt, Hendricks Lawler 2 headline 181 155, 170, 185 and HW got that injury bug Link to post Share on other sites
AmScray 355 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 What a card so far though. Hendricks/Lawler, Pettis/Melendez, Browne/Schaub, Gian Villante (who I like) v Corey Anderson, the return of Todd Duffee... Link to post Share on other sites

king_tanner 84 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 They should move the men's 125 division to Invicta Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I was randomly looking at fighters on Wikipedia and ran across Jake Shields' record. I realize that he is a boring fighter, but look at his record and the people he has beat!! He should have not been cut!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
AmScray 355 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 The problem was he was getting paid way too much for being such a boring fighter. His record demanded he get paid but he wasn't an asset to the company since he had no real fan base and his fights were awful to watch. The UFC is completely correct to be taking this strategic direction. Might not be fair to good, boring fighters who view UFC as the apotheosis of achievement in MMA (which it is) but at the end of the day its still a business. I actually think Bellator and WSOF make huge strategic errors by taking in UFC culls. Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I'm getting caught up in this nsac stuff. They come off even more retarded than the NFL. Are they some kind of law enforcement? Giving community service to jon jones and DC just seems ridiculous. And fining Wanderlei for 70k and banning him for life wtf? If he can't fight anymore why does he have to give them 70k? Again if they aren't law enforcement I don't see how they can do that. And holy shit at Nike terminating Jones' sponsorship because of the scuffle. That seems kind of extreme. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I'm sure Nike wasnt seeing an uptick in that area so took tbeir opportunity to cut bait They JUST released Oscar Pistorious Link to post Share on other sites
mrfritz 888 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I think jones is affiliated with some other random sneaker resale company. Conflict of interest I guess. At least that's what Twitter told me. Link to post Share on other sites

Sports branding, the basic idea is to associate your brand in the minds of consumers with positive and exciting feats of athletic achievement. They want this. The worst case scenario is this.

king_tanner 84 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Small bets on Cowboy, Kennedy, and Poirier Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I may buy this one only because I HATE sitting at a bar and not drink or eat for 3 hours, and right now, I can't drink booze or eat bar food. And because it's a solid card. On the flip side, the place I would go has Hooters-Esque unis, only sluttier. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
AmScray 355 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Thompson should probably get a contendership fight next. WW is a clogged mess but he's standing out. I hate technical point fighters but he's pretty talented. Great free undercard. Link to post Share on other sites
AmScray 355 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Very late stoppage in the Cruz fight. Awful. That aside, good to see DC still dominant. LOL "Alpha Fails". Link to post Share on other sites

JubilantLankyLad 1,957 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Very late stoppage in the Cruz fight. Awful. Yep. The only reason Mizugaki didn't "faceplant" earlier is because Cruz kept banging his head back up with his fist. Link to post Share on other sites

I hate technical point fighters but he's pretty talented. Great free undercard. He needs to throw more combos, not just one sneak punch and out Link to post Share on other sites

AmScray 355 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I'm a believer that refs should always err on the side of stoppage in marginal situations. I lose the right to bitch about early stoppages, but I'll have a big "I Told You So" coming when the UFC finally gets its Duk Koo Kim. Link to post Share on other sites
