Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 9, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Yeah, I would still take a punt on Vera if I was in charge, its a shame at one point it seemed he was the sports next big star.Guys who they could move for Rockhold is a tough one, maybe Okami at some point if Rockhold beats Kennedy and Lawler.I think guys like Alan Belcher, Rousimar Palhares, Steve Cantwell, Dan Miller, Brian Stann would all be good additions to Strikeforce. Guys who won't be in the title hunt any time soon, all had pretty stop-start careers in the UFC and could add some depth and interesting fights to Strikeforce at 185.

Belcher is a great choice, he is in his prime or close to it and would make for a great fight with Rockhold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 9, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Yeah I threw Palhares in there but he could be a threat in either company. I'd actually prefer they keep him in the UFC and see how far he goes. But a Palhares vs Jacare fight is one fight I'd love to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 9, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 anyone seen MTV's new MMA-based show 'Caged'?i had no idea what to expect, but it's pretty much standard MTV fluff which just so happens to have an MMA theme. Harmlessly entertaining though, if you like MTV style stuff you'll probably enjoy it, if you want to see a full on MMA-based show your better off avoiding it.

Heatseeker Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I'm struggling to find a good MMA news website (asides from the UKFF). I use the Underground APP but find the News quite slow to be updated and the forum is just awful. Is there any chance the UKFF would have a sub section for MMA instead of one big thread? I've mentioned it in the question thread before but never had a response.Looking forward to 2012. Interesting about Jon Jones wanting to fight again so quickly. I know everyone is thinking they are setting up a Rashad/Jones fight but I'm not counting Mr Davis out on this one just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't bother with any of the forums like the Underground or Sherdog as they are bloody awful; even the comments section of Junkie is inhabited by morons and numpties. The one really good thing about the MMA threads here are the fact that they are pretty much 'troll free' and you will always find some good discussion/debate/opinion etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many MMA boards are just filled with idiots, everythings so dismissive and abusive, i'll browse shit but posting in them is pretty pointless. I like our little MMA community we got here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig The Hunter Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I don't post much about MMA in here (or anywhere to be fair) but this is by far the best place for MMA chat. I've had a peek at other forums, but they're shocking, full of tits.I like it on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyT Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 if you want a smaller forum, the MMA one on eastsideboxing.com is alright, although recently some sherdog castoffs have been visiting and making shit threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey_Piste Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'll second the fact that Sherdog anf the Underground forums are full of absolute cocks. Yet many fighters and people involved wi the promotions post on the Underground, so you do get quite a lot breaking news on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only started looking at MMAJunkie a year ago for news. I use them, Sherdog and MMAWeekly.com for news/articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted January 10, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 MMAJunkie.com for blogs and newsMMAFighting.com for mediaMiddleEasy.com for the fun stuff. Agreed on the comments regarding other forums. I've tried to join a few other places like Sherdog and the Underground in the past, but there are so many people posting nonsense and everything moves so quickly I just can't be bothered. UKFF is the place for MMA discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
