Really, not a single heavyweight was available? They bring in a fat middleweight instead?

Joking, right?

Nope.

[Beelzebubzy]

Dont know why the UFC will not call me for one of these fill ins.

I am the MBA version of Just Bleed and I have cardio for weeekz

[goodfellas433]

Are any of you guys knowledgeable as to whether Dana white has the authority to prohibit cyborg from cornering bethe correira? I am by no means a huge wmma fan, but I would find watching cyborg and rousey mean mugging each other from across the cage to actually be quite enjoyable....

[Vaughany]

he can do what he wants!

[goodfellas433]

I hope he wants the hype and let's her do it....weigh ins too. I actually think its a brilliant maneuver by correira, though I would predict her to lose this fight

Esther Lin, MMA Fighting

Alistair Overeem has joined the Jackson-Winkeljohn camp in New Mexico, and looks like he won’t be missed at Blackzilians.
Gilbert "Durinho" Burns, one of the young prospects at the Blackzilians team who joined the camp with his longtime friend Vitor Belfort, claims that Overeem left the team after he injured fellow UFC heavyweight Guto Inocente during a sparring session.
"There’s a story that fighters kept in the gym," Burns said on Sexto Round podcast. "Guto was recovering from a knee injury, returning to training, and, even with a broken hand, he was beating Overeem up in a striking sparring.
"Overeem got mad because he was getting beat up by a guy with one hand, so he took Guto down and blew out his other knee. That’s why Guto hasn’t fought in a while. We were all upset about it, and that was when (Overeem) left the team. After he left, the team got better and we had better results. Thank God he left the team."
Inocente confirmed the incident to MMAFighting.com:
"It was a kickboxing sparring," Inocente said. "I was kicking his a-- and he took me down. Unexpected.'
"Durinho" says Overeem is "cocky" and used to get beat up by other members of the team, including UFC fighters Anthony Johnson, Rashad Evans and Vitor Belfort.
"He’s an arrogant man," Burns said. "He’s exactly how he looks to be. One thing is getting in the gym and talking to me or a younger guy, but another thing is go there and not talk to Rashad, Vitor, Tyrone Spong, coach Henri (Rooft).
"He’s cocky, and the team got better when he left. He’s really tough, but he’s not that monster that he appears to be. I saw him get beat up bad in training by Anthony Johnson, Rashad, Vitor and Tyrone."
Training with top fighters in Florida, Burns has amassed a perfect 6-0 MMA record with six finishes. The jiu-jitsu world champion hopes to eventually join his teammates in the UFC, but he wants to be ready for it.
While he waits for a call from the UFC, "Durinho" will decide if he will move up to welterweight or continue at 155 and make his Legacy FC debut on July 18.
"I’m not in a hurry to be in the UFC, I’m not focused on that right now," he said. "I’m focused on learning and evolving. I want to enter the UFC like Glover (Teixeira) did. I want to get there and beat everybody up so people will say ‘Durinho' got here to fight for the title.’
"I also don’t want to get there because of Vitor (Belfort). I want to earn it, I want to deserve it. I want to knock people out, submit them, and one day I will be in the UFC. It’s the natural way."
Update: Overeem provided this response to MMAFighting.com.
"Seems to me, without throwing any jabs, that leaving Boca was an excellent choice," he said. "I wish all my former teammates the best."

Tim Kennedy on Rogan Podcast... let's see if he can be an even bigger douche than Schaub who was on last week...

[Vaughany]

Never realised Jackson was on Ari Shaffir's podcast last year...

[Vaughany]

yes, it all seems very admirable, then you hear stories like what happened with Bisping's brother and think "hmmm maybe not for me"!

[marzwoody]

Holy shit! never even heard about that before. the army is basically prison with trained killers,

[Vaughany]

its inevitable that you are going to get a lot of nutters at the lower-end of the army as it's one of the go-to jobs in England if you leave school early and dont know what to do with yourself and come from a poor background. The only people that I've ever known that have gone in to the army have been scally-wags who I knew from school and were the sort you would sort of be mates with but when I'd go on a night out with them I'd try to lose them otherwise you'd always end up getting in a scrap in a nightclub! Then you have the Sandringham/Eton rah type kids who want to become Sargent Major types - the Bear Grylls - who are on the other end of the social/cultural/class spectrum (I did meet a few of these at Uni actually and they were type that you'd never imagine being "soldiers" because they were just so pompous and naive!) I'm sure its same in America. But clearly it isnt as simple as just joining the troops and becoming a big happy family where everybody respects eachother and has eachother's back

[marzwoody]

Yea and all the horseshit that goes with it aswell, bet there all thinking can we just go out and shoot stuff? do i have to march around like a retarded robot and juggle a shitty rifle no one uses on the battlefield anymore on my shoulder?

[NunyaBidness]

Watching this kinda made me want to join the military.. there sense of pride, courage, belonging to something, and that warrior spirit is something to be desired and admired...

Thought that shit only worked on poor minorities in the US.

Lol

Is it racist to say that if we had never gone over and liberated them, people from Sunderland would still be swinging out of trees and eating each other?

It wouldnt be racist to say tht because they pretty much still are.

You could say the same about the blac-

You're right, too unrealistic. SBR would never take action against someone for being racist.

Correct sir. Where did Marz say he was originally from?

i wouldn't put it past White to let that happen and whisper in Cyborg ear to taunt Rousey a tad and all kinds of shit beaks out with that loose cannon. Then we find out Cyborg signed with the UFC the day before. If he was smart this might make Mayweather numbers

[Vaughany]

lol coked up Chuck with 16 yr old McGregor!
