Paid Members WeeAl Posted July 18, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 18, 2018 Robert Whittaker is out until at least early next year with his hand injuries, according to an article up on MMA fighting. He's targeting February now for his fight with Gastelum, and the pair of them are coaching a season of TUF beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WeeAl Posted July 18, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 18, 2018 Sorry for the double post, but Anderson Silva will be back a little bit earlier than I think many of us thought: https://www.f4wonline.com/ufc-news/anderson-silva-eligible-return-fall-after-usada-confirms-contaminated-supplements-261941 He can return in early November. Unsurprisingly, he still wants to fight, despite being 43 and massively on a downward slide. There are certainly fights he can win, in the UFC and outside it. With his name value though he's unlikely to get a chance to face many of the fighters that he'd be able to beat at this stage. There's a list of killers in that division that I'm sure have their sights set on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzExile Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Whittaker vs Gastelum is a great fight but I'm not paying money for it. Would rather see Whittaker fight Weidman myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 19, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 19, 2018 The Bellator WW Grand Prix line up was initially posted in the Other MMA thread but it can go in here... Paul Daley will fight MVP in the opening round. The Grand Prix will launch on DAZN in America so they are gonna try and hit this one big. The lineup is tremendous, not really sure how its gonna work with 10 men though. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Sonnen having a go at Helwani for claiming he could promote better than the UFC? Because whilst I get where Helwani's coming from, using stats to gauge interest, there's a massive gulf between analysis and acting on analyses. I don't like Sonnen, and he could've made his point here better without yelling over Helwani, but he's probably right in this instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gap between fights would've driven me nuts watching it in real time though. Hope the WW fights are a bit closer together.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Bit of chatter that UFC rights are heading to Eleven Sports in the U.K. from next year, with the bigger events being held on a new PPV channel Eleven are to set up. We’ve lived a charmed life in regards to PPV over here, sure, but I still can’t see myself paying for a UFC PPV. It doesn’t have the same feel to me as a big boxing event, which has the water cooler effect where EVERYONE is on about it and you don’t want to miss out. UFC, as much as I love it, doesn’t make me want to pay for it in that way. Plus, during an MMA downturn, it seems like a terrible time to put UFC on PPV. It seems like a retrograde step that could really hurt the sport. I’m amazed that in 2018 anyone is setting up new PPV ventures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d-d-d-dAz Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 They've already added Serie A, La Liga, Eredivisie and a bunch of other stuff. They'll have 2 channels available amongst the sport channels sections of sky/virgin etc.. (one is pure football, one is the other stuff they have) as well as a streaming service. They've previously ran elsewhere as a streaming service, but the feeling is the UK market isn't at the same place with cord cutting as the rest of the world, for whatever reason.
