Cormier wants on the Boston card

Quote :

"I want to fight on the first card on FOX Sports 1 in Boston on Aug. 17, and I hope my man Chael Sonnen is fighting Wanderlei Silva next to me," he said. "Put us on the card, boss."

I do to. I'm calling out Bisping ryeNOW!

Scrap the Browne fight and just go ahead with Love Handles vs. Ubereem.

Not really a fight that makes much sense anymore. Before Reem lost it would have made sense to unify the SF HW title and SF HW GP title. But DC is at the very least the #3 HW in the World.
Maybe he can fight the Nog vs Werdum winner? That fight isn't far away.

I'd rather keep Werdum for Cain in the fall.

I doubt very much that people have lost interest in Cormier vs. Overeem, despite the loss to Big Foot he's still a top ten HW.

I don't see the point in DC vs Reem. Reem deserves someone closer to Struve at this point.

I'd love Reem vs Cormier. Lot of good reasons to make it happen.

I guess, if you really hate DC. Reem tested positive for roids then gets smashed by Bigfoot. So fighting the #1 contender just doesn't makes sense to me. But hey I understand Reem fans love them some Reem.

Best bet would be Roy Nelson just looking around at who doesn't have a fight.

Don't give me that 3rd grade nonsense about loving Reem and hating Cormier. The history of HW MMA dictates Cormier and Overeem should one day meet in the cage to burn off loose ends. Maybe not in their next fights, but someday, it must happen.

Let's go over history. Overeem was the champ of all titles in the SF GP semifinals fresh off a revenge win over Fabricio Werdum who just shocked the world against Fedor. Overeem was the heavy favorite to win the GP that summer.

Meanwhile, Shane Del Rosario tapped Lavar Johnson to become the SF GP Alternate, but the tourney was taking to much time so the booked him into a match with the hottest HW prospect available, one Daniel Cormier. Del Rosario was tragically injured by a drunk driver and Jeff Monson was booked in his place against DC. Cormier won all rounds and earned his position as the GP Alternate.

Fast Forward to fall, Overeem cannot oblige to the scheduled time frame for th tournament and the betting favorite to win the GP is removed and subsequently released from the promotion. His match with Bigfoot Silva would not happen until nearly two years later. He leaves as the Champions of all lines sans the SF HW GP Champion.

Enter the Alternate, Cormier, not the favorrite to win out in the GP. He faces and crushes Bigfoot Silva. He moves to the finals and wins all rounds against Barnett. He takes the Championship and even fights a smash match before making his UFC debut this spring beating long time vet and former champion Frankson Mir.

Overeem defeats former chump Brock Lesnar then suspension Hiatus! His return is against the man he was supposed to originally face in the SF HW GP, Antonio Bigooft Silva, who lost to the reigning HW Kingpin and got a uber lucky against Travis Browne to set up this fight which was originally booked nearly two years ago. Bigfoot waits, survives and capitalizes on the less then ubereem. Smashes him down and spits on his grave. Would that of happened two years ago? Who is to say? The very fact it might not of is enough for me to speculate how the GP might of turned out had Reem still been in it, had DC not been advanced to replace reem and so on. The leaving released Champ and the Alternate turned GP Champ have an unwritten history that needs to be resolved someday. I don't think it will be their next fight but I don't care if it is, I'd welcome it. The match up is without explanation intriguing. Mir and Overeem are roughly the same size, one is 12 times more dangerous standing one is 4 times more dangerous on the ground, both have stamina issues but assumable discrepancies in strength and mobility, it's a fight. It should happen. Cormier should have the chance to stamp out Overeem's legacy with SF permanently, replace him as more then just an alternate. No matter who they win or lose against in the future, this is a destined fight.

Reem test positive for roids and loses his title shot.
Reem gets blasted and KTFO by Bigfoot.
All this while DC DJ Khaled.

Reem is much closer to Struve right now then he is DC. Fact. Especially non-roided Reem, which is not the same man that has been cheating his entire HW career.

It's 100% verified fact that Reem has been cheating for years now. It was verified when he tested positive. Not that it wasn't 99% certain before that anyways. But now we have the positive test and the non-roided Reem getting KTFO. We have the proof. Maybe he should check that TRT route since years of roids have left him a shell of a man.

Id rather see Browne vs Reem. DC would make a boring fight vs Reem before the ref pulls him off. Silva can find a catchweight fight for DC. He needs to ne thinking LHW anyway.
