Cherry 1,302 Posted June 5, 2016 UFC 100: Mir vs. Lesnar UFC 200: Mir vs. Lesnar Carwin could work but he's such a low-ranking guy it wouldn't be as big of a fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bangy 19 Posted June 6, 2016 If Carwin was in the shape and position he was when Brock first came into the UFC then it would have been a huge fight but once he was found out he dropped like a sack of shit. The other guy I would feel that would make a good fight with Lesnar is Josh Barnett who's also come out on twitter saying he will take the fight. Overall it's the flagship of the UFC you gotta have that rubber match. Take a leaf out of the Bellator play book on the "circus" fights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cherry 1,302 Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Barnett already signed on to fight Arlovski in Hamburg in September IIRC. Speaking of which the rest of this year will be fun as fuck for the heavyweights. Stipe vs. Overeem at 203 in Cleveland is going to be hype. Velasquez vs. Browne at 200. Werdum signed on to face Rothwell at 203. JDS waiting for a big fight after thrashing Rothwell. Arlovski vs. Barnett in Hamburg. Mark Hunt climbing up boards again. Nelson vs. Lewis on Fight Pass Lesnar returns. Struve getting a top 10 opponent after killing Bigfoot.

Cherry 1,302 Posted June 7, 2016 #3 Rose Namajunas vs. #6 Karolina Kowalkiewicz scheduled for UFC 201 at women's strawweight. Absolutely love the matchup. Namajunas is a much better pure athlete than Kowalkiewicz, but doesn't have the technical edge when it comes to striking. I think the UFC is really pushing for a polish title bout at strawweight, but I think a lot of people are taking Gadelha to beat Joanna. I'm actually a huge fan of the strawweight division. A lot of potential big name fighters waiting in the wings. Joanna. Aisling Daly. Carla Esparza. Rose Namajunas. Paige VanZant. Plus they are still pulling talent from Invicta.

I actually feel that they have been pushing Namajunas since she beat Van Zant. I am sure that Rose was ranked around 7-8 before the VanZant fight and they have given her tough fights since then. If Namajunas wins then she next challenger. Gadelha vs Joanna will be a grea fight also, but I feel if Joanna can find the rhythm that she had when she won the title and her first defence then she will be fine. Strawweight in the women's division is actually looking pretty strong right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cherry 1,302 Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Agreed. Rose got a little bit of a push after beating Paige. Tecia Torres wasn't a pushover and Karolina definitely has a shot. I'd take Karolina solely for her striking abilities but if Rose takes her down its a whole new game. IMO Rose should be sitting in wait for a title shot regardless after Torres, but I have zero problems with this being an eliminator. My question now is what to do with Carla? If Joanna wins I'd pit her against Claudia in a co-main of an FS1 card. If Claudia wins I'd have to drop her down to take on winner of Letourneau vs. Calderwood or maybe take on Andrade.

Cherry 1,302 Posted June 9, 2016 UFC has announced an event in Salt Lake City for first time ever. August 6th. Targeting Yair Rodriguez vs. Alex Caceres. If that's the headliner I'm incredibly disappointed. Should have JDS find an opponent as headliner and Horiguchi vs. Formiga to help hold up the card.

Cherry 1,302 Posted June 10, 2016 JDS is currently recovering from a shoulder injury which required an op, hence why he has no known opponent Thought he was supposed to be healed up in a week or two. Heard it was a very minor injury. If he's out a little bit I'd like to see him match up with Struve in a September or October card. If not Struve maybe Werdum or winner of Cain v Browne. I think JDS is in the running for a title shot if he bulls through his next opponent like he did Rothwell. You boys watch TUF? On occasion. Usually forget to.

Cherry 1,302 Posted June 10, 2016 Welp. Rodriguez vs. Caceres confirmed gonna headline SLC card. Gross. Lawler said he'd have taken Conor's soul if they had fought. Also, Bisping supposedly offered to face Weidman as first defense. Not a fan at all. I'd rather see Jacare get the shot after dismantling Vitor. Chris coming off a loss vs Jacare on arguably a huge win streak (if you exclude the shit to Romero that was a questionable decision + PED concerns). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris coming off a loss vs Jacare on arguably a huge win streak (if you exclude the shit to Romero that was a questionable decision + PED concerns). I must be one of the few people I know who rates Caceres, dude is an exciting fighter with a lot of promise and he is on a couple of win streak so it is deserved with every other big fight going on right now. Lawler vs McGregor would have been awesome but I am still in the concensus that Conduit was robbed in their fight and that rematch needs to happen. I personally understand the Bisping vs Weidman first defence if Chris is healthy seeing as he was meant to face Rockhold not Bisping. I feel Jacare is more deserving but Weidman was champ for a while and deserves first shot. Romero will be interesting when he comes back because I belive he didn't know about what he took but the real fight for me would be Bisping vs Hendo 2, that is a real grudge match and I could see Bisping wanting revenge.
