ajmcstyles Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Regarding the new UFC game, has it been confirmed that you'll be able to defend championships in exhibition mode, a bit like the WWE games? Makes a good point. In this game selecting the 5x5 minute round meant it was a title fight. But now the rules have changed after 138. Â God knows what they will do.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 22, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 22, 2012 James Thompson is fighting Bob Sapp in India as the main event of the Super Fight League 1 event on March 11th. Apparently this organisation is looking to be a pretty big deal in India, being run by Raj Kundra, Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt & Ken Pavia. Also on the card is Xavier Foupa Pokam and UK based fighter Lakwinder Sekhon.  Haha Thompson vs Sapp. I wondered when that fight would end up happening.  Anyone seen Bas Rutten's comments on Overeem and his fight with Dos Santos?  "I think Alistair, everything he does is one single shot because he knows he's got that glass jaw as well. He's been knocked out quite a few times in the past, even by Chuck Liddell as well. Every time when he punches, one hand is up. He throws single shots; he doesn't throw combinations. You saw that when he fought [Fabricio] Werdum. Werdum was actually tagging him more than he did to Werdum. I think that Junior dos Santos, with his combinations, his reach, I think he's going to tag him and he's going to throw combos and I think that yeah, he's going to take this fight."  I dunno if this is all still from hard feelings over the Golden Glory situtation. I know Bas didn't like the way Reem handled that. But I think he has a point on some of this. I've never been convinced of Overeem's chin, and although his striking his top drawer he's pretty slow and does have a very 'one shot' approach like Bas says. That one shot is usually devestating but if he wins he's not gonna steamroll Dos Santos like he did Brock.  I think everyone's thinking Reem's K-1 level so he'll walk through JDS but I don't think it's that simple. JDS has a solid chin, faster hands and better combos imo. Overeem's a better kicker but I'm predicting and hoping for a Cigano KO win and his title reign to roll on.

jimufctna24 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Bas does have a axe to grind and he is contradicting his previous opinion of Overeem being the best HW in the world, but I do agree that JDS will beat Overeem. I think JDS will outbox Overeem and stop him when he is gasses out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 23, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 Rumoured card for UFC 145 on April 21st. This was originally gonna be held in Canada but was moved to Atlanta.  Main Card (PPV) Jon Jones vs. TBA (either Rashad Evans or Dan Henderson depending on what happens with Rashad/Davis) - LHW Title Rory MacDonald vs. Che Mills Brendan Schaub vs. Ben Rothwell Miguel Torres vs. Michael McDonald Mark Hominick vs. Eddie Yagin  Prelims (Most likely be on FX or FUEL and ufc.tv over here) Maximo Blanco vs. Marcus Brimage Travis Browne vs. Chad Griggs Anthony Njokuani vs. John Makdessi Mac Danzig vs. Efrain Escudero Keith Wisniewski vs. Chris Clements  The main event will be huge whether it's Rashad or Hendo. Rest of the main card is a bit weak really imo. Torres/McDonald and Rory MacDonald's fight are main card worthy but it could do with one more addition I reckon as a co main event. Maybe Forrest Griffin because he's from Georgia. Could do Griffin vs Thiago Silva maybe if he's ready to go, or Machida?  There's no way Schaub vs Rothwell deserves a main card spot. They've both just lost plus I think that could turn out to be a shitty fight. The prelims look excellent. I'd stick Browne/Griggs or Njokuani/Makdessi on PPV over Rothwell vs Schaub.

the_mole Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Dana has said they have'nt worked out the full Spring schedule, so I doubt all those fights will be for UFC 145. I'm guessing they add at least one fight night in between because they only ditched the Montreal show because they could'nt get a big time main event to headline, something they would'nt need with a FX or Fuel card.

Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted January 23, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 Lashley to Fight Fedor? - BloodyElbow. Â Fuck knows if there's any truth to this but it'll be mad if it does go down. With Lashley being such a giant compared to Fedor, and considering what happened against a bigger guy in Bigfoot, this could be interesting.

Magnum Milano Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Rumoured card for UFC 145 on April 21st.

Rothwell/Schaub is probably the most unappealing fight on the whole card. Hopefully Che Mills gets another victory although part of me thinks he is being thrown to the wolves here, while I've got a hunch that this will be Michael McDonald's coming out party.

The Natural Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Out of the two UFC PPV's in February, UFC 143: Diaz vs. Condit and UFC 144: Edgar vs. Henderson, the latter show is the one I'm most interested in. The main reason for that is because of the Edgar/Henderson main event. Ever since that fight was announced in November 2010, I've looked forward to it. I go back and forth on who I think will win, it's a tough one to call. On paper UFC 144: Edgar vs. Henderson's main card looks better than the UFC 143: Diaz vs. Condit main card as well.
