u know that is a very interesting point, low key dude basically saved (ronda's) face and the ufc the embarrassment of dragging their feet when the top contender was itching to be signed by them. His last minute "injury" also screwed bellator's maiden voyage to ppv so their is credence to the theory hes a secret agent for zuffa


ps so the younger diaz turned down a fight too huh, these dudes arent even hiding their cowardice anymore how do they still have fans that by their we'll take on all comers act

i really am starting to believe this hatred between dana and tito is all make believe and made up jus for the $$$ and really Tito be calling up Dana late at night laughin all da way to the bank. Dana's got Tito working as a mgr for fighters, and infiltrating other womans and rival organizations.

All dem ppv and tv show ratings made off a fake war, UFC may really be like WWE after all.

that beef that led to tito working on affliction and making a fool of himself was real/The boxing match wasnt even going to be a ufc ppv to my knowledge dana just knew tito's cowardice and called his bluff. Dana/tito's rivalry was never exploited for money tito/shamrock was another story

whats your point, that was in the article so its already been documented.A lot of these fighters like to put it out there like they didnt outright turn down a fight to save face.If the ufc make a call and said fighter doesnt accept for whatever reason zuffa are within their rights to report that as they please

 

[Tommy Knocks]

Silva mos def wants to come back.

I just dont understand why tho but once I hear a fight is set up, I'll be excited again as per usual.

 

[Tommy Knocks]

so let me get this straight. Mark Hunt not only fought a big ass Silva with a broken hand, he fought a PED Big Foot?

http://mmajunkie.com/2013/12/mark-h...e-test-s-t-i-need-to-get-on-some-of-this-s-t/

Mark Hunt just jumped into my top 10 fav.

 

[Roman Brady]

I was posting Nate's response breh wasn't trying to prove anything.

Nate's Manager's response:

"We asked for Nate's contract to be redone. The UFC turned it down. We asked for a change to his contract, and changes to when the fight takes place. They said no and we said no thanks. This is supposed to be a professional sport, but then this resorts to these Twitter wars. This isn't a street fight, it's a professional sport. If it's a street fight and they want to see who the better man is they know where the fukk Nate is, and then we can see who is the better man."

Werdum/Browne and Tate/Carmouche on for UFC on FOX 11

http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/1/1...vs-carmouche-set-for-ufc-on-fox-10-in-orlando

Tough fight to call, either fighter has the skills to win. Browne has proved me wrong in his last two fights, so I think I'll give him the slight edge. I'm pulling for Werdum though, I think his style (more-so than Browne's) has the potential to cause Cain some problems.

Holy shyt

http://www.mmamania.com/2014/1/14/5...s-husband-dead-following-apparent-suicide-mma

Maurcio Zingano, husband and father, passes away at age 37.

Sorry fight fans, as this is one of those posts I don't want to have to share with you.

Cat Zingano's husband, Mauricio Zingano, died this past Monday (Jan. 13, 2014) from an apparent suicide in Denver, Colorado, according to a report from Globo, who was able to obtain a first-hand report from friend and trainer Jorge Guimarães.

"Yes, he hanged himself in Denver on Monday. It's something unexplainable, do not know what may have motivated him to do so. We were together and he was fine, had plans and a lifetime ahead. It's a tragedy. I'm going to Denver today to assist Cat, who is devastated, does not know what to do."

FOX Sports was able to confirm Zingano's passing with the Jefferson County coroner.

Cat was expected to compete for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's bantamweight championship last month in Las Vegas, Nevada; however, a knee injury forced her to withdraw from her title fight, as well as her role as coach on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 18.

She was replaced by fellow 135-pound contender Miesha Tate.

"Alpha" was scheduled to return to the Octagon in late spring following clearance from her orthopedic doctor, and even had first dibs on the winner of Ronda Rousey vs. Sara McMann, though it's likely those plans will be put on hold following this unfortunate incident.

A sad day for the Zingano family and the entire mixed martial arts (MMA) community.

We will have more details on this still-developing story as they become available.

This fukking wild and sad as hell. Thoughts with her. You might as well put her out the picture. She probably won't be the same fighter considering Mauricio was her trainer. Thats even considering if she would come back anytime soon. Call Cyborg after the 21st ASAP

 

[The G.O.D II]

I changed my mind about Belfort. I hope he tears Weidman's skull off.

Ray Longo blames Oxycontin for 'delirious' Anderson Silva and his legacy-tarnishing excuses

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight titleholder Anderson Silva had two chances to defeat new 185-pound kingpin Chris Weidman. First, as champion in the main event of UFC 162. Then again as challenger, in the UFC 168 headliner.

And both times, he failed.

Whether you blame those "Spider" losses on shenanigans and freak accidents, or the skill set of "All American," makes no difference. At the end of the day, the record books reflect two consecutive defeats and according to coach Ray Longo (via MMA Junkie), it's time to man up and move on.

Silva's legacy, he argues, could depend on it.

"I just think he got dominated in both fights, and definitely doesn't deserve anywhere near a third fight, in my opinion. I think these guys just aren't in touch with reality, and they have to learn how to lose properly and grow from your losses, and move on - instead of making excuses. Earn your way back up, correct your mistakes. That's what really being a champion is. One win or loss doesn't make a champion, but certainly making excuses isn't being a champion, either. I would think it's a lot of Oxycontins talking. [Silva is] on a lot of pain meds, and he's delirious -- that would be my first gut feeling. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. Me personally, (Silva is) going to have to earn his way back up, and maybe by the time he's 45, we'll be waiting for him. I think the guy deserves a legacy. I really hope he takes a higher ground and just admits that the kid beat him, fair and square, twice, and go on and live with all your accolades. I think it's going to diminish his legacy if he keeps making excuses, because I don't think that's what a champion should do."

SIlva, in his defense, is on unfamiliar ground.

After ruling the 185-pound roost for nearly eight years, the Brazilian was knocked clean out by Weidman over the Fourth of July Weekend. In his very next fight, he shattered his leg in two places (pics) and was forced to undergo emergency surgery.

With no fight ahead of him, he's had nothing to do but sit on the couch and think (and pop pain pills).

Whether those pills were behind the comments Silva made about Weidman not winning (read them here) is unknown, but early forecasts have "The Spider" returning to the Octagon in late 2014 or early 2015. But will these two ever cross paths again?

Time will tell.

Don't know whats more ridiculous from this loudmouth slob. The insinuation that Silva is a doped out pill popper or that Weidman will hold the belt for nearly 7 years

I don't think Silva said he didn't lose. He knows he lost but it wasn't a very DEFINITIVE loss. Like he didn't get picked apart to a point where it was so clear (like JDS did with Cain) though I'll agree with Longo that Silva was dominated in the rounds that did go the distance. I felt like Silva was just about to warm up when he threw that kick. The first fight, well, he was an idiot.
