The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- Cannonier, Imavov, Reyes, Rosas on NOW

[Vincent Van Goat]

Lando, Eddie and Johnson asking to fill in

I'm assuming he only gets his show money, so taking a fight for a chance at a win bonus would make sense

I was going to say something about the fight getting canned a day or 2 ago, because on one of the embeddeds Tony says something like "good luck w/ that weight cut" to Khabib but I kept my mouth shut because I didn't want to jinx it.

I'm pist.

 

[keko jones]

Mad ... Oh well still get see Thurman vs Garcia.

 

[illphillip]

Dana said Tony is not fighting tomorrow period.

Dana said Tony is not fighting tomorrow period.

Hope he gets as much money as possible

Bisping/GSP presser on now

Smart play, you can't risk Tony getting caught by surprise thus eliminating two top contenders in 24 hours.

Dana is going to try to set up McGreGOAT/Ferguson now.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Dana can't find Bisping!

LMFAOOOOOOO

 

[freshbottoms]

McGregor has to have to biggest smile right now. UFC a mess since the sale

Outside of Ferg/Khabib, Ferg/Conor is the other one I most wanna see

MY GAWD what a match up

It's true. I can't even deny it, Conor stays winning without stepping foot into the cage

 

[red81]

Lmao Bisping is completely embracing the role of heel.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

This press conference though 

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Hey, Dana said he's going to compensate Yoel while he waits. That's what's up

Bisping says he is willing to fight Yoel 6 weeks after he beats GSP

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Bisping is playing this role perfectly. Lmao... kudos to him, he knows how to play the game

GSP I can't tell if he's putting on a naive act or if he's just naive but either way his role works too. I forgot how goody 2 shoes he was lmao

Hilarious contrast of personalities

Maia had this to say:
I have been getting a lot of questions from fans and the press on why did I take this fight, such a dangerous fight, just days before the WW title takes place. It was no secret I was waiting for a title shot, and it could seem strange on why did I change my mind so close to probably finally having my chance confirmed.

It is very simple. I was asked to take a fight, and told I needed to remain active to get my chance. I am and have been a martial artist, a competitor, and a fighter for more than 20 years now. This is what I do for a living, and this is who I am. I respect the UFC and Dana White a lot, it's been almost 10 years, and if that's what I have to do, it makes no sense to wait any longer.

I honestly believe I had already done enough to have a title shot, but not everything in life is often as we wish, and now that doesn't matter anymore. All my focus is on UFC 2011, as Masvidal is an extremely tough opponent and no fighter can think past him. Being the sportsman I am, I'm going to go in there, do my best, compete and test myself yet again. That's the life I have chosen.

Jesus, Dana playing with this man

Props to Maia for being game, all respect to him

Bisping drunk

 

[af1 1982]

My guy Bisping

 

[QU!K]

Kinda had a feeling this fight would fall apart

 

[illphillip]

Can't wait for the next episode of Embedded

 

[P A Z]

AKA curse strikes again.. it's such a risk to book them for big fights. Even though this isn't an injury, something always happens to them causing them to miss the fight.

Khabib is such a like-able dude. His "describing movies" vid was comedy gold.

I can't stand Ferguson in his interviews but I like his fighting style way more than Khabib's.

I just don't like how often AKA champs get injured.

 

[Cashflow]

There has to be odds up right now about Cormier pulling out. I'd throw some dollars on that one.
