Tam3r0wn 12 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Inspired by the boxing news thread, and since we have a few MMA fans on here, I thought I would give it a go. I will try and update as often as possible.I will start with news from the past couple of days.UFC 127 is this Saturday, from Australia. It looks like a couple of title shots may be on the line (though I suspect Dana White is just hyping the event), George Sotiropoulos is on a 7 fight win streak and could get his shot with a win over Dennis Siver. But with Maynard, Pettis and perhaps Jim Miller ahead of him in the queue, seems a bit unlikely a win over Siver would get him a crack at the title. Best he can hope for is a number 1 contender fight imo.LinkBJ Penn faces off against John Fitch, with a shot at the title also apparently up for grabs. With GSP vs Silva in the pipeline for this year (assuming GSP defeats Shields), there may be more truth in this.LinkIn other news, Tito Ortiz is out of his bout with Little Nog at UFN 24, citing a bad cut as the reason. Phil Davis had been scheduled to face Matt Hammil originally at UFC 129(Hammil is now facing Rampage Jackson at 130) then Jason Brilz after Hammil was shifted, but now steps in to take on Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.Little Nog vs DavisHammil vs JacksonAlso there are the rumours that Thiago Silva has failed a drug test after his UFC 125 bout with Brandon Vera. This is the reason Hammil stepped in for him vs Rampage.Kenny Florian has announced a drop in weight to 145, and will face Diego Nunes at UFC 131.Florian vs NunesTanks for reading(if anyone does ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Togs 179 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Brilliant news about Phil Davis. I like the guy. He'll smash little nog I reckon. Rogerio hardly has a leg to stand on. Brilz beat him tbh and he was robbed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Togs 179 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Daley just 1st round KO'd Yuya Shirai. Didn't get the title cause he didn't make weight though.Ricco Rodriguez also dominated his way to a UD over James McSweeney. They were going on about how McSweeney is one of the best how in the world Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Maestro 11,024 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Funny to see Rivera doing nothing but complaining now, he talked shite and got his arse kicked.I used to like Rivera but not after this pish. Guy is irrelevant and is going straight back to the prelims. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv got all the respect in the world for GSP as a fighter...But I'd LOVE to see him get knocked out cold!!April 30th.Shields vs GSPI too want to see GSP KO'd, no real reason why. Maybe its just because he is the top man.As for his skill, the man is a surgeon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
