And then add McGregor on to that!

The rumour is that the UFC is planning on coming back to Dublin before the end of 2013, so it makes sense for him to walk through Ogle to then give him someone more high profile like Brandao or Bermudez as the main event in Dublin.

Did anyone watch Cathal Pendred the other night? God, what an arse that guy is. So incredibly unlike able and he's just stealing everything McGregor says. He's gonna get fecking battered in the UFC should he ever get there.

That lad is a complete prick. More importantly, he is one of the dullest fighters I've ever seen. I'd be amazed if he lasted more than two fights in the UFC before being culled.

I see what you're saying about McGregor. If they do plan on hosting an event in Dublin, then keeping the momentum with McGregor by feeding him an "easy" opponent would be a good idea.

:drool: @ Aldo vs Pettis. Can't wait for that.

Is Machida back in line for a title shot if he beats Davis? Can't be far off a rematch. I think Gustaffson and Hendo are ahead though aren't they?

Jones is mad to fight Gustaffson. It's a fight that should suit him stylistically.

I'd prefer to see Hendo going for the middleweight belt personally. I can't see him getting close enough to Jones to land too many hay makers on him.
 
Surprised Machida is fighting Davis, personally I'd have him fighting for the title and I still stick by saying he's the biggest threat to Jones in the LHW division itself. Don't really see what a fight with Davis does for him at all, certainly one I'd expect him to win too. Guess if they're doing Gustafsson/Jones in the meantime then he needs something to do.
 
Sonnen/Shogun confirmed for the Boston card alongside Overeem/Browne, Faber/Alcantara, Brown/Alves, Hall/Ring and more.

Quality card.
 
Good to know rosi sexton is finally getting the coverage she deserves. Shewas on 5 live today and im sure she will give a good representation of uk female mma next weekend

One of the nicest fighters I have met. She is great at seminars as she is always willing to impart knowledge, plus she comes over a a very clever articulate and well balanced person.

Might be an issue moving up in weight but if the ufc do bring in a lower weight division she would surely be a title contender
 
Pumped for tonight's show, really hoping Rashad picks it up tonight and get's a victory, expect him to.

And Mazzagatti is verging on a disgrace after that Fitch/Burkman fight. Pathetic.

Did anyone see what happened to John Fitch last night? Just saw the fight on the net. He was out of it and Mazegatti never realised. His opponent Josh Burkman let go of the choke.

Feel sorry for Fitch, as his career has gone down the drain over the last 18 months. And he comes across as quite bitter since his departure.

Not a great card tonight.

Predictions

Hendo
Nelson
Jimmo
Barry
 
I'm just watching UFC on Fuel 10 from the other day, holy feck! Those elbows from Felipe Arantes from the top position were brutal!
 
Come on Hendo. I can't see him beating Jones because he won't get close enough, but we've already seen that Rashad doesn't stand much of a chance either.

Both of them could drop to middleweight and be obvious contenders.
 
That's tight. Rashad definitely won the third. The first two were close. Personally I would have just about given them both to Henderson.

Might be a split decision.
 
Right decision in the main event, had Rashad winning that one. Not sure why they didn't make that a five rounder though.

And last night again proved my point regarding what I was saying about Roy Nelson. Got torn apart.

Pettis injured. Lamas next in the rankings but gets overlooked in favour of the Korean Zombie. I'm guessing they want Aldo to retain so they can ensure a superfight with Pettis.
 
Weidmann is definitely a more interesting challenge for Anderson than most he's faced. Looking forward to that one. Don't see much of a contest between Edgar & Oliveira though. Expect Franky to come back to the winning ways in this one.
 
feck! Weidman vs Anderson is tonight?!I'm stuck at work till the morning. :(

Yeah duffer, I think he has a chance, it"ll all depend if he can keep Silva on the ground though.
