Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 28, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 28, 2017 its customary that at least one fight gets pulled from a fight card these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members lambyUK Posted July 28, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 28, 2017 This is absolutely brilliant from yesterday's staredown with Lawler and Cerrone. I have to admit, I can't stand Cerrone. Not from a fighting perspective, but I just can't stand his spiel, and from the looks of it neither can Lawler. Everytime he goes into his staredown he churns out the same stuff about "let's give the people what they want" etc. Lawler was having none of it and I can't wait to hopefully see Cerrone knocked unconscious.

weevil Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I just realized Aljamain Sterling is fighting on the prelims again. 8th UFC fight, 5th as a ranked fighter, never been on a main card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just the timing and circumstance to be honest. After the first 4 wins Sterling had that contract stand off with the UFC and raised his profile in the process. They decided to take a gamble by putting a pretty big fight in his next fight after signing against Bryan Caraway as a fight pass headliner in attempt at the time to raise figures on the platform. Unfortunately the gamble didn't pay off as he lost the fight and his subsequent next one. If had beaten Caraway he probably would have got a number 1 contender fight after that.

Fucking terrifying! If I was Cerrone I'd pull out of the fight after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Chunk Posted July 28, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 28, 2017 Yikes. Judging by that, Cowboy ain't coming out of tomorrow in good shape. Did Lawler have part of his brain removed and replaced with electronics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted July 28, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 28, 2017 I love these types of cards, where you forget something as incredible as Lawler/Cerrone is on it, such is the depth to it. In a perfect MMA world, Lawler, Maia and DC crush the opposition. Well, Maia and DC do, Lawler wins a three round war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members lambyUK Posted July 28, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 28, 2017 Another thing I picked up upon during yesterday's media day staredowns was how much bigger Maia is than Woodley. He really is a monster for a welterweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Still getting the nervy moments when this gets new posts. I can see Jones slipping on the way to the octagon and injuring himself. Please let this fight happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People on my timeline have been retweeting news from when he got pulled from UFC 200, so all you see is the headline which reads, "Jones removed from Cormier fight after failing a drug test." My arse fell out when I read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
