I'm guessing it's for back up in case diaz pulls a Diaz.

For me, I just want Gsp to fight anyone.
I want him to dismantle every name in the division.
Ellenburger, Hendrix, Diaz, miai,kampmann and rory.

Ill watch any of those fights.

It's the same for silva. I want him facing new people and not guys he's whooped.
I want him vs r.evans the most.

Yea, Dana said last night that they have "nine welterweights in the top five" on that card ready to step in if necessary. :lol:

Please do yourselves a favor and listen to the mma impersonator on Ariel's show this week.

The "use 20 words to describe your career" by Vitor Belfort was absolutely priceless. I'm laughing out loud at my desk at 8 in the morning, this is awkward.

“I got in a grappling match in the cage with Nick The Tooth. He’s actually a friend of Dana’s. It’s actually going to be in one of Dana’s video blogs coming up pretty quick here. Basically, the premise was that every time I submitted Nick, I got $1000 and if Nick could submit me then he got $2,500. So, I had three minutes to grapple with him and I banged out six submissions. So, I had a very good weekend.”

Dana posted it. Classic cameo by Rogan at the end:

Josh Barnett is on Rogan's podcast again. Only about 45 minutes in but pretty much everything so far has been mma/combat sports. Josh rubs me the wrong way when he gets into his warrior spiel, but the dude is knowledgeable as hell when it comes to this sport, not surprisingly at all.

Eff yeah.

IDK what thread we were discussing this in, but Dana said twice pre 155 that the ufc has 475-480 guys.

Jasen777 · Post #890 » by **Jasen777** » Sat Dec 29, 2012 4:29 am

Was this the context?

http://www.5thround.com/134753/dana-whi ... marijuana/

“Everybody thinks that if you did this random testing you’d catch so many guys on PEDs,” White stated. “No, you’d catch more of the guys on marijuana. That’s where you’d really bust a lot of guys. So [we've got] 475 guys under contract and 400 of them would be out with marijuana [suspensions].

REDDzone · Post #891 » by **REDDzone** » Sat Dec 29, 2012 6:30 am

He said it twice. Once there, and once in the Ariel interview.

But, yep.

That is no surprise.

Head to most BJJ or muay thai gyms and guys will be smoking.
(At home of course, not at the gym.)

I am totally okay with it, and think that it should be legal, up until 48 hours before fight.

I am stoned watching them all fight stoned, so it kind of works out well for everyone.

Can I just say that Tito Ortiz becoming Guyborg's manager and advising her against cutting to 135 and signing with the ufc is just too awesome for words.

Just imagine Dana so smug thinking he never has to deal with Tito again, then finding out he is managing fighters he wants to sign and advising them not to sign with him. lol

Of course I would be a lot less amused by this situation if I gave a sh*t about wmma.

"Cyborg needs to get on the boat," said White. "If she wants to fight in the UFC, she'll have to fight this category of 135 pounds. The stupidest thing about it is that she has Tito Ortiz as his manager."

Dan Severn has officially retired. He wanted to do a retirement tour with Royce, Coleman, and Ken Shamrock, but it didn't materialize.

^ Beast.
Hope he has a nice retirement.

Also.....how dope is this?

Bisping talking about Belcher and Boetsch losing:

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/mma--micha ... 17727.html

Obviously commiserations are in order for my former fellow top five contenders Alan Belcher and Tim Boetsch, who both came up short in big fight at UFC 155 on December 29. Belcher lost to Yushin Okami and Boetsch lost to Costa Philippou. I respect all my fellow fighters, and I know the agony of defeat, so heartfelt commiserations to both of these two fine, upstanding gentlemen.

Now I’ve got that obligatory fluffy stuff out of the way, I’d like to say I’m looking forward to these two simpletons keeping their pie holes shut about me for a little while. Those two have been calling me out and talking crap for months, and I would have got some real enjoyment beating them in the Octagon but two no-marks took that glory.

Belcher lost every minute of every round in a fight so boring I was afraid my brain was going to melt and start to dribble out of my ears. It was like someone detonated a nuclear bomb of boredom in the arena – everyone in the seats around me was playing Angry Birds.

What delusions of grandeur Belcher has. This is a guy who didn’t fight for a year after giving himself career-threatening eye-strain by watching too much internet porn, and he thinks he’s god’s gift to MMA. He even told UFC president Dana White that after he beat Okami, he’d fight me on January 19 if something happens to Belfort. This is a guy who got his arse kicked by two guys I smashed (Yoshihiro Akiyama and Jason Day) but he thinks he can not only beat me on a couple weeks’ training, but also assumed he was getting passed Okami, who is not to be underestimated.

Anyway, now we don’t have to listen to this guy anymore. Back to the undercard, sunshine!

That really leaves myself and Chris “Sick Note” Weidman, a nice humble guy who’s got plenty to be humble about, at the top of the rankings. And as Chris retired last June, there’s no doubt I’m the No.1 contender to Anderson Silva’s world middleweight title.

Hit me up on Twitter @bisping, as ever, Hendo gifs are welcome.

I detest Bisping, but "Hit me up on Twitter @bisping, as ever, Hendo gifs are welcome." is awesome.

I think he's a far more entertaining talker than Sonnen.

Bisping's trash talk is a lot more based in reality and a lot less scripted, that's for sure.

K1NG · Post #900 » by **K1NG** » Fri Jan 4, 2013 7:50 am

It's been said many times, but reading it in Bisping's voice makes it infinitely more amusing.
