MMA Quick Hits 9: The Steroid Era Begins?

[McFlurry]

Now that's a fight I want to see

Nate against Connor? It wouldnt be much of a fight if thats what you were talking about. The trash talk would be epic though.

I think it would be a good fight, conner has talked about moving up to 155

Brown said he's not fighting Nate and he respects Nate and likes to watch all Nates fights at 155

Those will be some good fights. Its been awhile since I had the chance to see Pettis fight "live".

I always like the FOX cards. I just wish they did the post fight interviews with both the winner and losers after all the FOX fights.

That would be nice

It would be nice if they would come back to Seattle also..

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.

If you watch the post fight shows on FS1, they usually have backstage interviews with winners and losers.

In other news, Phil Davis has signed with Bellator.

I wonder if the UFC still has matching rights? Davis isn't going to be a UFC champ, but he's still a top fighter in a division that's lacking contenders. 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.

It might be better for the UFC to let him go and hopefully he becomes bellator champ then the UFC can sign him back after he has more fame

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.
