    Why the hell does he need to read out the fights from a sheet of paper shouldn't Dana know them already?
    Also wondering is he expecting that when all those old people die that NCIS will get canceled?
    At least he didn't call someone a f*ggot again.

    Hey lads what's this "The Reem – Ep 11 Good, Bad and The Ugly" show? Is it any good?
    "Alistair goes to Vegas for the UFC 146 press conference and has a media tour with champion JDS.
    After he arrives at his new place in Miami where everything is going fine, then all of a sudden some bad news comes in."

    Basically it's a lead up to the 146 event, the media functions JDS and Reem did together and then the news of the elevated TE:E ratio and finally the appeal hearing.

    Well worth the 30 minutes in my opinion.

    The UFC have really over exposed themselves I think with cards seemingly every other week these days. That said, I'm really looking forward to Saturday's event.

    There is an MMA thread /backseat mod.

    But yeah there used to be a time I could tell you when the next few cards were and largely every main card fight pretty much but now no way. Caring about the fights and fighters wise it is even worse with so many injuries and suspensions not to mention a lack of stars.

    People genuinely talk to me about the Randys and Chucks like they would Austin and Rock.

    Yeah Mur vs Cigano should be good alrite but even the most bias fan would notice that they are spreading themselves out far too much. I highly doubt that FOX were too impressed that they went from Velasquez vs Dos Santos to Nate Diaz vs Jim Miller. Tna has improved lately but they still can't help themselves when it comes to decision making eg Brooke Hogan, Garret Bìtchoff & Alex Shelley being entitled his release.

    So was Lesnar going to jump from WWE to UFC?

    Meltzer marled out enough to start his own thread on the Observer board. Even the Undertaker had to go through hoops to get permission to go to a UFC. Lesnar NEVER leaves his house for no reason.

    Think Lesnar is just keeping his name out there. He won't walk out on WWE but I doubt he will want to sign on for another year. Doubt he would be bothered to ask Vince for permission to go.

    Could be something as simple as Brock going into the UFC Hall of Fame.

    Could be a kayfabe angle/Heyman worked shoot to sell his storyline firing by showing Brock negotiating with UFC.

    Dana may want to trump the TNA-Bellator King Mo dual sports star gimmick.

    Could also be Brock planning his trip to Mullingar with Dana next week to cheer on Joe and the lads against Westmeath.

    Read somewhere that Heyman was with him so I wouldn't be suprised if this is brought up on tv. Lesnar going into the HOF will piss off a few of the hardcore mma fans.
    Would Dana really want to trump tna/bellator? Is he that vain.

    There is on dude on twitter (yeah I know) he isnt a journalist or even a blogger he is just a well connected fan called @FrontRowBrian. For example he is BFFs with Chael Sonnen. He is a great source of information however some times it is severely out of date or say the preliminary/alternative plan for fighters next fight rather than the actual plan. His standards and ethics aren't journalistic level in short. Gossip yeah but always with some level of truth.

    Anyway he tweeted this last night:
    New info surfacing... Brock Lesnar's deal with WWE is NOT exclusive and he was in Las Vegas at UFC for a specific reason. Wow.

    I was a Brock Lesnar fan. Genuinely disappointed that his illness messed his career up so much. And I think he was one of the athletic HW champ at 265ish.
    But he is nowhere near the UFC Hall of Fame.

    I actually think that Silva will destroy Chael. First round KO is my prediction.

    Silva is like Spain, when people start doubting, the tempo is cranked up and nobody can deal with it.

    For casual fans, yes. Looking for a Sonnen win. It will be interesting to see how Silvas ribs are this time :P and if they did in fact hinder his sprawling in the first fight.

    Its Titos last fight in case you didnt know, might make it more interesting for you. Could turn into a right slug fest.

    Looking forward to watching this with a few cold beers and just enjoying this whole card, its a beast of a card.

    I know it is but their last fight just sucked (made worse when they moaned about injuries afterwards) and I sure as hell wasn't asking for a rubber match. Tito has been on the slide for a good few years and Forrest strikes me as a guy who is just in it for the paychecks these days and couldn't really care.

    I thought there would be more support here for Sonnen, considering the CM punk connection between the two, and the fact that Silva is a legit bit of a cúnt outside of the media spotlight (well known for often being ignorant and rude to fans and other fighters) where as chael is very nice to fans and respectful to other fighters if they are to him and just puts on that arrogant character for TV and to build up PPV fights, unlike Silva.

    Anderson is not as nice and innocent as some of his interviews would have you believe. Some might say he is liar... hmmmm :)

    Batista to make MMA debut in October
    After nearly three years in the making, former WWE wrestling star Dave Batista will finally get in a cage and compete in mixed martial arts this October.

    According to a report from TMZ, Batista will be competing at a show called the CES MMA League on October 6th at the Duncan Donuts Theater in Providence, Rhode Island. His opponent is called Rashid Evans (not Rashad before you get excited).

    It was heavily rumoured in 2010 that Batista was on the verge of signing for the Strikeforce promotion, but that soon came to an end once Zuffa purchased the organization.

    Even though Dave Batista is 43 years old, he will definitely be a huge draw for the smaller promotion. The fight with Evans is apparently going to be shown on live television, although the network has not been announced yet.

    Rashid “Smash” Evans is, like Batista, making his professional debut. He has fought three fights as an amateur – going 1-2.

    More on this when we have it.
