Awesome, guaranteed fireworks. Looks like Shogun vs Thiago Silva will be the co-main at 149 in Canada.Fab1b;1157151 wrote:Lombard v Stann will be on UFC on Fox 4....NICE!!!

Yep, really good card top to bottom with some match ups that should be very exciting. 5 rounds of Nate Diaz, can't beat that.gerb131;1157203 wrote:This Sat should be good as well.
Thats for sure. Nate has looked very good the last few fights.robj55;1157204 wrote:Yep, really good card top to bottom with some match ups that should be very exciting. 5 rounds of Nate Diaz, can't beat that.
I still can't stand the Diaz brothers actions in the cage, etc. However, this does put some of it into perspective.robj55;1162450 wrote:http://www.mmafighting.com/2012/5/4/2998733/a-tale-of-two-diaz-brothers
Really good article if you have the time to check it out.
Subbing gomi, brutally beating cerrone, and IF he beats Miller who's 10-2 in the octagon, I'd say that's a damn good resume to me.Zoltan;1162487 wrote:Interesting that Dana said Diaz will get a title shot with a win. Miller is actually a decent favorite to win, and won't get a title shot. Just goes to show how much circumstance and marketing play into these things.
Also Rampage is keeping up the crazy insisting he wants to leave the UFC because they aren't giving him the right fights. Translation = I can't hack it against top guys anymore and want to cherry pick fights I can win.
Rampage wanted Shogun - so that's wrongZoltan;1162487 wrote:Interesting that Dana said Diaz will get a title shot with a win. Miller is actually a decent favorite to win, and won't get a title shot. Just goes to show how much circumstance and marketing play into these things.

Agree with the last two but Gomi is a low teir LW these days.Raw Dawgin' it;1162510 wrote:Subbing gomi, brutally beating cerrone, and IF he beats Miller who's 10-2 in the octagon, I'd say that's a damn good resume to me.
Shogun (who is pretty slow these days) is a perfect match up for rampage, hence why he wanted him. That is the definintion of cherry picking your fights. He only wants guys who won't mix up their game plans on him. It's like a football team saying they only want to play other teams that run up the middle every time, because that's the manly way to play.Raw Dawgin' it;1162511 wrote:Rampage wanted Shogun - so that's wrong

That's nice for that guy but they are both awful. Like, just really bad form all around. Stephan Bonnar is the one who was filming.hoops23;1162682 wrote:Has anybody seen/heard about this?
During a low level MMA card a 21 year old fighter was getting ready for his fight, problem is, his opponent didn't show up.
A 53 year old audience member named Tim volunteers to fight because he's always wanted to participate in a fight. He's had no prior training to this decision. They take him to the back for 1 hour to give him some pointers and tips. Tim gets knocked down 30 seconds in, but two minutes later lived out his dream.

Of course they looked awful. The 53 year old had never trained before. The 21 year old was fighting in a low level MMA card and obviously lacked any real skill.I Wear Pants;1162728 wrote:That's nice for that guy but they are both awful.

Agreed, but I meant awful even for a low level amateur card on the younger guys part.hoops23;1162733 wrote:Of course they looked awful. The 53 year old had never trained before. The 21 year old was fighting in a low level MMA card and obviously lacked any real skill.
It's just a cool story.
