Yes great idea Blades, let's do it. Official UFC thread!

im not sure i think i am just an honorary mod on here lol

pm AK

Alright I'll PM Trips first (since he's on more often than AK and I know he can do it).

And it's done, yay! Commence official UFC discussions!

Thread is fixed. Thanks guys!

UFC news of the say is silvia sonnen fight moved off the brazil car to UFC 148 .. that card gets that fight and cruz faber... plus franklin cung le and forrest tito... pretty stacked

Yeah, but I feel like it would have been much more epic if they fought in Brazil. Damn UN had to ruin that plan :shakes head:

and i bet they were worried about sonnen lol

i think they are gonna have jose aldo fight as the main even instead.... not sure who is a good match up for him at 145 at this point... that class is a bit thin compared to him...

but yeah 148 is stacked for sure... faber better win this damn time..although i found out cruz drives a black edition GTR like mine so i like him a bit more now lol



in other news overeem was expected was denied a license and is barred until atleast late december

I think Silva is going to destroy Sonnen this time. You know he's going to take this fight a lot more seriously and hopefully won't be fighting with an injury.

Don't know who they will be putting up against Aldo, but it won't matter since Aldo will dominate anyway.

Didn't know Cruz drove a black edition GT-R, but that's pretty cool. Come to think of it, I do remember them showing a GT-R in the parking lot on one of the episodes of TUF. I think Cruz is going to beat Faber again.

They did show Cruz driving off in his GT-R with Ronda Rousey in the passenger seat :p

Looks like Cruz tore his ACL and will be out for 6 to 9 months. Faber's going to fight for the interim title instead on July 7th.

Also, it looks like Jones vs Henderson has been booked for September 1st. I can't wait to see this fight! :tup:

you know you get the impression faber has always been desperate for a UFC belt thus moving down and down until he gets it.... so you would think this would be his sure fire chance...but they are talking about putting him up against than renan barao that dude is legit i think he is like jose aldos/marlon sandro's training partner so that might not be a gimme fight for faber

im curious about the hendo jones fight but at the same time i dont want to see dan destroyed or laying there like machida so i think he has got to make it a dogfight and get it done in the first few minutes... if jones sets the pace it will get ugly

:iagree: I thought the same thing about Faber when he immediately said there should be an interim belt... I personally didn't think he should have gotten an immediate rematch...

And your totally right about the Hendo vs. Jones fight. We saw Hendo hit the wall hard in his fight against Shogun. Jones' cardio is too good, he'll be smart to set a quick pace for the first few rounds (if it lasts that long). Having said that, I'm really pulling for Hendo.

Yeah same feeling here. Like Cruz said though, it's not the real belt, but only the #1 Contender's belt. They definitely waited longer for GSP before putting in an interim title.

I haven't really seen Renan Barao fight, but I would love to see Faber get his azz kicked. I think Cruz vs Faber was good for the new season of TUF, which was probably the main motivation for that fight in the first place.

Hendo's only chance of beating Jones is to catch him with a big punch early. I think Jones will dictate the pace of the fight with his reach and finish Hendo within the first 3 rounds.

this is a bit of a surprise
