You can give him Machida. Only problem is that Machida will likely beat him, knocking off a top contender. There is also: Dolloway, winner of Romero/Kennedy, & winner of Rockhold/Bisping. There are options that make sense.

Why would Jacare face him in March? Jacare should fight again at the end of this year, it could take place on the same card as Weidman/Vitor. And if he wins, he can fight for the title in early-mid 2015.



:russ:

IDK. He usually fights on a 6-8 month cycle. I wouldn't risk injury to a contender on some meaningless fight. Can you imagine the headlines and how much shyt the UFC will get if he gets hurt fighting someone like Dolloway? Nor would the Kennedy/Romero winner make sense. Rockhold/Bisping winner matchup would make sense but they fight in Nov. So they wouldn't be ready for Jacare until sometime in the spring. And that leaves Weidman without an opponent this summer. I think its smart to hold off on him. If they can make main event shows with Bader/OSP, they can sell other fights

fukk is wrong with this nikka Kenny Rice just cutting Ben off like that:drakewtf:

we don't know if it was Kenny acting on his own or what the producer signalled. Dude already made his point and was kind of just babbling. As for askren was not a fan of his style his I don't care if I bore you to death attitude or his twitter nonsense with Dana. I don't even know what his crusade is about, ufc don't need him they will just sign him when he's ready to join the program. Was what he said about Dana valid? yup but that's a promoter for you.

Almost seems like dude isn't serious about his career or mma

Rockhold/Bisping would not make sense unless Bisping somehow wins.

Love the way invicta waste no time between fights and keep it moving, other orgs could take notes on that front. But why would anyone sanction roxanne moderfari to fight? and knapp aint looking that good making larosa/moderfari 3 esp in '14

Like I said, I believe the UFC wants it's top contenders being active. Even if Jacare gets injured, we still got winner of Bisping/Rockhold and the winner of Romero/Kennedy as potential contenders.

Why wouldn't Jacare vs the winner of Kennedy/Romero makes sense?

Holding off Jacare for close to a year? Doesn't make sense to me. Why? It's not like he's the only contender.

I think the UFC is trying to keep main events like Bader/OSP to a minimum.

.
If jacare gets injured the winner of rockhold/bisping is obviously the only fight at mw that has relevance . Romero/kennedy means nothing (esp if kennedy wins) someone will just have to take 1-2 xtra fights

A good portion of hardcores don't care for WMMA.

I have Fight Pass, it's more than worth it for me (In Canada, you get all fights except PPVs). :leon:
