[ClevelandSteamer]

whats exciting about a guy who keeps losing to anybody with a pulse?

Hendo a legend and his two fights with Hendo were legendary. Plus, OSP a goonie. All of Shogun fights, somebody gettin the business. Pause.

He didn't get hurt until the 4th.

Not taking shots at Pacman, but he wouldn't have fought with an fractured rib.

Shogun still young. A lot of miles but he's young. I think he's still younger than Randy Couture's first fight.

When you've been in the game for as long as Shogun has and taken the damage that he has, age means very little. In fight years, he's way passed his expiration date.

He was one of my favorite Bellator guys to watch

In a sport like MMA, 3 years is very long and can easily end careers.

Just put sum money up on Yoel. Prob gonna take them winnings and put em on Leites to beat Bisping. Then put all that on Shogun. :aboutbillions:

Shogun is young in terms of age but in fighting years he's damn near eligible for social security.

Interview with Andre 'Dede' Pederneiras (Aldo's coach):

"He cried a lot, he wants this fight so hard, it was an investment from everybody. I was with him most of this afternon. He's devastated, he wants this fight so bad. Now we have to wait until the results come out. Aldo is in a lot of pain"

Dedé says he's known Aldo for ten years and never saw the guy leave the gym because of pain.

"He ended the round in a lot of pain. He didn't stop after the shot, he waited for the round to end and then said he couldn't go on. That was the first time he did this. He got beat up a lot in here and never did this"

"Andy Souwer (2 time K1 champ) came to spend 15 days in Brazil and did only three minuted of sparring with Aldo. It's complicated. We brought this guy from Netherlands. Aldo was focused on training. That's something that we are sad about, even more when you're watching the guy improve every week. There was never a fractured rib in my gym. Nobody ever broke anyone's rib here during MMA training. Another injuries happened, but I don't remember anything like this. These things happen. God wants it this way and there's nothing we can do"

"If that's really a broken rib, Aldo is gonna have to stop for three or four weeks doing nothing until he is well enough to do only exercises that won't force his rib. With that, he would need the regular camp time to fight: a three month camp. I think this fight wouldn't happen before october"

Dis injury to Aldo is exactly what I was talking bout a cpl months ago. This is why reebok deal and the sponsoring ish got implemented. These guys training for 4, 5 months gettin hurt and messin up da money for da ufc. I bet Aldo will still do some signings n media tour host a cpl nite clubs in Brazil and mk sum cash. He still prolly gonna get a cut from his gym money too. Meanwhile ufc is out a headliner after investing so much in marketing.

When these fighters gonna leave to chill, slow down on these intense training. Especially dem Brazilians. They sparring is more heated n dangerous than half these fights we get. Imagine if these fighters had nba or baseball style contracts. Every1 wld be 'injuried' all the time sitting out.
