    January News Thread

    Faber vs Dillashaw possible?


    “Probably Renan Barao,” UFC President Dana White said today when asked what’s next for champ Dillashaw. “Renan just fought and won. They would have fought before if he made weight.”
    White was speaking with a small group of reporters following Ultimate Media Day in advance of Saturday’s “UFC 182: Jones vs. Cormier” event, which takes place at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena.
    Dillashaw (11-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC), of course, beat Barao (33-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) this past May to claim the Brazilian’s belt. Barao was granted an immediate rematch at UFC 177, but he failed to make weight and was ruled medically ineligible for the contest. Joe Soto stepped in on one day’s notice but ultimately suffered a fifth-round TKO loss.
    In the meantime, Barao picked up a submission win over Mitch Gagnon at this past month’s UFC Fight Night 58 event. While it didn’t initially seem like it was enough of a high-profile win to earn him a return shot at the belt, unfortunate injuries to both Cruz and Assuncao suddenly left Barao in the driver’s seat.
    Of course, there does remain one outside possibility: Dillashaw could potentially face Team Alpha Male teammate Urijah Faber (32-7 MMA, 8-3 UFC).
    While a rep for the two recently told MMAjunkie the teammates weren’t likely to fight each other anytime soon, White insisted it will always remain a possibility.
    “Defintiely,” White said. “They’re definitely open to it.
    “When you have a team full of guys that are in the same weight, you’re eventually going to have to fight each other, and they’re all cool with that.”

    i doubt this would happen but with the attention whore Faber it is possible. If it was the other way around and Faber was the champion TJ wouldn't fight him. It would be unthinkable according to Faber's logic

    Well, if Im Dillashaw, I would take this fight. This is the biggest profile matchup he could get. This would be a huge payday versus a guy who will be 36 years old.

    Hammil smashed Jones elbow with his face so hard the refs had to step in. Jones wants non of that, and should be happy he has a couple of easier fights in front of him.

    Some of these guys who poke Jones in the fingers with their eye are in agreement with ya.

    My guess would be Cowboy favoured between -150 and -175. Still undervalued, he's going to whoop Bendo. Cowboy has been my golden goose, especially his losses, but this won't be one of them. Now I'm looking very forward to this evening...

    That would surprise me, maybe though, as the bookies will probably expect money to come in on Cowboy. Remember Bendo beat Cowboy x2 though, and was the champ.

    Very true, and his short notice will have an effect on the numbers. But I think that their current situations will rightly get the most focus: Bendo hasn't improved as much as Cerrone- he just got unceremoniously KO'd, and has shown signs of possible decline in his last few fights. Cowboy has clearly improved since they fought, and has lately been gobbling up motherfukkas like a hungry hungry hippo as fast as they can feed him.

    Had to clarify, but I got stuck watching the bloody hobbit. Three hours I'll never get back.
