[The G.O.D II]

Bisping is a bigger name than Rockhold.

I'm not saying Bisping/Kennedy/Romero would beat Weidman. All I'm saying is, if Jacare were to get injured or Rockhold were to lose, the UFC would definitely set up a Weidman vs Bisping fight or a Weidman vs the winner Kennedy/Romero fight (this assuming there are no other contenders).

The problem with your scenario is that the UFC wants Jacare to fight again.

Who do you think Jacare should fight and when? I would not put him on that Dec card if theres two title matches already scheduled

most female sports aren't female mma. Yeah the level in comparison to the ufc and such is tiers below but its still "a fight". The same cant be said about nba v wnba or female hockey as oppose to nhl. Female tennis (outside serena) as oppose to a nadal, federer, nadal, murray or djokovic match and so on and so forth

My point still stands. Nice try.

so did ali bagotinov but who exactly did he beat tho? and more to the point who the fukk is mighty mouse anyway he aint exactly an attraction, they can pit him against kermit the frog for all anyone cares

You really are confused.

Your point: 'UFC would never set up a Kennedy/Weidman main event'
My response: The UFC has set up much worse title fights/main events (like Cariaso/MM), there is no reason to believe why they wouldn't set up this fight.

If Kennedy is the only contender (or by far the most deserving) for Weidman, the UFC would 100% set up that title fight as a main event. What I will say though is, If a less deserving and more exciting contender were to emerge, they would likely choose that fighter over Kennedy.

Rockhold is the only one out those guys who remotely makes sense. No one wants to see Bisping/Kennedy/Romero vs Weidman. Don't stand a chance. Jacare will be on a 7-8 month interval so its not too major a time lapse. He is the only contender outside of Machida. And theres too many rematches going on so interest in that will be low. The winners of those two MW fights can fight each other and the winner will get the next shot after Jacare/Weidman. Thats perfect match making

I wouldn't mind seeing Romero vs. Weidman. It would be crazy while it lasts.

Yep, I wouldn't mind seeing it either. Romero is a great fighter, but Weidman would beat him easily.

Went to b dubs tonight with my homie. Dennis Bermudaz came in and was hanging out there. Totally anonymous not one other person there recognized him. As I was leaving gave him a pound and said good luck in the lamas fight breh.

Who is this Waterson is fighting? A typical pancrease japanese grappler with no striking whatsoever?

Waste of time imo. If Romero was ten years younger and training then yea. But he got outgrappled by Brunson. Weidman destroys him

I know but I'm sure Romero could do some crazy shyt before he goes to sleep.

The winner of Rockhold/Bisping can face him at the end of this year (this is assuming they're healthy). Or even early next year. Another option is the winner of Kennedy/Romero (again, at the end of this year). Even Dollaway or Machida are decent options (although I would advise against the Machida match-up). The options are plentiful.

That would leave space for a mid 2015 MW title fight.

This is such a trash fight. Completely outclassing this girl(is she even 5ft?) Waterson hair is short. I hate it.

Bisping/Rockhold is Nov the 8th. No way the winner of that will agree to less then a month turn around to fight Jacare. Yea, Kennedy/Romero winner makes sense. But I just hate the idea of Jacare fighting two low end guys coming after a dominant finish of a very good fighter. I just think a big memorial day PPV with Weidman/Jacare is the best matchup. Perfect time for both men


OAN is fight pass down. The stream I am watching wont load.


Edit: The fight is over?

 

[The Infamous]

Jacare vs the winner of Bisping/Rockhold for the end of the year card (7 week turnaround), I believe the average training camp is 6-8 weeks.

I thought that 'very good fighter' was slipping into gatekeeper status.

 

[The Infamous]

If the winner of Weidman/Belfort is healthy, why in the world would you them wait till the end of May to defend their title (that'll be almost 6 months)

First off, quote me if you are addressing me. Second. What end of the year card? The last show on PPV is Dec 6. No fighter in their right mind is fighting Jacare in less then four weeks
