interested to hear everyone's views on the AKA thing, obviously Koscheck is leaving because of Mendez but i'd like to hear some other reactions, AKA always seemed like one of the tightest MMA teams, they've always been the one that pushed the 'teammates wont fight' deal, the camp's been under the kosh for a couple of months, there's been high profile defeats and now one of the teams biggest fighters and coaches leave, it's all happening.

Something dodgy's up cos Dave 'Jeff Goldblum' Camarillo has left aswell now. Although he's denying any personal problems and he's saying he just wants to focus on running his schools.

 

It's hard to know what to make of this until more details emerge but something big must've gone on cos as you say they were one of the more tight knit teams in MMA.

The UFC have requested the MGM for PPV events on May 26th and July 7th.

 

Dos Santos vs Overeem is looking fairly likely to headline the July date. If they do Diaz vs Condit 2 maybe that could be the May PPV but probably a bit too soon, they'd need to go right back into camp about now for that so maybe not.

I have just read that Condit's camp are not inteested in a Diaz rematch.

 

Wheather Dana or Condit himself will say somthing otherwise gives me a bit of hope it will happen.

That's gonna be brilliant. Apart from Wanderlei getting KO'd which I can't see him avoiding in that one. That's 2 big time fights though, doesn't really matter what else is on it now but no doubt it will be loaded with the Palhares', Barboza's etc. Brazilian crowd will be electric as usual aswell.

 

Werdum wants to fight Frank Mir on that card too

 

"I hope I can fight in June in Brazil. I get there on Monday to be part of TUF (Wanderlei Silva Team), but I won

Camarillo left quite a while back to work on his own schools, but still trains with the AKA guys. I hear dhe'd left before the Cain vs JDS fight, so that one isn't new

Carlos Condit vs. Nick Diaz 2 is official. No word when it will take place. Rematches pose the question whether the same result will happen again or be different.

 

 

As far as i'm aware, despite it being discussed on UFC tonight and in early negotiations, it's far from official.
