maybe, but we've talked about the Edgar/Benson fight recently, and Yamamoto/Page was supposed to happen earlier this year, but never did.

Obviously, anything on wiki is to be taken with a pinch of salt, but I don't see why any of those fights couldnt happen

 

Well Edgar/Henderson is confirmed along with Akiyama vs Shields. Also Okami vs Boetsch has just been announced.

Apparently Miguel Cotto wants to bring in Nick Diaz to spar for his rematch with Antonio Margarito

Miguel Cotto has asked to use Nick for his camp against Margarito

Nick's a pretty similar build to Margarito so this makes sense

Ariel Helwani recently did an interview with Art Jimmerson. It was posted to Ariel's YouTube channel 15 hours ago.

 

One of the things Art mentions, and something I had never heard before, is that one of the things he was offered in order to get him to fight in UFC 1 was percentage of the company. He says that the people managing him told him, "Take the money and run. This thing will last two or three years and blow out"

just stumbled aross this...

 

 

It's Alex Caceras fighting in a bare knuckle MMA fight in the infamous yard of Dada5000, i never knew Caceras took part in that kind of thing pretty wild.

 

It's crazy how legit MMA figthers are coming through these backyard promotions, it's an awful advert for the sport but there is some tough, talented guys fighting in them.

 

Jorge Masvidal is another, he came up through the Kimbo-scene.

So, we're all in agreement, Kenny Florian must lose his next fight by devastating knockout? Let him beef up to HW and take on Overeem :D

 

It's crazy how loaded every UFC event is getting. If not in star power, certainly in skilled fighters. Every fight I've heard being announced in the last couple of weeks has been dynamite. Except for the loss of Rory at 140, that was pretty disappointing. It's not terrible though, I'm an Ebersole fan anyway. :)

yeh it's insane these days, nearly every fight announcement gets me excited. Im really pumped for the prelims this week for example, a few of my favourite fighters are buried down there so ill be pulling an all nighter for them.

Much better production that the recent Tank video. How much can they realistically be getting for these fights? $500? I'm sure I saw Mayhem Miller in one of these vids a while ago to?
