horrorfan663 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I kind of think it would make more sense to have the co main event and main event this way and if anyone agrees with me or sees it my way why do you think UFC decided to do it the way they did? I think it would make more sense to have Brandon Vera fighting Ryan Bader and Lyoto Machida vs Shogun 3 main eventing Hear me out: Brandon Vera couple years back fought Kristoph Soszynski who was also a rising star of the same TUF show Bader was on and Vera absolutely destroyed Soszynski i mean just look back on the fight and watch it Vera looked so crisp and on point with his Muy Thai. Vera also defeated Elliot Marshal whom was also on TUF 8 with Bader and Soszynski. I just think that would be interesting to see Vera fight Bader sort of like Vera being deemed the TUF killer if he beat Bader. The Main Event being Shogun and Machida 3 just makes sense to me seeing as Machida and Shogun are 1-1 and a third fight while may not be necessary (i believe shogun won both bouts) I still think that as a main event would be much more promotable then Shogun vs Vera. I dont believe Shogun or Machida are being given easy rides i think bader with beat Machida and Vera will beat Shogun I just think business wise maybe it would make more sense to have the bouts done my way.

NewMMAFansSuck Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I agree except that I believe the UFC is saving Shogun/Machida 3 for a later event after they rack up a few more wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdboltz Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 anyone agree? I agree none of these four deserve a title shot for their next fight, no matter what happens this weekend. Next fight for the "#1 contender," should be against Gustaffson, winner gets a shot. Or have Bones fight HW next fight if he beats Henderson, and get a clearer contender at 205. Maybe Teixiera knocks out Page and he is in the mix. This weekend seems like a desperation move to keep Jones active and making PPV dollars.

horrorfan663 Posted August 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Only problem is Gus' only big win is against a non-roided Thiago Silva and he couldn't even finish him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres my opinion If Shogun/ Machida win give them to Gustaffson. If Teixiera wins give him the winner of above fight. Then Teixiera fights Shogun/Machida/Gustaffson, winner get Bones. If Rampage wins this plan goes to shi*. In the interim if Bones beats Hendo have him move up for a non title HW fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horrorfan663 Posted August 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Only problem is Gus' only big win is against a non-roided Thiago Silva and he couldn't even finish him. Just throwing this out there Shogun has beaten the best in the world Machida has fought the best in the world Vera KO'd Frank Mir, beat the hell out of Randy Couture and showed promise in two weight divisions Bader holds a win over a Noguiera and is a TUF Winner They've proved they deserve to be here fighting for a title shot they've put in the hours and time and fights. Not saying they each haven't had their dark times but they deserve it a whole hell of a lot more than some kid whos beaten a few no names here and there gets choked out by Phil "Cant finish a fight" Davis and then decisions an off the junk ex roid head coming off yea long lay off.

Couture didnt deserve it Lesnar Didnt Deserve Sliva didnt deserve it Overeem doesnt deserve it Glover doesnt deserve it Gus doesnt deserve it I dont care how much promise a guy has or even if he has the skills i could care less about hype this and that. No. You earn a title by putting in the work, the sweat the blood, the tears. You go on a tear like JBJ or JDS or Condit or Velasquez or Benson yea u deserve it but no one deserves to be fed a title they didnt bleed for.

horrorfan663 Posted August 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 These damn kids need to wait their turn. Step aside for the big dogs who've proven their rank and deserve the shot. If they don't win they didnt deserve to be champions and if these kids really have the skill then they should have no problem fighting to earn their place such as JBJ and JDS who didnt walk into the ufc and demand a title shot. They picked apart the division from the ground up and then when it was their turn the took that belt like a fat kid steals an extra slice of cake from the cafeteria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horrorfan663 Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 After the dust has settled I still believe the fights would have been better if they had been set up my way. Vera woulda KOed Bader in less than a round just sayin lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
