Essential The Official MMA Thread

Tbh I never even knew there were serious talks, it just seemed like a social media back and forth about who is getting tested more.

Ps how exactly do fights go dead for financial reasons in the UFC? For it to get to the stage where the fight is tentatively scheduled wouldn't the contracts have been signed?

They better not book aldo/holloway 2, blessed has nothing to prove and aldo should really move to LW..

 

[jackswstd]

Edgar and Cruz out. Give Cub the shot at Max.

Ps bro she is already coming up with excuses not to grant joanna an immediate rematch. Sure she looked like shyt and gender fluid could maybe have her number but in what world does a x5 defending champion not deserve an immediate rematch (if they are demanding it). This sport man

UFC 217: 2017's Best Card @storyteller

I guess the UFC released him from his remaining fights, and they probably had no interest in Rampage. I would not be surprised to see Chael vs Rampage

When was he signed to the UFC except that one off with Fabio?

He said on the MMA hour that he had an existing contract with them last month

who could blame them that contract kerfuffle was a bad look for them and it's not like rampage is worth the bother. Lol at bellator stocking up on trash though. I wonder how much money they threw at bader, dude ain't even trying to be a draw.

I guess this is why they brought him back:



Chael as a heavyweight?! I'll still watch this, even though this is a very washed and flabby list of contestants

So these are the 8 dudes in the tournament:

• Chael Sonnen
• Ryan Bader
• Rampage Jackson
• Fedor
• Roy Nelson
• Frank Mir
• Matt Mitrione
• King Mo

I just realized they left Cheick Kongo out of this, Cheick is so boring Coker didn't even bother to book him

I get why they didn't book Lashley though, he's making money with Anthem...somehow.

Wonder why they left out Kharitonov though.

Lol could easily see mitrione winning
