MMA June - 50 Shades of Gray

[JWGunslinger]

That's too bad, I mean it was inevitable but like Guy said they gave us some memorable fights and moments.

Fitch is out of the UFC on Fuel 4 fight with Simpson, not that anyone's upset by this aside from Jon's family in SJ. Give him Paul Harris, he should be good to go by then.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

Dream has been on the edge for a while now. It sucks to see them go because they did have some good cards from time to time and it had a more international flair to it than the UFC.

Also I like Fitch, yeah a Fitch fan outside the Fitch family does exist. He isn't the most exciting fighter in the world but I always sorta liked the whole "You know what he is gonna do, yet no one can stop him" Helps that I am from Indiana and he and Torres are the two best fighters born in the state.....man I miss Chris Lytle

Oh shit, and JMT thought I was the only person who was like that.

Marquis loves Fitch too. I'll never understand it, lol.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

I find him more entertaining than Ben Askren

 

[JWGunslinger]

I enjoy watching paint dry more than Ben Askren so that's not really sayin much, but I gotcha. You Indianans definitely have one to be proud of in Lytle. I wish he'd done better with his political campaigning and landed that spot, I really liked his platform.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Bibiano Fernandes signed with the UFC. The UFC made a bunch of cuts today too.

Yeah, Dream is done. Wouldn't be shocked if we saw some big names sign with the UFC in the coming days.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

EA now is making UFC games. Not sure how I feel about this, EA MMA sucked.

 

[JWGunslinger]

Yeah he's set up against Roland Delrome, should be an easy enough fight.

The cuts were all justified, I felt bad about Massenzio because he's always been game. Can't believe Cantwell just now got cut after 5 straight losses.

I don't like the EA deal, scares me. They better stick close to the current formula. If I have to punch by flicking the thumb stick I ain't gettin it.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

I just wish Kamal had another chance to knew varner's nuts into oblivion.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Knee, I meant. Posting on your phone blows.

Brittney Palmer nearly got raped on TUF Brazil...

I think both THQ and EA had positives and negatives about their game. Neither was garbage in my opinion but neither put out a top notch game.

THQ was progressing toward a good all around MMA game, but as a whole the company was on the slide. In the last 14ish months they cancelled like 3 of their long running series, have cut a lot of jobs, and the overall quality of their games has gone down.

 

[JWGunslinger]

While most of the WEC transfers have done pretty well Kamal was probably the biggest letdown. He looked awesome there and then got wrecked in the UFC, sure he had stiff competition but I expected more from him.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

BJ Penn vs. Rory McDonald at UFC 152.

Hot Damn!

 

[jmt225]

It's about time a fight gets announced that makes me fucking PUMPED. I can't wait! War BJ!

 

[JWGunslinger]

Holy Shit, that is gonna be intense! As much as I love BJ, Rory can do more with a win here and he's entertaining. Gonna be a crazy good fight tho.

 

[Fizzy]

Anybody else think Dana was bribing a fighters to call BJ out? Thank god he's back, I'm fucking pumped.

 

[Shinjo]

BJ has a very very good chance to pull it off here. UFC has been underwhelming as fuck recently, this is some great fucking news.

Mike Sawyer ‏@TOUGHTALKMMA
Had an interesting conversation with someone VERY close to all the Brock Lesnar stuff. He is fighting THIS YEAR in UFC & not Frank Mir...
Mike Sawyer ‏@TOUGHTALKMMA
plans change all the time, but the name I was told isn't Roy.
Brian ‏@FrontRowBrian
If it's not Mir fighting Lesnar in UFC later this year as @TOUGHTALKMMA reports, who is it? @roynelsonmma? @stefanstruve? @ShaneCarwin II?
Mike Sawyer ‏@TOUGHTALKMMA
one of the above.

 

[Fizzy]

Stann is out of the Lombard fight. Throw Bisping in there

 

[jmt225]

Lesnar/Struve would be fantastic. I wouldn't mind Lesnar/Roy either. I do NOT want Lesnar/Carwin 2, though.

And is it just me or has this been the worst year for the UFC as far as injuries are concerned? Jesus....

 

[Fizzy]

Could be a blessing in disguise, give Lombard a big, popular guy like Bisping who looked great against Sonnen in an attempt to build him up. It's a win-win, if Lombard wins, he beat a big named, talented guy in Bisping, if Lombard lost, you have Bisping looking pretty damn good in terms of recieving a title shot.

 

[Fizzy]

And I agree, Lesnar/Struve would be amazing.

Marquis loves Fitch too. I'll never understand it, lol.

Ahem *cough noise* Fitch Bitch numero uno right here.
