MMA Calendar Updated

Why give Vera another top fight, a step up infac?

Mac Danzig still has a job, man he must be making sweet love to his TUF contract right now. By far the worst fighter to win TUF, even worse than Grove. If he losses he will be the second TUF winner to be released. He should win against Bulchoz there but then where. Maybe a fight with Pearson but really danzig looks really poor right now, a ton of LWs above him.

Nate shouldn't have to fight Sonnen, a step down. Nate should win this.

Cheers for those lads, Ill add the updates now, WTF is Vera getting Nog for? Nog is one of the best 205ers around Vera isnt top 10. I suppose he would have been if he got the win against Couture and a few people think he did.

What makes less sence is Nate vs Sonnen! What happened to Nate vs Vitor??? What is Vitor even doing with himself now? The Silva fight is ages off! Anderson is out for months!

Also removed Bean vs Tank

I added Mousasi in a K-1 fight to the NYE card.

Added Vladimir Matyushenko v Steve Cantwell to UFC 108

And updated Bitetti Combat card, removing Monson and the Pedro Rizzo vs Valentijn Overeem fight adding a few others, I think Filho is one fight off hand and a few unknowns.

Updated Strikeforce Evolution card with a few lesser known fighers as well

Matt Hughes has confirmed he'll be facing Renzo Gracie on April 10th.

Dong Hyun Kim has been forced to pull out of his UFC 110 bout against Chris Lytle due to a knee injury. Shame, it would probably have been a good fight.

PRIDE vet and former world cruiserweight boxing champion Youske Nishijima is Mousasi's opponent for NYE Dynamite!! (k1 rules)

cheers for the updates lads ill get the callendar updated tomorrow, Ive got to add on Werdum vs Arlvoski to the rumours, Werdum said its happening in Feb/March

OK the WEC 46 card is finalised and the WEC 47 card is up with Miguel Torres and Brian Bowles defending his title, Also Jens Pulver is fighting

There are a load of changes to UFC 108 cause of injury

Robbie Lawlors opponent Trevor Prangley has pulled out of strikeforce injured!! No word on a replacement yet. And Lashley will debut on the event after that.

Hughes vs Gracie added to UFC 112

Machida vs Shogun added to UFC 113

Dong Hyun Kim out of the Chris Lytle fight at UFC 110 and no word on a replacemnt.

Finally a Load of fights announced for the Dynamite!! 2009 New Years Eve card. Overeem, Mach, Sefo etc..

Hopefully im going to UFC 112, I really hope they get some good fights there. I heard Silva vs Belfort was rumored.

Dynamite!! 2009 New Years Eve card.

MMA bouts

DREAM Super Hulk Grand Prix 2009 Finals

Looks like a really exciting card, the return of the Kid! Mach vs Gono should be a good one, if they have recovered from those HKs! Soku vs Minowa is a good one as well ans I hope Ol Ironhead KTFO of Overoid.

should be really good.

5 or 6 more fights to ba added apparently.

hopefully Crusher/Aoki/Saku will fight.

also the DREAM vs SRC are 3x 5 minutes. BOOOOOO!!

10 minute first round is the rule i would change from the unified if i could only change one.

hopefully there will be knees on the ground. Do Sengoku normally allow this.

also what do we think will be main event?
If FEG get there way probably Masato/Souwer, if SRC do, probably Ishii/Yoshida, if i had my way it would be Fedor/Barnett

I think Aoki has been confirmed already, check the callendar. not 100% but I heard he was. Im sure Crusher will get a new opponent, I wonder who for Saku, he is on the up again after beating Zelg. Maby a Manhoef rematch because he has been confirmed for the card apparently thats why he couldnt fight Lawlor

Anyway Mir vs Carwin for the INterim Title at UFC 111 has been added, against im not 100% on it but im hearing it from a few placec..

Also Lil Nog is injured and can make UFC 109, Jon Jones will replace him! Told you all Joe Silva would act like he beat Hamill and give him better opposition, This should be a great fight!!

Aslo rmumours for Strikeforces April card are

Hw Title: Fedor Emelianenko v Alistair Overeem
Mw Title: Dan Henderson v Jake Shields

Hendo was apparently offered both Mousasi and Shields but It though he will fight Shields.

if that happens i dont think we will see Mousasi in the USA any time soon, he is only allowed to fight on the strikeforce cards that Fedor is on, and they wont put 3 titles on the line on 1 card!

That seems strange to me, The Babalu fight wasnt on the same card as Fedor. Unless his contract changed 1 figth into his Strikeforce career id assume he can fight without Fedor?

Glad this one will be on TV, Only the Co-Promoted events are shown on Bravo as far as I know. Its good that Fedor fights get shown over here, Affliction and Strikeforce cards he has been on have all got shown. Goot the see the Russian sportsman of the year getting some exposure!!

Shame Bravo dont commit fully to MMA, If they showed Strikeforce cards or Dream cards im sure people would watch them!

Ye it looks like a really fun card, Japanese cards are always really fun. I actually have no idea what the main even will be, maybe Overoid vs Fujita? A few fights to be added yet if Aoki fights im sure he will be in the main event. Very exciting fight and I actually would prefer it if Barnett vs Fedor didn't come on. Reason being it takes away all the spot light from these fighters, these guys deserve there credit.

Early predictions, Overoid, Aoki, Mach, Soku and Ishii.

Lashleys opponent for Strikeforce is shane del rosario. Glad to hear, he looks a decent fighter. At least it isnt Waterman who Is probabally a step down from Sapp!

Is Waterman really that bad? 16-6 and has wins over former UFC champions Ricco Rodriguez and Randleman and Valentin Overeem. He submitted the last two with his panted keylock, he isn't that bad. Certainly better than Sapp.

Waterman is a good fighter who would have been a good test for Lashley.

Lawlor-Prangley is off and Lawlor is off the strikeforce card, most likely to fight in Jan now.

Yeah I heard that, Shit one for Lawlor, Im sure he trined hard you think Strikeforce could have put someone in with him even some Journeyman just to keep him busy...

Anyone seen the latest pics of Lesnar? Looks mean with the beard!

http://www.mmamania.com/2009/12/17/1205999/when-will-brock-lesnar-fight-next

His weight is down from 300lbs to 275lbs it says. Imagine being bigger than most WWE wrestlers when you are sick and have lost loads of weight!! Hope he gets better for the Summer, It seems ages since we last saw him fight. Frank Mir is Probabally Drinking Protein shakes and saying "come on your nearly bigger than him"

Thats not Brock !!


Thats the dean of mean on roids


He still looks huge though, Mir has his work cut out for him.

IF he gets past Carwin! I dont know who will win this one, Mir looks great recently and will be a favorite against Shane. but Carwin has smashed everyone in a matter of seconds, theres every chance Mir could go that way too. I wonder what Carwins gameplan will be? Will he stand and try to land one of those lunchboxes or try and GnP such a dangerous Sub guy?

and Yeah that really does look like Jardine on Roids!

Thats the dean of mean on roids



Brilliant

UFC 113 rumour

Rich "Ace" Franklin vs Patrick "the Predator" Coté

Nooooo I hate it when this happens. Two of my favourite fighters up against each other. What is going on, is Rich back to 185? This should be an exciting fight and I think Rich will take this though by UD. Tough break for Coté, after such a long break they give him Franklin. Not the best match-making.
