Just listening to the 5 Live bit now.

Good old GAD, bumbling as ever.  He must have been so geared up to use the term mixed martial arts rather than cage fighting, so he told us how the UFC was started to bring different mixed martial artists together to see which mixed martial art was better.

Bisping just told a porkie too, said that there has never been a death in the sport.  Never in the UFC maybe, but there have been a few in the sport.

Looking forward to the big Boris debut...

DrPhil

Agreed, love it.  Haven't got to the reveal yet though.

Had me in stitches as well!

You know that GAD is bound to host some form of localised MMA show in the new TV deal lol if it ever materialses.   The UK ufc guy was saying whoever gets the ufc needs to give it more focus etc.   He was on the mma hour a while ago.

World Series of Fighting event is live tonight here.

Arlovski vs Johnson main event.

DrPhil

UFC 158 pre and post fight media scrums.  Always good for some interesting news snippets.

Warning, bad language!

Bah!  Dan Hardy's out injured for his Matt Brown fight.

DrPhil

Mein is in against Brown though, should be a good fight. Mein is a beast.

Intrigued to see how Mousasi gets on in his UFC debut.
Gustafsson must be pretty close to getting a shot at the title but I think a big win for Mousasi could see him getting a shot next.
Any thoughts?

repoman

They've been teasing Gustafsson as a potential challenger for Jones for ages.  They need him to dominate this fight to sell a title challenge.  Put him in too soon and it's just another guy who has no chance.
