MMA Discussion Thread Part XVI

A few other things coming out from the event;

Nick Diaz vs GSP is confirmed. Dana admitted that Hendricks had a reason to feel unhappy, but said that GSP had requested Diaz and he felt that they owed him the favour as he was such a long term champ and a company guy.

Hendricks will face Jake Ellenberger on the same card and will definitely be the no 1 contender if he wins. He also would be in contention for a late call up if Diaz screws up or goes missing etc.

If Bisping beats Belfort in January he will be next in line for a shot at Silva.

I cant get enough of ufc so certaunly do not want a reduction of events.  This weekend was sweet.   Oh and ive a new favorite fighter and hes russian.

Moldiver

Yeah awesome card!

DuggyD

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Amazing weekend for MMA this weekend!! On last nights fights, I think the Russian in the prelims should have been given KOTN. It's not often that happens and he did so bloody well!!

No disrespect to Barry of course because that was one hell of a KO!!

Tom Watson vs Stanislav Nedkov added to the London card.

Excellent. Must win for Watson there, he had a very poor debut against Tavares in Nottingham.

Razor

Some excellent fights this weekend.

Thought he was a bit unlucky to be honest in Notts. he was looking pretty good in the fight
