Overeem's ratio was 14:1, that's crazy. I wouldn't be surprised if White fires his ass for this. Mir is already pushing to get the title shot in his spot.

...and it looks like he still doesn't have a ground game. only reasonable explanation is he wants to get out of the contract even sooner. This has to be the equivalent of George dragging the series trophy through the parking lot.

Since UFC doesn't want you to know it exists, here's UFC 145 Primetime Evans vs Jones Episode / Part 1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNtXyPwRfCo

Reports are Overeem is out of the title fight and Mir is in.

Also, the scheduled match between Sonnen and Silva possibly may not happen June 23, where there fighting has a United Nations thing that time and may not have enough security, so the UFC event may have to change dates, heard that last Sunday.

I like the Lombard signing. Would like to see him fight Palhares. UFC is also interested in Eddie Alvarez who is long overdue for a UFC contract.

Mir is gonna get put to sleep in the 1st. Not as interested in the title fight anymore

Silva/Sonnen moved to ufc 148 as the main event. Cruz/Faber now co main event

Looks like Aldo's next opponent with be.....Erik Koch. Koch last fought in September, defeating Jonathan Brookins. They will really have to build around this fight to make this card worth something.

This is a total skip. 145 is a joke of a division really. Such piss poor talent.

The thing about 145 is that Aldo is so good he makes it look like a weak division similar to Anderson at 185 and Jones at 205. The UFC does have to get deeper at 45 though

I guess the Bendo/Edgar rematch should be good. Edgar didnt deserve that immediate rematch though. He got worked in the 1st fight.

Agree with both your statements. Personally, I would move Aldo to 155. Sure, 155 doesn't need him, but there is no fight I want to see with him in at 145. Edgar for sure didn't deserve the rematch. He got it because he cried like a bitch, and White loves him. I really hope Henderson kicks the shit out of him again. I really can't wait for the July 7th card. Reading on Heyman's website, sounds like White really had to convince Silva to take the fight in Vegas. Hoping Silva just smashes the fuck out of Sonnen. Sonnen's comments of being the best ever, but having a bad record is great.

I'm not sure why White would have to convince Silva of anything. Sonnen is the the #1 contender hands down and Silva's job is defend the title. Silva can keep fighting bums like Maia and Cote if he wants but beating guys like Sonnen and Belfort have helped Silva's carrer more adding to his aura.

Silva is the champ who has fought on his opponents home turf multiple times. Im sure he would like the same treatment too. He is the champ and has some say too. Im guessing Danas convincing was more $$$.

I have a feeling Sonnen is getting KO'd this time

On Silva, I know people always talk about the Silva-GSP fighting, but wouldn't Silva-Jones be the one that could be more likely.

Shogun vs Silva in Calgary along with Brian Stann vs Hector Lombard at UFC on Fox 3 in August. I love both fights.

Not sure about the Silva/Shogun fight. Silva didn't look to good in his last fight. Hopefully he looks a lot better against Shogun.

Bader vs Machida added for FOX 4. Bisping's fight has been pulled from the July 7th card. Fight to be rescheduled, possible for the 149 card on July 21st.

White just announced Florian's retirement. Now we get to enjoy more of his bad announcer work.

The girl with the big forehead on Fuel TV asked Rashad Evans if Florian was a Hall of Famer? Mind you Florian never got the job done in big fights but Evans still said yes. I'm sorry but I don't really remember that one big UFC fight that had Florian in it. He was a decent fighter that ALWAYS when it mattered most. That's not HOF in my book.

Agree with you, Chris. He lost every title fight he was in, and usually got dominated in them. He is just one of Dana's boys, so I wouldn't be shocked if he got in.


The UFC 147 card is looking rough. Silva and Franklin is the main event, with 2 Ultimate Fighter Brazil finale fights. Kind of hard to sell this to the U.S. fans, especially since the TUF Brazil starts airing on FX June 10th.

UFC is going to be on a bad streak for PPV's. They had the heavyweights card that was ok. The UFC 147 card is going to be awful. 148 is going to be must see, just because Silva/Sonnen. The card was much stronger a couple of weeks ago, but still decent. The 149 card was kind of bad with Aldo as the mainevent. Now Silva as dropped from his fight against Shogun, and Alves has dropped from his fight.

I really wanted to see Franklin vs Cung Le as I thought that would have been a fun fight. I'm not sure why they didn't just scrap 147 all together or put that on Fuel TV. If that card gets more than 150k buys I'll be floored. 148 is loosing its luster but really there could just be the Silva Sonnen fight on there and that would be enough to get me to spend $45 on it.

^agreed. 147 should be on fuel. The ppv #'s are gonna be one of the lowest in recent years.

Rory McDonald calls out B.J Penn and a day later Penn accepts. Problem with this is top guys that are probably harder fights (Melendez,Koscheck,and maybe someone else) have called him out and he says he is retired. BJ Penn just wants the easiest fight he can possibly have right now which is a shame.

Agree completely. Penn kept saying he was looking for big fights, lol. I wouldn't consider this even close to a big fight. He should have been a man and fought Gilbert, but he doesn't want to work hard to cut weight down to Lightweight.
