It appears that Gustafsson wants to fight on January 31. This was said on UFC Tonight. Also, according to Dana, Overeem will get another fi

I would like to see this fight, but it doesn't really make sense.

Lombard needs to focus on that title. I do respect that's he's willing to fight pretty much anyone.
he has a realistic chance of being the 170 champ, he needs to stay there and forget about 185

probably around the time it was realized they werent going to dominate the way Jones does.
there is something to that, I don't remember venus Williams being adored 14years ago when she was winning left and right. The moment her sis started looking like a pitball guess who was the lesser of two evils everytime they faced? they rush to support only when that athlete has been defanged
The hate also stems from Jones being the best fighter in the world. Look at the all-time greats, they all had their fair share of hate/haters. GSP, Anderson and even Fedor.

It's pretty funny that there really isn't a beloved black fighter.
the gsp hate was very minute, it largely came from mma purists and hetrosexuals in short it was just. I don't recall any fedor hate until he and his team made it abundantly clear they weren't interested in facing the best fighters in the world unless the org they got in bed with let their shytty Russian outfit piggy back off them that too was deserved. The hate Anderson got wasnt, if I am lying then listen to the post fight presser for Abu Dhabi reporters were actually imploring Dana to suspend him :heh:

GSP got a lot of flak for his lack of finishes and style.

For the most part, Fedor was liked. But, when he didn't sign with the UFC he received a lot of hate: 'over-hyped, he was never that good' 'he is scared of UFC HWs', 'he fights bums' and when he had his losing skid, a bunch of haters came out the woodwork as well.

err yeah his style was homoerotic and risk adverse which led to multiple decisions. Thus angering the 2 groups I stated....But we already know that

echo echo,
What exactly was the point of remixing my statements? :why:

So employing a grappling/wrestling heavy style = homoerotic? I don't think MMA is the sport for you.

I'm not understanding what your are implying? Are you saying we are all gay for watching MMA?

Schaub: 'Dana, Brendan Schaub here'
This dude introduces himself at the end of an interview. And that was his second question to Dana. :dead:

That TUF redcarpet vid kind of givesaway a s/l going into the season, in the upcoming season trailer we see dana tell Becky Hyatt she can't continue. Now on the red carpet we see she looks bloated as fuk. Now either she's pregnant or she hooked up with the fanboys, very sloppy mmafighting very sloppy

I agree with Joe Rogan, the level of vitriol directed at JBJ is hard to comprehend without a racist element. It's the same reason those people are adamant that Gus won that fight. Can't stand the dominant black champion. That's why I can't wait for the rematch so JJ can crush that clown and end the great white hype.
