FrontRowBrian was pretty hit or miss last time i was following his updates, but take it for what you want.

This will serve as the retirement fight for both Bonnar & Griffin. Don't ask me who Mac is. He's an industry insider whom I correspond with

Great way for both to go out.

bonnar takes this one...........any takers on a bet.

Makes sense. I'm sure they will entertain again.

I hope Bonnar wins.

My socks, still wearing them.

You mean this isn't the fantastic LHW matchup you were waiting for? This is suppose to make you forget about all the relevant fighters out there getting screwed over daily.

I'm just upset about this:



UFC currently has 35 LHW fighters and this is what they are giving us from the division overall. With so few LHW fights happening, Bonnar vs Griffin doesn't account a whole lot.

I hear ya. It's pathetic. But so is everything the UFC is doing right now. I can't wait for Bellator to hit SPIKE, I get pumped up when I see those commercials playing on TV. They are going to start off on SPIKE with a bang too. Hawn vs Chandler, then we get Lima, Daley, Killa B in the WW tourny. I'm surprised the UFC isn't having a TUF: The Comeback 2 featuring Kimbo Slice and James Toney.

Whats so pathetic? One LHW match up. Get your panties out of a bunch.

IMO the UFC has to make Bader vs Davis. I also think lil Nog vs Matt Hamill would be a decent match to make or maybe lil Nog vs Jimmo. But I'd like to see lil Nog vs Hamill and Jimmo vs Te Huna. Then make something like Vera vs Vinny.

Big time whatever. Yeah the first fight was epic, but it was 7 years ago. Then Forrest beat him again, in a less entertaining, and less competitive fight.

It makes sense in terms of trying to squeeze every last ounce of milk out of a dieing cow. But who wants to drink milk from a dieing cow?

And they probably expect people to pay for this too.

Not as a main event. But it will be on a main card, rightfully so.
