The MMA Thread. BJ Penn Didn't Die #HeDeadThough

First time in vegas, don’t get shit faced before the show. Stay away from those alcoholic slurpee drinks.

=/

isnt this crocops last fight under contract?

i was hoping crocop last fight would be nogueira. that would be an epic rematch (even if they are both too old now).

I’m reading that Machida turned it down. His wife was saying that Machida was saying 3 weeks was not enough time or something.

As much as I like Machida, I didn’t want to see him use UNR on a brotha even though he’s not a brotha. Then again he is brazilian. No telling what he’s mixed with. :lol:

So going in he’s 50% likely to auto lose to any wrestler?

Good to see Tito learning to finally not bite the hand that feeds. ($400k “pay cut”? Half of that and you could get me to fight Jesus and the Dalai Lama in a handicap match)

Oh, I thought it was “only” $400k. That’s even worse. But yeah, good for him, I guess. I don’t really think he puts asses in seats anymore, so if he can pull in that kinda cash on (what everyone expected to be) his way out the door, he’s the man in my eyes.

The main reason why Machida won’t lose to a wrestler.

have you guys already discussed chael sonnens recent interview with ariel helwani where he accuses all the former pride fighters of roiding? i wanted to link the video if you guys havent already seen it. he also cusses out wanderlie silva… this guy is the greatest trash talker ever.

Tito will never be champ ever again, but I sure love watching him try :rofl:

you mean you like watching him get beat up?.. so do I.

GGPO Tito’s career. :rofl:

I guess it went from Stanky Leg 2 to Ortiz/Evans II: Electric Boogaloo.

goddamnit machida.

i know white is full of bullshit but he usually doesnt tell complete lies.

if money was the thing, i think machida made a huge mistake.

hes nearly guaranteed next title shot if he beats rashad (someone hes ALREADY BEAT BADLY and is coming off a long layoff).

if it wasnt a conditioning factor then getting this fight is more like the ufc doing HIM a favor than him doing the ufc a favor.

The secret to vegas is Hooters hotel and casino. Penny slots and a small casino = alot of free beer.

Dana said Leben and Sonnen wanted to fight Rashad :lol:

I personally would love to see Sonnen fight at 205.

I will be swinging from Tito’s nuts hella hard. Mexican-American Flags por vida.

look…i dont get it. i think it will be competitive to a point…tito clearly has power and strength in his old ass. but rashad is gonna wave dash takedowns like its no ones buisness. i do respect tito and contrary to popular belief…tito hasnt really been asswhooped…hes lost no doubt but their pretty close loses or at least competitve. i do not believe he’ll win, but i dont count him out. aging wrestlers are like saiyans…they stay strong til the bitter end. you gotta outsmart them, you def cant outmuscle them.

why would it be worth 200k to fight two guys that would just sit there and let you kick the shit out of them??

I think it’s because… he’s really bad at fighting and wants to win? I dunno… he already supports Nick Diaz, who likes to dodge people that can beat him, so it makes sense that Rampage wants an easy win for a lot of money too.
