Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted November 26, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 26, 2017 Between MMA and Boxing, all this is in the next 3 weeks... Dec 2nd: Max Holloway vs Jose Aldo 2 Alistair Overeem vs Francis Ngannou Henry Cejudo vs Sergio Pettis Eddie Alvarez vs Justin Gaethje Tecia Torres vs Michelle Waterson Miguel Cotto vs Sadam Ali Dec 9th: Cub Swanson vs Brian Ortega Vasyl Lomachenko vs Guillermo Rigondeaux James DeGale vs Caleb Truax Dec 16th: Robbie Lawler vs Rafael Dos Anjos Santiago Ponzinibbio vs Mike Perry Billy Joe Saunders vs David Lemieux All that plus GLORY 48 and shows from Bellator, Invicta etc. Losing Bellew vs Haye 2 doesn't seem so bad looking at that lot.

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted November 26, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 26, 2017 Crickey! Cejudo v Pettis, Reem v The Parisian Experiment, Swanson v Ortega, RDA v Lawler - nowt to bitch about this month. Let's just hope not one of those names loses a finger or needs a 12 hour boner. Particularly, Cejudo v Pettis is all manner of great. It's pretty silly that, IMO, the most exciting matches in that division don't feature DJ, but that's all down to DJ being too good. I like that they're doing this before one of them probably gets DJ next. Although, I think Cejudo could probably do with another fight or two, seeing how massive his improvements are. Interestingly, he's had a taste of DJ now, so knows what he's up against next time. If there was a bloke to beat prime DJ you always fancied Cejudo being the guy, considering his background.

I agree on Cejudo. He handled his controversial loss to Benavidez brilliantly, he looks a different beast now. He was too inexperienced the first time he was put in with DJ, but I think they could have a FOTY-contender rematch if they clash in 2018. Got to get past Pettis first, I think he will.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 30, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 30, 2017 i really have no issue with Cormier/Volkan. Its a fresh 205lb'er who we really know little about getting a crack whilst he has some buzz about him, intriguing fight. It might end up being a bust, but that's why they fight.

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted November 30, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 30, 2017 You can't be made at that main event. Better than last years January death card main event. Schaub said on the JRE MMA Show, last night, the UFC were trying to make Stipe v Cain for 220, but Cain still isn't ready, which I'm somewhat pleased about, because it shows he's finally giving his body a chance to rest up. Schaub also reckons if Ngannou looks like Superman at the weekend they may give him the title shot at 220. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 30, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 30, 2017 yeh, if Ngannou wins id throw him right in there. Its either that or do Stipe/Werdum 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted November 30, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 30, 2017 Werdum was discussed, but they're not sure he'll be ready by January. "You can't be made at that main event". Tit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't beat yourself up, man - we all understood you were referring to the Fertittas not giving away their Mafia heritage and promoting someone to full capo.

Schaub really going out on a limb there. It's pretty obvious that the Overeem vs Ngannou winner is probably front of the queue for the next crack at Stipe, just because who else is there? Wins over Walt Harris and Marcin Tybura don't really make Werdum's case very strongly. Overeem vs Ngannou is the two next biggest baddest dogs in the yard after Stipe. And it's probably ending in highlight reel fashion either way. It's a no brainer as a #1 contenders match. And yeah this was just me taking another opportunity to say piss off Schaub.

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted November 30, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 30, 2017 In fairness, he's talking specifically about the match taking place at 220, rather than just taking place whenever. By "superman" he's talking early stoppage with little damage to the winner. Obviously, if it's a bit of a scrap, January may be out of the question. Also, say Ngannou isn't ready for January and Cain is fit a month or two later, they're probably going with Cain. It's not a total no brainer with schedules and Cain in the picture.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted November 30, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 30, 2017 Cain Veglassquez is never in the picture. It's sad but it seems a sharp wind could have him laid up in A&E these days. Nah. I know what you mean. I just never pass up a chance to take a pop at Schaub. He seems to think he's way more important than he is. He's basically just Hulk Rogan's 'Big Brown' Beefcake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
