    Did you condemn Anderson Silva for the Thales Leites fight? What happened in the Werdum fight doesn't mean that Overeem was hype.

    and how did Overeem get a bye to the finals, granted it wasn't the most difficult tournament win ever but you people are ****ing ridiculous. Overeem won the tournament fair and square. Please explain how you think otherwise.

    He works for the company and constantly tries to put a pro Zuffa spin on things

    There are a few of them working in here

    Zuffa wants employees not business partners. They want fighters to understand they call the shots. Morally its questionable but practically and for the fans its what needs to happen.

    Because the UFC really cares about what "fans" want right? You're sooo delusional some times.

    Is Werdum back in then? I doubt anyone would be excited by the thought of Bigfoot vs Fedor II, and both Arlovski and Rogers are out of the picture I think.

    Ah right, I see it's Cormier. This sucks. Hopefully Velasquez/Dos Santos vs Overeem coming soon. Or even Overeem vs Carwin or Mir in the meantime.

    Bigfoot Fedor II is a more entertaining match than Bigfoot Werdum II, if their initial fights are an indication of how the rematches would go.

    However, Daniel Cormier is the only name I've been seeing as Overeem's replacement.

    It isnt Danas Overeems or Zuffas fault, Overeem was promised to fight in October but Showtime wanted it to be in september

    Bigfoot will roll Cormier up into a ball and throw him out of the cage like a gorilla flinging **** in a zoo.

    :lol: I like Cormier. But a replacement in the GP? Very disappointing.
