Warriorfan 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2008 UFC 92 was a perfect ending for MMA this year! I think Dana has learned his lesson from the Cro Cop fiasco and will set up Evans vs Rampage immediately. Brock vs Mir oustrips Penn vs GSP for me in terms of the biggest fight in 2009. If Brock( and he will) beats Mir, it demands that Brock fights Fedor if the Affliction champ is successful in his title bout. Fedor and M-1 has already called out Brock and the UFC to a cross-promotional event... They did it like 2 days after he won the title, lol Yes, but at that time the idea of a cross-promotion showdown wasn't as advantagous to White and the UFC. Brock vs Mir 2 should be the biggest PPV event in MMA history and make the Brock the biggest attraction in the history of the sport. He will be the undisputed champ with 2 million people viewing his defeating Couture and Mir back to back. That kind of momentum makes it a can't lose situation for White. Its the biggest fight White can make in the Heavyweight division. And if Brock loses he can simply claim some sort of contractual disagreement and setup a tournament to crown a new champ where Brock would still be the favorite.

Brock HAS BEEN the biggest attraction in the history of the sport for a good little while now, where have you been? And Dana claiming "some sort of contractural disagreement and setup a tournament" to put the belt back on Lesnar if he lost? Are you smoking crack like your idol the Warrior? Dana is out to legitimize MMA as a sport, and pulling some hokey pokey EliteXC-type bullshit like that is exactly what he would never do...That sounds like a terrible storyline ripped straight out of a WWE creative meeting...and no matter how hard you wrasslin fans try, MMA and pro wrasslin are two entirely different ballparks.

Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2008 Well, I for one am amped for Mir vs. Lesnar II, if only to see Lesnar showcase how far he has come since his last fight with Mir and destroy him. Man, I'm late to the party here and all, but watching Nog last night was just freakin' heartbreaking. He just can't do it anymore, so it seems anyway. Page wants Griffin before a title shot, according to Sherdog. And Nog is interested in fighting Randy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First, address me as SENSEI. Brock just got the biggest combined PPV record this year, that may seem like a long time you but by any reasonable measure it is a recent occurence. To your next point. If Brock lost the title to Fedor do you believe that the UFC, the premiere MMA company in the world would go without a heavyweight champion for an extended period of time because of it? I know I'm just a "Wrasslin fan" and a follower of the " Crack smoking Warrior" but it seems that anyone with the slightest bit of reason would recognize that they need a standard bearer in the form a Heavyweight champ.

AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2008 A Fedor/Brock interpromotional fight has about as much of a chance happening as me being signed to a UFC contract. (a) I don't believe Dana would risk his new meal ticket against someone of Fedor's caliber, and (b) no way would Dana give Affliction that kind of recognition by signing such a fight.

Hawkius Maximus 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2008 UFC and Affliction will never work together. Ever. The *ONLY REASON* Dana wanted to work with PRIDE back in the day, is because PRIDE was the bigger company and in a different region. UFC would only be helping Affliction. Dana White will never do it. Ever. It's literally not even worth discussing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warriorfan 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2008 When White purchased PRIDE he still recognized Henderson as both the Light-Heavyweight and Middleweight champion and billed both the Rampage and Silva fights as UNIFICATION bouts!

So, in your non "Wrasslin" tainted brilliance; you would expect the UFC and Affliction to have their champions fight without titles being on the line? Jesus Christ, you're a complete fucking idiot. Do you even think before you post? There will never, ever, EVER be a UFC/Affliction event. Hell, when Dana first heard Donald Trump and Affliction were looking to start a promotion he IMMEDIATELY banned all of his guys from wearing any affliction clothing during the UFC events. Dana has been quoted NUMEROUS times after they conquered Pride stating that they aren't and never would be interested in a cross-promotional event. When White purchased PRIDE he still recognized Henderson as both the Light-Heavyweight and Middleweight champion and billed both the Rampage and Silva fights as UNIFICATION bouts! I apologize for derailing the thread by responding to the non wrasslin fan. Look at the third word in your post there and ponder on it a while. There is a HUGE difference in billing fights as unification bouts when you OWN both promotions as opposed to UNIFYING your title with a rival promotion that you have been VERY open in the public about not wanting to have anything to do with... and non-wrassling fan? hardly...just not a delusional wrasslin fan who expects WWE storylines from the MMA world...hell, I have family who has been in the wrasslin business for DECADES and fairly well known, at that.

HollywoodSpikeJenkins 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2008 They aren't even in the same company. The PRIDE/UFC Unification Fights happened because PRIDE went out of of business and Zuffa bought them. They were unification fights under one company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shooter in a Wedding Dress 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2008 It's a scenario that will never happen. The only way that fight happens is if Brock leaves the UFC. That's the most likely way for it to happen and that's about as likely as me shitting 4 quarters after eating a dollar. So unless you see a need to discuss my ass making change I don't see a need for us to discuss something just as likely. Awesome show, I think I'd rather see Rampage/Forrest 2 before Rampage/Griffin, but either way. The light-heavyweight division is all kinds of crazy. Rampage beats Liddell, Forrest beats Rampage, Silva beats Jardine but Jardine beats Liddell but Liddell beats silva and Evans beats Liddell and Forrest who beat Rampage but Rampage beat Liddell but yeah you get the point. Try ranking that division without getting a headache. And can't wait for Mir/Lesnar 2. I was hoping for Nog/Lesnar but that was a win win either way, the rematch will do more for Brock.
