That would be niceQuote:

That's a good card, but Jury is being thrown to the wolves here. First he gets crushed by Cerrone and his reward (punishment?) is the former champ? I think Thomson vs Pettis and Jury vs Barboza/Masvidal/Green makes more sense ranking-wise.Quote:

I know he's styled isn't exactly the most exciting, but I'm surprised the UFC is just going to let him walk. Either Bellator made a ridiculous offer or the UFC just doesn't value Davis that much.
I don't think the UFC values him that much.Quote:

Anderson Silva asks for Nick Diaz rematch despite looming suspension hearing
I've always really liked Anderson Silva but this just doesn't make much sense for him to fight Diaz again.. He's obviously just trying to coast to another pay check.

I agree with you. I was really unimpressed with both guys in that fight. I think Anderson knows he can not beat CW or guys at that level anymore so a fight against Nick Diaz a way get another big paycheck. I do not blame him for wanting big pay for little risk but it is what it is.Quote:

Davis said the UFC declined to match the contract, so I guess that answers my question.Quote:

Does AS really need another paycheck? The guy is set for life, maybe he wants to prove that he doesn't need PED's to win a fight? That's assuming that was the one and only time he did and he feels wrong about it...Quote:

I read that on a comment on one of the articles on yahoo. With the UFC letting Davis walk by not matching a contract. A world ranked fighter inside the top 10, a guy who you could argue is one of the UFC's top guys at his weight even, and a rival promotion gets him. Just something to think about later down the road in this lawsuit situation. I doubt this was just something where the UFC wanted to move on from Davis.Quote:

I like it better than the rankings. The idea that experience gets you paid seems more appealing to fighters than a made up ranking system.Quote:

UFC 189 keeps getting better and better with the addition of Brown vs Means.
Damn!

GSP will come back for one historic fight.
Translation= He's running low on money and wants to make 10+ million.
It could be Silva but if not it's going to be someone with a big name to promote.
i thought he had enough monday.
Lol
Seen that on UFC tonight earlier, I thought I was watching a rerun from a month ago lol.Quote:

Check out the new p4p standing after the event events
According to @bovadalv, Daniel Cormier opened as a slight favorite (-150) over Rumble Johnson (+120).
Makes sense, would like Rumble to be the champ but Cormier is relentless and he is having to get rid for a wrestler on short notice.Quote:

That was a fight I really wanted to see but I am sure they will find someone for Cerrone. With a win over whoever, he might be up for the next shot.Quote:

Per @arielhelwani on @UFCTonight, Khabib Nurmagomedov will get surgery in LA tomorrow; out 4-6 months. Thinks he came back too soon.
Alexander Gustafsson is injured and out of his 6/20 fight against Teixeira. Jedrzejczyk vs Penne for the 115 belt is the new main, per UFC.
