i saw this posted on mmanews.com just wanted to see what yall think. Rampage vs bones jones (if he can get cleared, fractured hand) Hamil vs. bader if he beats ortiz, or shogun-forrest loser Frank Mir vs. Big Nog-Brandon Schaub Winner Nelson vs. Lesnar, or Big Nog-schaub loser Travis Browne vs. Matt Mitrione (great fight) Stephan Struve vs. (new guy) idc Story vs. Koscheck maybe, he called out fitch Alves vs. Martin Kampmann(if he wins) or Marquardt-johnson winner Brian Stann vs. Wandy or palhares Santiago vs. Dan Miller
A lot of possibilities to be honest. Mir, Story and Stann could all be easily be fast tracked to a title shot - its not like the UFC is blessed with contenders in either division. Imagine if the winner at UFC 131 picks up an injury - they'd pretty much have to make the call to Mir if they want Velasquez to fight this year. Ditto who else is there for GSP to defend against now that the Diaz fight is seemingly off the table? I suppose there's the winner of DHK vs Condit but you know they're not going to go with DHK and to be honest Story has a better shot than Condit. And with Sonnen out for the rest of the year, should Wanderlei lose or not want to fight Anderson then Brian Stann may be the only option for a 4Q11/1Q12 Anderson Silva title defense.
i think the only good fight would be between nelson and lesnar, koscheck and fitch would be the longest lay and pray match in the history of the ufc.
Rampage vs Griffin-Rua winner Mir vs Herman or Russow Hamil vs Matyushenko Nelson vs Big Nog-Schaub winner Struve vs Patrick Barry-Kongo winner Browne vs Beltran-Rosa winner Story vs Condit for number 1 contender status. Alves vs Dan Hardy-Chris Lytle winner. Stann vs Belfort-Akiyama winner. Santiago vs Palhares
Why is Evans getting pushed to the side? He beat Rampage and would be coming off of a Davis win too. If he beats Davis, Rampage does not deserve the shot.
Rampage - Jones Rampage - Machida 2 Mir - Lesnar 3 Mir - Rothwell Stann - Wanderlei (has to happen) should he get by Leben Story - Sheilds Alves - Condit (has to happen)
rampage-machida 2 aint gonna happen according to dana. their fight wasnt impressive enough for dana so he said their isnt gonna be a rematch in the post fight press conference
robbed?johnson took hiim down the whole senond and third round, torres got the first, but 2 and 3 were johnson took him down and controlled him for a while
not side stepin evans, the thread is whats next for ufc 130 fighters. i agree rashad should get the shot and plus he fights davis. XD
