fivetonninja Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 im tryna find out which LHW were given a chance at bones.. was it like a free invite or was it offered to top 5. It seems awkward that a couple MW were actually seriously gonna fill in, couple featherweights(although they were joking) offered to fight while none of the LHW were vocal about stepping up. it was like when faber asked his team to step up and everyone looked confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbrahams Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Machida and Shogun ducked, makes me think Gustaffson might have been offered since he was fighting Shogun but not sure yet, rampage would never be given the opportunity, and not sure about Rashad, he didn't show anything against Jones really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivetonninja Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 im thinkings its like whole light heavy weight div DUCKED HARD. it would have been embarrassing if LHW's from strikeforce were like id do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daweedy Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Machida and Shogun ducked' date=' makes me think Gustaffson might have been offered since he was fighting Shogun but not sure yet, rampage would never be given the opportunity, and not sure about Rashad, he didn't show anything against Jones really[/quote'] How could Shogun ducked, he is having 45 days medical suspension? I am pretty sure Nevada Athlethic commision would never allow him to fight when he is under suspension. Dont unerstand Fertitas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pengu Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Well I think in Machida's case he wanted a full camp to get ready and prepared as this could be his last shot at the title as long as Jones is champion. As for Shogun-the dude also needs more time to get ready because he didn't look too good against Vera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLovin152 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 it would have been embarrassing if LHW's from strikeforce were like id do it. I think that would have actually been a great draw for fans. You would get both strikeforce and UFC fans buying. Wish it wasn't cancelled but come on, Sonnen is just trying to get his name swirling around again like he always does. That's all it is for him. He had no right to fight for the belt. Even the greatest P4P fighter in the UFC had to start out at the bottom when he went up to 205. Why should Sonnen bypass all of that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
