Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 10, 2011 They were gonna have Anthony Pettis step in and fight Maynard at 130  According to former WEC Lightweight Champion Anthony Pettis, he was asked "3 or 4 days ago" to step in and fight Gray Maynard in the UFC 130 main event. Frankie Edgar's ribs were apparently enough for him to pull out for sure, but Maynard was going to try and tough it out with a knee injury. "They were going to have me fight Maynard on that card. I said yes to that deal right away. I guess it turns out that it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 10, 2011 the main card is still awesome, i suppose they'll move Johnson/Torres up...you're still looking at a great f'n show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 10, 2011 Yeah Torres/Johnson or Alves/Story are both main card worthy fights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
METAL ON METAL Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hopefully Alves/Story gets on the main card, Torres/Johnson won't be anywhere near as fun imo - especially with Torres' bland style the past few fights, plus I'm not much of a Johnson fan.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 10, 2011 Alves/Story has been promoted to the main card, and Grove/Boetsch is on the Spike prelims now  from MMAJunkie  MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view) Matt Hamill vs. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson Frank Mir vs. Roy Nelson Travis Browne vs. Stefan Struve Jorge Santiago vs. Brian Stann Thiago Alves vs. Rick Story  PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike TV) Demetrious Johnson vs. Miguel Torres Tim Boetsch vs. Kendall Grove  PRELIMINARY CARD Bart Palaszewski vs. Gleison Tibau Chris Cariaso vs. Michael McDonald Renan Barao vs. Cole Escovedo  I expect we might get the bottom 3 on facebook, good stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 I hope Rampage takes Hamill to school in the main event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted May 13, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 13, 2011 I have a feeling that Rampage may be over looking Hamill. It might bite him on the ass. My money is on a Nelson T/KO too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajmcstyles Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Im guna say Decision by Hamill, hes a pure bred wrestler Hamills gunna hold Rampage down. Â Plus Nelson via submission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbk4life Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I'm leaning towards Hamill as well. I think he can take a close decision victory, really hope i'm wrong though. Â I'm backing Nelson to get a big first round KO against Mir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 13, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 13, 2011 Im guna say Decision by Hamill, hes a pure bred wrestler Hamills gunna hold Rampage down. Plus Nelson via submission  As good a grappler as Nelson is I'd be very surprised if he submits Mir. They're both great grapplers but different in styles. I'd say Mir has the more dangerous submission game but Nelson has better control and better wrestling. I think their grappling will cancel each other out and this will be on the feet.  As odd as it sounds in a fight between 2 BJJ guys I think a submission is actually the least likely ending in this one.  I'm leaning towards Hamill as well. I think he can take a close decision victory, really hope i'm wrong though. I'm backing Nelson to get a big first round KO against Mir.  Yeah I'm going for a Big Country TKO within 2 rounds. Mir's striking has improved but Nelson beats him in power, heart and chin imo.  As for Rampage/Hamill. I can see why people are picking Hamill, especially if he can work a similar gameplan to the one Rashad used. I don't think that will work so well this time though for a couple of reasons. One Hamill's slower and more predictable than Rashad so might have trouble setting up takedowns. And 2 Rampage shouldn't be so rusty as he was against Evans cos he was off being Mr T back then. He looked much better vs Machida.  Only way I see Rampage losing is like Piddlepants says, if Rampage underestimates him. I'm going with Rampage by TKO.

METAL ON METAL Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Guess what...yep, another injury. Â Â Bart Palaszewski is out, now fighting Gleison Tibau will be Rafaello Oliveira. Â So that fight has went from originally being Bart vs Cody McKenzie to Tibau vs Oliveira. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 20, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2011 fuck me whats going on lately. Between this card, Brock's health going to shit again and all the confusion over Aoki's opponent for DREAM 17 this has gotta be the worst spell of injuries/pullouts in MMA history.

Paid Members Supremo Posted May 20, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2011 It's never a good sign when your main event is so weak that even the fighters in it aren't excited. Â Rampage on Hamill: Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
