Click thread to see how fucked up it would be if it happened today

Damn, Aldo and Rampage go down on the same day. Insane.

EDIT: Forgot Aldo and Rampage were suppose to be on the same card again. Found this thread looking for older Aldo thread but changed the title so I wouldn't be a dick.


LOOK AT THE DATE

Bigger bummer.

Faber has volunteered to fight Edgar for the interim title. He also said Mendes would fight Edgar.

Either fight would be great but no interim title is needed.

Hear are some matchups that I have "heard" are being thrown around. Nothing set in stone.

-

They are trying to get Anderson to fight Rashad. Rashad agreed but, he doesn't think he could make 185 in time so the fight might be held at 205.

Mendes vs Frankie for interim belt.

Frankie vs Nunes.

Frankie vs Dias.

Frankie vs KZ moved to the december card or January card.

Bonnar vs Glover


That's all I got.

They could fight a Franklinweight.

WHY INTERIM THO?

whoops...

really no need to get another one of those

lol at Urijah looking to just slide into the title picture at 145.

Though Faber vs. Frankie sounds good.

Ok MMA is starting to get gay with all these injuries.

I don't know if it's related, but Machida tweeted he "has a surprise coming"

Machida vs Glover, Okay!

I don't remember but I think they might be in the same camp. I remember watching FUEL a little while ago and someone was talking about their training partners and mentioned Glover. I think it was Machida. But I'm not sure.

Glover vs Wanderlei is the rumor now according to Machida.

"Right now, the one I wouldn't want to fight is Lyoto Machida," Teixeira said back in May. "I've trained with him, I help him out and he's a great guy. Whatever they tell me to do, I'll do, but if I could have a say, Lyoto would be the one I wouldn't want to fight."

They are buddies. But looks like Wand vs Glover is the rumor now.

Big Nog also saying he is ready to go. How about Nog vs Hunt?
http://www.mmamania.com/2012/9/12/3320352/ufc-antonio-rodrigo-nogueira-injury-update-mma

They need to pick atleast 2 of these 3 combos of fights for this card. Nog vs Hunt/Werdum, Frankie vs Mendes/Faber and Glover vs Wand/Bonnar/Jimmo. I'll be happy with any 2 of those matchups.

Yup there's no need for an interim title here, it's not like Aldo's going to be out for half a year.

Perhaps interim titles are used as marketing ploys now ?

"First of all, big Jose Aldo fan," Rebney on Wednesday told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "But second of all … really? You've got a major fight coming up."

"Motorcycles are dangerous – it's as simple as that," he said. "If your job is competing at the highest levels of 145 pounds on Earth, man, riding a bike is just a very tough one to make sense of."

"I think especially as the numbers get bigger and we make the transition to Spike and transition into bigger and bigger events, I could completely conceptualize contract terms that prohibit fighters from riding a motorcycle on the street," Rebney said. "It doesn't matter how good of a rider you are. All it takes is one idiot to change lanes without looking, and you're done.

"It's a pity because [Aldo] is a heck of a fighter, he's a great talent, and he's fun to watch fight, but that's just one of those things you can eliminate.(I think of) Paul 'The Punisher' Williams. Great, great boxer … rides a motorcycle and breaks his back. That's one that most guys, from a common sense perspective, could mark off the list."

Fuck Shelby and Joe Silva. I sent 1 tweet and I got Mark Hunt to agree to fight Fedor at UFC 153. Who wants to find us a co-main event to go with it?

I saw that, he's real cool with fans. Responds to most tweets

Yeah he is a great person to follow. He responds to most tweets, especially if he is active on twitter at the time. Just seems like a super cool guy. But looks like he is rehabbing and won't be in action until early 2013.
