Yeah, there's some weird s**t going on lately, Tim Sylvia would be kicking himself re: retiring recently.

do you buy into the Anderson v weidman 3 before the list of middleweights that could fight before then.
What's everyone's thoughts on Gleison Tibau? Has amassed 16 UFC wins now but to be honest watching him fight still doesn't interest me in the slightest.
Obviously deserves respect for what he's achieved but I just cannot get excited knowing that he's likely to grind out a decision.

I guess they like wheeling him out so they can talk about his amazing amount of wins. I've never watched an entire 15 minutes of him. I guess he's cheap enough that he doesn't get Fitched out of organisation.

Joe Rogan talks a big game about his concern with brain injury, looking forward to him talking up this.

Boring as s**t. Large number of split decision victories. How he beat dos Anjos is beyond me. Other than that he's never beaten anyone decent. Hovers at the lower end and gets picked off by guys like Johnson, miller and Dunham. Apparently he's a legend now though
If that happens - it would almost push me to the point of creating a twitter account to rant about the decision to DW.
Soooo hecking sick of this trilogy crap. Nobody wants to see belts logjammed for 12 months at a time, they want new and exciting matchups for their title fights 3-4 times a year.

Exactly. I want Weidman to fight the best whilst he's in his prime (he gets injured enough as it is). Anderson can heck offIf that happens - it would almost push me to the point of creating a twitter account to rant about the decision to DW.

Then Diaz wins and fights Cormier at 185 and once DC loses he moves to 170 and fights there for 3 years while Lawler & Big rig fight a few more times.Its okay, Diaz will beat Silva then its Diaz vs Weidman.
Nek minit, DC says after a win: 'Mighty Mouse, I'm coming for you boy!'

I think it is the weakest division x 100. Just little flies jumping around the joint. Decision decision decision.

Without doubt. Mighty Mouse it top glass. But it drops off quickly after the top 3. He should go up to 135 again before he gets too bored. I think he'd give that division a real go. Without cruz I think he could win the belt in both.

Nothing is worse than heavyweight.

Off topic, but I lolled at your avatar
This trilogy fascination has to stop, but the only way I can see it happening is an overhaul on how fights are made. The line between sport and entertainment is all too often blurred when it comes to the UFC. Based on the precedent set by the UFC there isn't a champion in any division who doesn't earn an immediate rematch if they lose a title fight, no matter how there fight plays out.
The 170 and 185 divisions are currently potentially interesting but stagnant due to the title fights promised or booked. Silva should not get a shot over Rockhold, Jacare or Machida if Weidman beats Vitor. Silva should fight Bisping (when he wins) or the winner of the other fight that doesn't earn the title shot. Rory should be fighting for the title too, he has earned his shot.
Make fights based on results and rankings and then market the fights and fighters from their results. Don't clog up divisions so that you can sell a card based on a rematch.
... Unless your name is Richie Vas.
No the tiny short people that have no KO power are worse
Henderson always has the H bomb chance, but that's about it in my opinion.

Hendo has a wrestling advantage too. I doubt he tries to stand and trade with Mousasi for too long and think it's all about whether he can take the fight to the ground. I favour Mousasi, but Hendo has a couple of ways to win.

Tumenov vs Musoke- hell of a fight.

Disagree, takedown advantage to Hendo but I think GM is too slick on the ground and should be able to transition either top or bottom.
