Major Spoiler Shogun/Machida

[AE14]

I think they will slowly build Machida back up as he is quite marketable. Maybe against Forrest when he returns. However, SHogun has a litany of challengers for him

Rashad/Rampage winner (Rashad is a bad matchup for him IMO)
Couture
Anderson
Jon Jones (eventually)

Agreed.

LHW is a relatively competitive division (unlike the talent discrepancies of WW and MW and the freakness discrepancy of HW).

Certainly. I think realistically, Machida is still the number one contender as far as talent is concerned.

As far as having his first loss, he'll either get a severe mind-fack, or wost case scenario, it's his GSP/Serra loss and he comes back with the ability to levitate due to ungodly improvements.

I don't like Rashad or Rampage vs Shogun really. Rampage's kryptonite are leg kicks (which happen to be Shogun's strong suit) and Rashad's chin isn't exactly Big Nog status in PRIDE.

I doubt Anderson will fight Shogun, only because I don't think Anderson would want to stand at the pillar of Machida's division. I think Anderson just wants to fight big fights, but could careless about another division's belt, particularly Machida's LHW division. Nonetheless, in my opinion, Anderson wins, unless Shogun becomes a master TD expert. I don't think anyone in the UFC is beating Anderson on his feet. You'd need someone the size of Chael Sonnen, but with the TD speed & timing of GSP.

Jon Jones has potential, but we'll see how he continues to progress against tougher competition.

170 is boringggggggg

185 is a mess

205 is my favorite by far.

heavy is pretty solid. Its greating seeing cain and carwin hold it down. I hope Nog gets another win soon. maybe mir nog rematch? Anyway it will be fun to see lesner back. cant wait to see dos santos as well maybe vs that freak who got the 6 second ko or whatever after he wins another fight.

155 is the only division thats just decent. Not to bad of problems but too small of guys for my likings. i love the old wars with stout and fisher as well as garcia and hureta.



Page vs Evans will be great, can't wait too see the next title fight.



Any words on when they are making some 5 round non title fights?????

Ya Todd Duffee fights on the next card I think. The jacked looking beast heavyweight who KOed a guy in 7 seconds lol.

Todd Duffee looks like one of our old AM members, Thomas aka Vikinginc aka Norwegian.

Ya when I saw him I was like "oh geez another big buff dude who is about to get his ass beat by a real fighter" because lets face it usually they look too good to be true.

dude i thought that too. Was that troll loving thiago alvez or something over GSP for UFC 100? then after the fight he finally shut up and stopped posting/? if it is i looked at that guys history and he did hella roids.

I know who you're talking about, his Avi was a back pose, right. He matches the description as well, but that wasn't Thomas. I don't think Thomas knew we had an MMA section, but I know who you're talking about. He popped up out of nowhere, started bashing and talking **** to everyone, then disappeared.

[bigwhiteguy29]

he got banned i think? yeah he sucked man. I owned him.

Are you guys familiar with the 5 time World's Stongest Man Mariusz Pudzianowski making his debut in MMA? If you have been watching WSM these last years then you will know how this man dominates the WSM seperating himself from all the competition. Check out the link to his fight. It only last for 44 sec.!! His next fight will be with former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia!

WAR EFFING SHOGUN!!!! 1st round KO, dispute that one!

:'(

[Rodja]

The logical next fight for Shogun is Rampage/Rashad, but I'm praying for a Rog Nog/Shogun II.

I'm excited for Rampage/Rashad let alone Shogun/Rashad(and maybe Rampage :P)

[Rodja]

I'm not excited about Shogun/Rampage II as the first one was so lop-sided. Granted, it was 5 years ago, but I feel that Rampage has become too obsessed with a 1-punch KO.

[VolcomX311]

The logical next fight for Shogun is Rampage/Rashad, but I'm praying for a Rog Nog/Shogun II.

That may already be the unofficial schedule. I believe winner of Rampage/Rashad is set for Shogun and Lil Nog gets a shot after that.

Lil Nog/Shogun is the most interesting match up.
