MMA-UFC Fight Announcements

[MMAPride Scott]

Hi Guys thought id start a thread on fight announcements the main pages just gets so clogged on news, fight cards its too broad so thought a nice spot where fight announcements are seem pretty sweet

 

[MMAPride Scott]

Johnson v Dodson UFC 191 September
Rumble Johnson vJan Blachowicz

on the same card Paige VanZant will fight Aussie Alex Chambers
Rivera v Lineker

 

[BradWCE]

Mighty Mouse vs Dodson is a great fight. Dodson's last fight and the fact that Mighty Mouse has continued to improve, leads me to think that Mighty Mouse wins handily.

Rivera vs Lineker is such a fun fight.

so Duffy v Poirier UFC FN77

 

[Crimson Azure]

Great idea!

Would love to see Dodson vs TJ if Mighty Mouse wins.

yeah that TUF Finale was a short stoppage

 

[Guy Threepwood]

yeah that TUF Finale was a short stoppage

It was probably a bit quick, but it wouldn't have changed things. TJ's legs were gone and Dodson's power likely would have had him out soon after.

 

[BradWCE]

Duffy/Poirier is a great fight. It being a 5 rounder is great too, although there's a good chance it'll end within 3 rounds.

 

[MMAPride Scott]

Ruslan Magomedov vs. Shawn Jordan set for UFC 192 in Houston:

 

[MMAPride Scott]

Rumble had an opponent change to Manuwa

 

[BradWCE]

Don't think I've seen this on here. Lawler vs Condit is apparently up next for the WW title. Don't know if it's been 100% confirmed by the UFC, but I've seen reports that they're looking at having it at UFC 194.

You can question Condit getting the next shot, but it's an excellent fight.

 

[MMAPride Scott]

I love that fight, I saw yesterday that condit was calling for it but I don't think it's booked yet

Seriously.. Why.

[BradWCE]

Ugh, Belfort vs Henderson 3. It feels like they just fought, even though Hendo has fought a number of times since. Belfort fought Hendo, then Weidman and now Hendo again.

Mousasi's been calling out Belfort for a long time. I'd much rather see that.

 

[Nickos66]

would of liked to of seen Hooker in Melbourne

 

[BradWCE]

Diego Sanchez vs Ricardo Lamas announced for UFC Fight Night 79 in November.

I don't know why Sanchez is going down to 145. I really don't think it'll help him. It's a tough fight first up at the new weight class and I think Lamas wins this pretty easily. With that being said, Sanchez wins this by decision.

 

[Nickos66]

Benevidez vs Cejudo is on the cards, not signed yet but it looks to be going ahead.

 

[BradWCE]

Benavidez/Cejudo is a good fight. I hope Cejudo wins because that division needs title challengers, but I think Benavidez will be a bit much for him right now.

Hendricks/Woodley was recently made official. Another good fight and the winner should get the next title shot.

 

[MMAPride Scott]

yeah I like that fight, im a massive Hendricks fan I just want to see him with another shot. Either robbie or Condit

Until now, I would've thought the phrase "said no one ever" would've applied there.

Sorry to divert from the topic thread - what do you enjoy about his fights these days? The way I see it, he's shelved his heavy hitting standup days in favour of optimising his chances for victory by way of takedowns and ground control.
