Someone has it right when they listed this forum UFC/MMA,they should have added WWE,to show the joke it is becoming.UFC/MMA/WWE Don't blame the fighters, blame the UFC for their persistent disinterest in running things like an actual sport.

Neversummer Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 What a waste of time when this happens, especially to the opponent. Feel for the opponent when this happens. Cormier was in tears that time JJ was caught with illegal substance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't actually a post so much blaming the fighters as a fan of the sport showing his frustration at what is being organized,which in effect is directed at the UFC Obviously it's money talking on the UFC's part.

Pernell Karl Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) That Khabib cancellation definitely stung, that was the fight i was looking forward to most Was still tender from the last minute Fedor cancellation.. & If anyone tuned into the GSP v Bisping presser, man I didn't realize how much i missed GSP's class. I feel for the middleweight division once again but good for George's legacy regardless Edited March 4, 2017 by Pernell Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 GSP is my favorite of all time but I don't think he'll beat Bisping and if he does, he's got nothing but killers in front of him at 185. Will suck for fans if GSP wins the belt and then retires all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it will happen but it could be written into the contract, that should he win he has to defend the belt x number of times, or forfeit the prize money from the Bisping fight. On the other side of the coin Bisping is wanting to line up his fight with Romero soon after he is victorious over Gsp,should that be the case.

Down by the River Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 At what point do you take another look at AKA and start holding off on matchups with this gym? Khabib: out how many times now? DC: knee injury against Henderson (fought anyway with bad knee); out again for UFC 206 Rockhold: out in 2012; pulled out of his upcoming fight with Jacare Velasquez: out for two+ years Your four biggest names are consistently pulling out.

To me its part of a culture of trying to push things to the max instead of being more tactful. The hardest training, the biggest weight cuts (DC's are probably the worst).

Wonder what the chances are for them to re-schedule and add Ferguson vs Khabib to 210. Would make that another amazing card.

He'd have to do the same extreme weight cut 3 1/2 weeks from now. They were showing a video on UFC where he was in the sauna wearing a special sweat suit, and he pulled the sleeve down and sweat poured out over the cuff. They'll make it another Vegas PPV match. Seats in Vegas go for top dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
