  • OT: Lyoto Machida just got fucking destroyed
Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

So will Dana make Silva fight Shogun?

Jon Jones schooled Hamill, and i like Hamill, but he had nothing for Jones.

Kimbo should be done now.
It's reported on Yahoo! front page today that Kimbo has already been released by the UFC per Dana White.

Loved his enthusiasm towards the sport, and loved that he tried to go out and prove people wrong. He just got into the MMA scene too late in his career, and doesn't have the talent to hang with the big guys.

Could easily see him being signed by Strikeforce or DREAM. That will probably happen in the very near future.



As for the Shogun Rua vs Anderson Silva: There's no reason why this fight SHOULDN'T happen. Anderson's excuse for not pursuing the Light Heavyweight title was because Silva and Machida were too good of friends and have trained together. Now that Machida is out of the picture (not entirely of course)... there's no reason why Anderson wouldn't push himself to the 205 class and try to gather yet another title belt to his possession. Hes got the skill to do it.

Rua vs Silva would be a badass fight in my opinion. True Brazilians going at it in a sport they helped create. It would draw a huge crowd, and pay-per-views would be off the charts. It will happen... Dana White will basically force Anderson to fight this one. And I'm sure he'll accept the challenge. The past 2 Silva fights were a JOKE for him. Literally just danced around and played with his opponent. With Rua, that won't be the case.

WAR SILVA!!!
Yeah, thats why i posted that. I knew about the whole Silva/Machida thing.
I think Dana has to make that happen.
Only time will tell.

Kimbo never belonged, good for him for wanting to learn, but all he had was stand up and it wasn't that great. The people he faced in those web videos that made him famous, couldn't have been that great, now him in the ring with trained fighters, he just couldn't compete. The more i think about it, he probably couldn't have beaten anyone on the TUF show.

I am ready to see some more Jon Jones.

It it is going to happen, it won't be for awhile.

Dana has already said that the winner of the Rampage - Rashad fight coming up at the end of the month will probably get the next crack at the belt.

And anderson is already set to fight Chael Sonnen for the middleweight belt in like October.

Now the Rampage/Rashad winner hasn't been guaranteed a title shot, and i don't know if a contract has been signed in the Anderson/Sonnen fight, so it could happen sooner rather than later, but i doubt it.

I think it will be late winter or early spring before we see that happen.
