Guy Bifkin Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I find fight pass hugely frustrating. All that footage yet the platform is so shit, I haven't yet found a medium that it's fun to watch through.  I suspect it's something the new owners will get around to sorting but they may have lost me as a punter by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 14, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 14, 2017 Anderson Silva Vs. Derek Brunson has been announced for UFC 208 Nice addition. 208 needed a bit of extra spice. Anderson's name doesn't carry the weight it used to but he still bolsters any card he's added to. Big opportunity for Brunson here. I thought Robert Whittaker would've got this big name fight instead to be honest, seeing as he beat Brunson. But I guess they'd rather match Whittaker with someone else who's also coming off a win. Can see them doing Whittaker vs Mousasi actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 14, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 14, 2017 Yeh, that'd be a nice headliner for the UK. Is there an Oz card coming up though? That'd be a shoe-in main event over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fly into NYC on the 11th, wasn't going to go to this event due to the card, but this might swing it for me now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaheer Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Cody Garbrant and TJ Dillashaw announced as the next coaches of TUF. Not sure if they're fighting at the end of it though?

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted January 16, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 16, 2017 They surely are? It's the fight to make. Cruz was dominated so not sure there is much appeal to him getting an immediate rematch, particularly with TJ looking impressive on the same card.

Zaheer Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Agreed I just didn't see that confirmed in the report I read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 16, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 16, 2017 They're definitely fighting at the end of the season. Anik said they were last night after they announced them as TUF coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Bifkin Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 It's a pretty good idea getting them to do TUF and you can throw Faber and Ludwig into the mixer that way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousin Jim Bob Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Worth a mention the new eye poke rules. I'm tempted to call it the Jon Jones rule. You can't throw your open hand out horizontally to range find like a jab now. Like JJ does every fight and "accidentally" pokes the guy in the eye. Â DC seemed made up when announcing it last night.

Paid Members JNLister Posted January 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2017 Have to say I was quite impressed with the Fight Pass interface on Roku which is notoriously hard to create an interface for as the remote only has a few buttons. Â Didn't really get much chance to watch it this weekend, but I enjoyed the first Pancrase show from 1993 (34 minutes long!) and there was a fun show with Forrest's Freaky Fights that was all Pride freakshow bouts and stuff. They had a six-man tag grappling match with Matt Hughes and Jens Pulver which you could politely call an exhibition and realistically call a pitifully obvious work.
