I'm not really sure whether Anderson is genuinely interested in this match or whether he's having his arm twisted from a contractual standpoint.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Biggest fight ever? People now know who Weidman is, they'll actually buy the PPV...

 

[Slim]

I wonder how much Silva is gonna get paid for this fight.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Out of curiosity how does everybody feel about the way the UFC has been doing their PPV posters as of late? This is the official UFC 166 poster and the UFC 165 poster with Jones/Gustafsson is pretty similar.

 

[Deezy]

Cain/JDS kind of looks like the Rocky 3 end sequence.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

Those posters are really well done. Don't see how anyone can hate on either of them.

So...

Sonnen calls out Wandy
Vitor calls out Chael
Machida calls out Vitor who hasn't accepted so..
Machida calls out Chael
Phil Davis calls out Chael

I'd be down for Chael/Wandy and Vitor/Machida.

 

[Slim]

Phil needs to sit his butt down. His boring self.

I'd much rather see Wandy/Chael since that's been a fight that's been called out for quite a while. Vitor/Chael would be rather fun to watch as well. But yeah Vitor/Machida. Machida won't be able to elude Vitor for too long cause he won't be swinging for the fences like Henderson going for the head. Plus Machida won't be able to just try to squeak by with a win like his last fight.

So yeah... Wandy/Chael and Vitor/Machida.

make it happen Uncle Dana

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Two very good fights. Chael - Wandy has been rumored/hyped for a long, long time now and Vitor - Machida would be a great fight in its own right. Vitors aggression matched with technique versus Machida's elusiveness and technique. Vitor wont just close his eyes and throw wild hooks like Hendo, meaning Machida cant just circle and jab.

 

[Slim]

Id' hope that Vitor can connect and KO Machida sending him further down the top 10. This Vitor needs a title shot.

Stefan Struve's career in jeopardy after being diagnosed with a leaking aortic valve and enlarged heart.

 

[Slim]

Oh wow. Hopefully that can be corrected.

 

[Troy]

Stefan Struve's career in jeopardy after being diagnosed with a leaking aortic valve and enlarged heart.

That is terrible. One of my favourite fighters so I hope he can get it sorted and if everything goes well return to the octagon. Still so young at only 25.

Breaking - the November 30 #TUF18 finale will feature the rubber match between @NateDiaz209 and @GrayMaynard

 

[Deezy]

Didn't realize UFC counts exhibition fights as wins now.....lol rubber match. Hope that Gray just holds him down for the entire fight.
