Rumor Mill

Certain people are writing 'trash-talk' scripts for Jon Jones in order to compensate for Jones' apparent 'lack of aggressive personality.'
The marketing angle that will be used at UFC 135 will depict Jon Jones as the respectful and true martial artist that appreciates the sport (similar to Georges St. Pierre), while Rampage Jackson will be depicted as an 'athletic animal' and a 'beast' that behaves as such. Don't be surprised if Rampage's 'motoboating' incident, seemingly 'disrespectful' stuff that he has said to other fighters, and Jackson's homosexual remarks are used in order to market UFC 135. In short, a very large 'beef' will be created between the two fighters.

Rampage Jackson was allegedly involved in an altercation outside of a San Francisco nightclub last week. In order to avoid/evade authorities after the incident, he made his way into a San Francisco bar and told the owner 'Let me in, I'll tweet about your bar. It'll be the number one bar in the city by tomorrow.' The owner then told Rampage that he had thirty minutes to get out of his bar or he would call the police. It's not clear whether he was booted from the place or left on his own accord, but within thirty minutes, Rampage was no longer inside the bar. There is security footage of this entire incident.

Brett Rogers was going to be released from Strikeforce before his domestic violence arrest.

It appears that Cris Cyborg has signed with One FC and she will most likely make her debut in Singapore in September.
As rumored earlier this week, plans for EA Sports MMA 2 is well underway.

Due to Amanda Lucas' involvement DEEP! 55 Impact, there's a rumor that the event will be relabeled 'DEEP wars.' Sounds too campy to be true.

Andrei Arlovski, Keith Jardine, Kendall Grove, Drew McFedries and Tim Sylvia will most likely participate in ProElite.

""I was in Las Vegas when the Nog brothers first touched down. There was a bus that pulled up at a red light and little nog tried to feed it a carrot and big nog started petting it, he thought it was a horse. This really happened, he tried to feed a bus a carrot! Now you're telling me their country has computers!? I didn't know that."

Love him or hate him this is some funny stuff.

Sonnen is great. Nobody has a mouth like his in MMA

If you could take 6 years of his age and give him world class submission defense he could be a superstar

Not worth it's own thread but M-1 26 tomorrow

Arthur Guseinov +155
Tyson Jeffries -190

This fight interests me. Guseinov (7-2) has some awesome flashy kicks but little ground game and not great cardio. He went into the 4th round in has last fight against Luigi Fioravanti but showed some terrible takedown defense. Prior to that he lost to Beslan Isaev. These are his two toughest opponents. Jeffries does not have the greatest record (7-5) but is a bigger fighter who can use his length on the ground. In his last fight he got brutally punished with body shots in a second round TKO loss to Magomed Sultanakhmedov.

Going go with a 0.25 unit bet on Guseinov. If he is going to win it is in the first round and a half. I can see him tagging Jeffries but remains to be seen if he can put him away

"the bunker"
:toast: ...good job,bud...

i was watching the showtime pre-fight and based on their info,weichel looked like as close to a lock as they come....snuck one in,not because i capped it,but because showtime basically laid it out as a mismatch.....it was only -190.....i had looked at it and originally left it alone because baker had fought some fights at 170 and was naturally bigger...

again,great call,uk.....:0074

Baker was in trouble wherever that fight took place. On the feet he was a couple of levels below Weichel and on the ground the European has 16 wins by submission so that would be hard battle.

Overall the show was good. The KO by Guseinov was awesome. The speed was lighting quick. Jeffries needs to stay away from European stand up fighters for a while

Main event was fun though Bennett played his opponents game and paid for it

i thoroughly enjoyed it...i liked garner`s aggressiveness.....if he dropped down to 205(he`s pretty loose),he might be fun to watch...
