he says he has a termination clause and exercised it when after 45 days bellator refused to release their PPV numbers to him after the king mo fight. he's supposed to get $ based on PPV buys.

croker says he's still under contract and will legally enforce it. hopefully it doesn't turn in to an alvarez-esque legal battle shit show

It involves Rampage, of course it's going to be a shit show :lawl:

I didn't' watch it but I heard that there was a gross loud crack when he hit that kick

Ah here it is

UFC is moving from sportsnet to TSN/Fightnetwork. From what it looks like, TSN will show PPV prelims, FOX events, and North American Fight Night events. And it sounds like events that would be on Fightpass might be shown on Fightnetwork now? I dont currently have Fightnetwork, but isnt it only available in SD not HD?

damnn.. another injury for Dominick Cruz..

Former UFC champ Dominick Cruz sidelined indefinitely with another ACL injury | MMAjunkie

I guess they'll give that fight to Barao

Raphael Assuncao also announced that he broke both ankles during training...

I can't think of any other contenders now lol

At this point I wonder if Cruz will contemplate retiring

or suicide.




poor guy was at the peak of his game and the division just as money started pouring into the weight class, and he will now have 1 fight in 4-5 years. never got a chance to make the money that he would have.

CM Punk Chooses Training Camp For MMA Career - WrestlingInc.com

Punk will be training at Roufusport... Anthony Pettis, Duke Roufus, Ben Askren.... Some pretty talented guys he'll be training with!

ben askren was tweeting how it was a joke dana said he needed more experience when punk was signed...

i'm still waiting for the epic signing of the green ranger for the superfight!

Im liking the idea of cm punk vs green ranger lol. the media's been writing stories on how it makes sense and i agree

UFC might not like it as they want to avoid being a freak show but thats what they sorta did signing cm punk

CM Punk vs a 1-0 or 0-0 guy is not a freak show, it's a famous guy getting into UFC. CM Punk vs Green Ranger is a freak show :lawl:

IMO signing CM Punk already lost the UFC some credibility. At least Brock was an elite level wrestler with the pedigree to back it up, but CM Punk hasn't achieved much of anything. UFC is going rapidly going downhill, the set of champions right now has to be the least marketable group in recent times. At this point, I only tune in to watch McGregor

I've seen people say this in mma forums, but I don't get it.. What is "credibility" in terms of an MMA promotion, and why should it matter?

To me, it's a personal opinion. For you personally, it loses them credibility. What's the end result of that? You don't buy that show?

Because I think people who agree with you are such a small (but vocal) minority that it's pretty much irrelevant. MMA doesn't owe anyone anything in terms of "credibility" (however you define it).

well... green ranger is 1-0 professionally :concentrate:

If CM has a great fight people will say Dana is a genius and if he sucks people will say told you so. Either way its a win win situation and I betcha a lot of WWE fans will watch just to see what will happen and right there makes it worth while for the UFC.

Honestly it would only be fun watching him fight if he cut some awesome promos building up the fights, but he seems too humble to do that in the ufc after watching some of his interviews.

So Cro Cop fought Satoshi Ishii last night

[VINE]Owpttp0zOtD[/VINE]

And then was confronted by Fujita after



Also Shinya Aoki almost twisted a guy in half

whoa! crocop looking jacked! and i still rmb when eddie alvarez beat aoki till he was crying hahaha

NYE fight events in Japan just aren't the same anymore.

Well...combat sports here in general have basically regressed into nothingness.

That's the thing about Japan. When something is popular, they are so good at producing content. Wrestling, video games, MMA. But their culture is so fad based. Even though they still have quality producers, once the fad dies they just stop being as good.

Can't wait for Cormier and Jones.

The way the story line has been built around these two have been amazing to say the least.

Yup this is the best promoted fight in a long time! Of course everyone here hates that stuff so I'm sure they don't really care about this fight :troll:

the whole main event aside from the Gaudinot fight is very interesting.

Can't wait to see DC beat Jones
