Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted September 16, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 16, 2016 That's probably the main reason why I want to see Chael vs Rampage, to be honest. While I'd fancy Chael to outwrestle Rampage in the actual fight, I'd be 100% certain Chael mauls him in any kind of verbal battle of wits. In fact, if I was Coker I'd look at doing a TUF ripoff with them as coaches to really squeeze the most out of it because, chances are, the actual fight won't be that exciting. Â Frank Mir was good except when Miguel Torres was fighting, felt like he was his biggest fan boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanz25 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 They could probably dip their toe back into PPV if they did one in the similar price range to ROH out in the US. Around $30 rather than $50-70. Have Rampage/Chael headline. Then have some of their other name Fighters, Rory, MVP, would probably be marketable. Plus Kimbos son is tied to Bellator isn't he? Have his debut on PPV or something idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimufctna24 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Add me to those who rate Mir and Jimmy Smith as commentators.  Smith's MMA record makes for interesting reading - http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Jimmy-Smith-9052  I hadn't even considered a Chael Sonnen vs. Rampage fight. That's a good headliner.Fucking hell though, can you imagine how exposed Rampage would be in the build up? It was bad enough with Rashad, but Chael would absolutely demolish him. Rampage would be left tragically repeating "your breath stinks," over and over again. Provided it happens, the build-up to Sonnen vs Ortiz will be similar.

d-d-d-dAz Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I'm a huge Joe Rogan fan, but I also bloody love Fight Quest. So I'll call it a draw. Â There were two shows like Fight Quest, wasn't there? There was Another one, with some pretty boy fighter as the lead. Â I liked both, but I always forget which one was better but remember one being markedly better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mole Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Tito should be in the booth more his commentary/post fight interviews were amazing at that Affliction show, still makes me laugh now thinking back on it, what the fuck were they thinking?

I have the Fight Quest series on DVD, good viewing. Â As for Tito. Yep, for someone who made a career of talking shit he sure dont mind fluffing his lines when put behind the camera.

the_mole Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 To be fair it was him at UFC 51 (pretty sure it was the first one on Bravo) that made me a fan of the sport, him barely beating Vitor Belfort and then calling out Ken Shamrock & Chuck Liddell who both tried to get at him and Randy Couture laughing on commentary was brilliant, even in Pro Wrestling it would be seen as a great angle. Â Although I'm sure he thanked the troops for fighting for their freedom in the wrong country or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mole Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Mick Maynard is the new matchmaker for the UFC, Sean Shelby moves up while Joe Silva moves on, Maynard ran Legacy FC for 10 years.  Legacy & RFA are merging and are now called LFA, I assume they will be the UFC's feeder org in the States. Ed Soares is now the CEO and they will run 30 shows a year on AXS TV, Ed also retires as a manager and Inside MMA on AXS TV will end because they will be running more MMA events  Cage Warriors have also just signed 18 European fighters, I can see them being more of a European feeder league to the UFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted September 21, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 21, 2016 Jim Miller vs Thiago Alves added to UFC 205 at MSG. Alves is dropping to lightweight. Al Iaquinta is out and having a contract dispute with the UFC. Â And Gustafsson vs Little Nog is apparently headlining a Fight Night in Brazil in November. Third time they've booked that one. Hopefully it comes off this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
