Apparently, they have offered Rumble the fight. If true, seems to be the correct choice as these two were supposed to fight before Jones' hit and run.Starboxer wrote:Who will the ufc Replace comier with ?Starboxer wrote:Lancenix wrote:Cormier vs. Jones is off.

If it is Johnson then that is great. Yesterday I was listening to the radio and they said it would not be Johnson.Impractical Poster wrote:Lancenix wrote:Dana said it will not be Johnson like many are hoping.Starboxer wrote:

Dana did ask Jones people to delete a tweet that Johnson vs. Jones is on for UFC 197 and that is what I was referring to. Everything is just speculation at this point.Lancenix wrote:If it is Johnson then that is great.

Actually you are wrong (AGAIN I might add) Jones will be fighting Saint Preux at UFC 197 and not Anthony Johnson like you were so sure of happening after i said that Dana was reported to say that it would not be Johnson. You must feel so dumb once again. This is old hat for you though. It goes right through you like water.Impractical Poster wrote:Yeah, looks like it's going to be Johnson...

I was right it is not Johnson after all. You must feel so dumb once again for mocking my post.Impractical Poster wrote:Lancenix wrote:Dana said it will not be Johnson like many are hoping.Starboxer wrote:

"Obviously, the No. 1 choice would be Anthony Johnson, who is the No. 2-ranked guy in the world and a fight that everybody wants to see," White said, "but Anthony Johnson just had surgery on his mouth and can't even put a mouthpiece in for at least three weeks."
I bopped you again. Man I just use you like a piece of toilet tissue and discard you once again down the toilet and flush you.Impractical Poster wrote:
BOOM!!!Dana got asked that on a talk show in Canada and he got kind of upset. I do not mind it actually and it let's the UFC set up big cards and events for all 00's and 50's that come along.reggaereggae wrote:One thing I find odd, is why the UFC still number their fights like that..... It made sense at
The beginning when the event was new and there was always just one winner..... But now as its a standard 1 on 1 fight card it doesn't. When will they stop? At UFC 3,000?
Which is what I had already said that Dana said it would not be Johnson./ Man you got trashed. AGAIN.Impractical Poster wrote:Looks like rumors.Impractical Poster wrote:Yeah, looks like it's going to be Johnson...

Absolutely. Hard to believe as good as Gus is, he's lost 3 of his last 4. But, they were against the best.Starboxer wrote:A rematch with Gus would sell big
No I didn't. I generally don't go in for online PPVs. I would really like for an organization to form a nice middle ground between the ultra-restrictive IBJJF rules and sub-only rules which result in endless draws and some occasionally sloppy jiujitsu.EddieShredder wrote:Juji...

Think you've got two events mixed up IP.Impractical Poster wrote:Ferguson/Khabib is off.
Ironically, it's Tony who pulled out due to injury. Poor Khabib. The guy is finally healthy enough to fight and his opponent gets injured. If they can't find a replacement for Tony, Dos Santos/Rothwell will be the main event.
For F's sake. Such a good run of fights to look forward to. 2 already ruined.Impractical Poster wrote:Ferguson/Khabib is off.

Rothwell v Dos Santos is this Sunday afternoon at two on FS1, while Khabib v Ferguson was supposed to be next Sat. night on FOX.
Unfortunately, now Rashad Evans v Glover T is the new main event & rather than finding a replacement opponent for Khabib, they've pulled him from the card. Which REALLY sucks IMO. I'm actually a wee bit pissed about it.
OK, so Ferguson obviously can't go with blood/fluid in his lungs, but seeing as how Khabib is healthy enough to fight for the first time in two years, they should have booked a fight for him. Surely they could have found someone at '55 willing to step in against him on two weeks notice. Hell, I'll bet "Cowboy" would have stepped in for the right $$$.
They could have still bumped Evans v Teixeira up to the main event & just had Khabib fight a replacement in a 3 rounder.
Oh well, hopefully Khabib v Ferguson gets rescheduled quickly or he gets a title shot as Dos Anjos's foot should be healed by now.
As for Evans v Teixeira, I'll be cheering on my fellow Niagara Falls native, but I have a feeling that his best days are long behind him & I think the Brazilian might just stop him sometime in the last two rounds.
Did get them mixed up.
