Siver must feel like an awful plonker. Just tuned in a minute ago, was he even asked anything?

Was the 'Big' announcement made yet?

He was revolved around Conor of course spoke in German so clueless to his response, all fighters spoke bar Dolloway & Machida I think.

look at ASOT post a few posts back announcement was whole rundown of next years Schedule 13 ppvs running to UFC 194 December 5th next year along with a whole heap of events fight nights and such 40+ events altogether including 7 in Brazil,heading straight back to Mexico & IRELAND!!,at least 2 events in Oz region, other places include Scotland and Poland aswell

Doubt it tbh.
It'd be really silly to announcing with a fight scheduled for jan.

My guess is the big announcement was gonna be Croker but they couldn't get in done in time.

What fight is scheduled for June?

Zero-Cool

I thought the announcement would be the new uniforms.

ASOT

By the sounds of things Brock will be back to, cant wait. Heyman says hes 100% for the first time in his life it could be interesting. He still doesnt like getting hit in the face though so im not sure how his second run will go. Bit of an anticlimax for the whole thing. Love Vitors mohawk though.

Mean Laqueefa

why would they announce croker ? Conor has a fight in Jan, mis-match or not anything can happen if he lost his stock while still high would make selling a stadium difficult, there not gonna announce something like that at the risk of injuries imo

Hold yer horses man there is no fights announced for March yet let alone June, dates are known including dates that PPV's fall on thats it. Time will give us what venues/cities they will visit and how cards come together will obviously be determined on how upcoming bouts play out

I really doubt it was that given McGregor v Siver and Cub v Edgar still have to happen. A announcing a stadium without a title shot would be ridiculousl

With speculation that there could be a fight in Croke Park..... um.. how do you get around the outdoor stadium in Ireland thing? It would never work unless they covered it over for the event, what with our weather being rather terrible all year round.

They'd have to tarp over it if it were to happen. At leat over the central area.

If it was to happen, I think Aviva is more likely than Croker.
More realistic capacity, easier to make shift a proper roof, and Croke park neighbours would no nuts, again.

189 will be the fight week PPV in Las Vegas this was already confirmed weeks ago, if Dublin has a chance for a numbered card it would be 190 on August 1st

I'd post the link but I can't as a new user, however the detail is not hard to find.

Yeah of course. Start of July.
The June PPV us a possibility also.

Tbf, if the belt wasn't contested in dublin. Fight week would be a big card.

Loved the 'last word' back and forth between Jones and Cormier

See Carl Frampton's fight mid September. Temporary outdoor stadium built for the fight. I wasn't there(no mula for ticket) but heard it was a massive success from people there and had great reports on tv.

Theres a lot less logistical planning for an already build venue.

IMO talk of a title fight/ppv here next summer are way premature, I don't think Aldo would do it either.

Give him enough cash and Aldo will do it.

I know there like two months away from the fight and it could be the lighting and such but does anderson looks a bit on the heavy side, anyone else??

He looks a good 20lbs heavier than Diaz. Looks like he's walking around at well over 200lbs there. I think Diaz is going to get a bad bad beating in this fight, if he's no KO'd early. Anderson may not be as good as he used to be, but he's still far too fast for Diaz on the feet. And with Silva's size and weight advantage, Diaz won't be able to control him.

Have you listened to chaels podcast this week were he has Nate on? He said Nick is fairly happy about fighting Anderson even though hes bigger than him, Said hes used to it from fights beforehand. But from that vine Anderson looks WAY bigger than him. I dont know why but something in my gut is telling me Diaz will win this, obviously it comes down to how well Anderson comes back from the leg break, he will never throw kicks properly again with that leg, even if he says hes over it the mind will be weird on him when throwing a kick.

I dunno man, I don't think Anderson even needs kicks to win this fight. If they were the same size, I'd be going for an AS win here. The size advantage just compounds it for me.

How do you see Diaz winning this? Grinding it out over 5 rounds? Maybe he has a chance if he makes it past the second round. Fair play to him if he does.

Im not even going to bull**** about why i think hes going to win but its just have a feeling thats about it, no logical answer for a change haha :pac: Granite jaw will help him immensely but like you said the size advantage should help Silva but i duno i just think Diaz can pull off some sort of wonder sub or ko. Im absolutely dying for it anyway. There are some excellent fights coming up over the next few months!!

ASOT

This just announced for 183, cards shaping up nicely! MASSIVE step up for Kelvin, I really like both fighters so its a win win for me!

Mellor

Nick is an average WW, Silva's a big MW. He looks no heavier than I'd expect.

Doctors said that Silvas leg would heal as strong as before. And by the fight he'll have thrown a 1000 kicks.

Aldo bare in mind that Nick's also had a layoff almost twice as long as Silva.
Silva will destroy him.
