Paid Members Up Chuck Posted January 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2012 "Bisping" and "Sonnen" trending on Twitter in the UK, unsurprisingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2012 fucking hell! great stuff, they aint got much time to verbally spar but i think that's the fight that needed to happen. Munoz/Sonnen was kind of getting in the way of what people wanted to see, the UFC's onto a winner whoever wins next week now. Â Maia/Palhares would be tremendous...or have Munoz fight Palhares on his return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2012 Maia/Palhares would be tremendous...or have Munoz fight Palhares on his return. Â I'd go for Maia vs Palhares, I really wanna see that. Munoz could be out a bit and Palhares is fresh. He's the best option and that fight makes sense anyway. Time to find out who's the submission king at 185. I hope Joe Silva is dialling Paul Harris on the phone as we type. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted January 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2012 Get in! I'll even watch that, since I only climb out of the closet when two big names who I like or know are fighting. Should be a belter. As Ebb said, its a shame this is announced so close to bell time, since we miss out on the months of this pair mouthing off at each other. Still a nice little surprise.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2012 Yeah to be honest I think this should have been the original fight all along. Especially with it on FOX, it's a more appealing fight than Sonnen vs Munoz ever was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimufctna24 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The nexts few weeks trash talk should be a thing of beauty.I hope Sonnen wins, even if it does mean we won't get Anderson vs Bisping over here like predicted. This FOX Show is more anticipated by me than any PPV card upcoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heatseeker Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Much more exciting main event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 18, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2012 Much more exciting main event  It would be but I don't know if this will be the main event or if they're keeping Evans vs Davis as headliner. I'd rather they put Sonnen vs Bisping on top, it feels like a bigger deal and having that as a 5 rounder makes it very interesting when you consider Bisping's cardio is great and Sonnen often gets caught late in fights.  I suspect they'll stick with Evans vs Davis as main event though. They were promised the top spot plus Bisping and Sonnen have been training for 3 round fights so it's a bit unfair to tell them they're going 5 this close to fight time. I'm sure they'd both agree to it but it's probably not gonna happen.  If we do get that Maia vs Palhares fight then we'll be going from this as a main card  Evans vs Davis Sonnen vs Munoz Bisping vs Maia  to this  Evans vs Davis Sonnen vs Bisping Maia vs Palhares  that would be a result. I think that's a big improvement. I still don't think Phil Davis is ready for the main event level yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rohpete Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 From danas twitter  3rd fight in the FOX Jan 28th is Maia vs Undefeated Chris Weidman!!!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 18, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2012 ohhh, that's a bit of a curveball. No one really mentions Weidman when it comes to 185 contendership yet, but he's looked awesome in his 3 UFC fights so far. If he beats Maia he's gonna be knocking on the door of the top 5. Â Great fight! Either Maia stays relevant or Weidman arrives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 18, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2012 Ha, like I said in the other thread, big chance for Weidman. If he pulls this off he's well on the map. And if you look at last minute replacements the last few years, they often do pull it off. Brian Ebersole vs Chris Lyte springs to mind. Â Tough spot for Maia though. He's gone from fighting a top contender to a dangerous but relatively unknown prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
