This is another super sick card from top to bottom. Now that more young contenders are emerging in each division we are getting more and more good matchups, nice card.
So is CroCop done if he loses to Big Ben?
Silva vs. Bisping should be interesting.
I think Cro-cop is about done either way.
Sick card. Can’t wait!!!
Sick Card, the only one i’m really looking forward to.
sick card dude!
Sotiropoulos has been steadily improving since TUF and i for one think he’s going to run a clinic on “joe daddy”.
I have always been a cro cop fan, but i have a bad feeling about this one. He has looked terrible since his return to the octagon dude and big ben’s out for redemption with some heavy hands!
big nog vs cain should be interesting. if cain can avoid a sub, i think he might be able to GnP a tko or a decision.
jardine vs bader,
hopefully bader will come strong and send jardine to strikeforce.
Agree on G-Sot (yea thats rite I just gave him a J-Loesque nickname) He’s solid and well rounded, Joe hasnt been lookin great lately.
Cro-Cop is no more
Bader still has a ? over his head, he’s got power and wrestling so we’ll see
I have to agree with everyone’s Cro-cop’s sentiments. I think he may be done too. But who knows, maybe he can score a big knockout and have Joe Rogan screaming “Cro-cop is back!!!!!” That’s the only thing that would save him from being cut soon after I think.
I dont see it being a wise decision to cut him if he wins. He still has name recognition. I think he will either have to quit on a win or get cut on a loss.
I think if he wins though, he will stay in the UFC.
I agree that it wouldn’t be a wise decision- he is still a draw for many fans. It’s just it’s hard to justify his bigger salary, and with every loss, less and less people are interested to see him fight, making him less of a draw. Thus being less of a moneymaker for the UFC. If he loses I wonder if it would be the point where they would just cut their losses. It’s not like he can fight a main event, unless he racks up a few impressive wins.
I used to always think it sucked when the main even was a 3 round fight. But my mind has been changed a few times in the past and now this fight has the potential to be a great 3 round fight. I wonder if Nog will try to stay standing either way hope he has a training partner willing to punch him in the face 200 times from guard while he tries to submit him. Cain has no stop in him.
My question is when Bonnar loses again will Dana keep him?
On Bonnar, Dana said he and Forrest will always have a job with the UFC.
A job. Not necessarily fighting. Bonnar can work with UFC in some other way then fighting.
i hate to say this but i dont like the counts chances in this match, big nog will sort cain out imo, i hope carwin an mir get put together then its like an semi final to fight brock when hes fit cos imo carwin doesn’t deserve a shot, anyways solid card looking 4ward to it the aussies have struck gold with this card
i used to hang with sotiropoulos in geelong australia, great bloke(person to u yanks), excellent dicipline and crazy fighter…..wish him the best of luck in his ufc carear
Im from Aus and im going to see this Card, I cant wait to be there
Wandy needs this win to put him a back in game, I think bisping gets rocked again by the hungry axe murderer. I really hope(no disrespect to cain)Big nog pulls out a convincing win i love that guy.Hope little nog gets better soon
