I thanked your post halfway through as I liked the joke. Then I realised this is what they're actually proposing

I'll believe it when I see it . sure wasn't he meant to fight Toney a few years back?

Don't each fighter bring their own referees? Shamrock has a choice between Earl Hebner and Herb Dean

Dtp1979

Francie shamrocks will be his referee

Ken Shamrock-

1994 - King of Pancrase

1998 - King of the Ring

2015 - King of the Travellers?

Mr. CooL ICE

What's the story with TJ Grant? Last I heard was his injury, but his wiki page says he was removed from the UFC roster for being inactive.

Alan Omar is injured. Irish featherweight Paul Redmond will make his UFC debut & face Mirsad Bektic at #UFCStockholm

Great news! Irish fighters having a good couple of weeks. Long may it continue!

Locomotion

Johnny Hendricks Vs Matt Brown slated for UFC 185. Lawler doesn't wanna fight til the summer and Hendricks wanted to keep warm. Gotta admire him taking this fight, although I still hope they give Rory the next title shot.

califano

Great opening for Redser. Anyone know what the day job was that he packed in?.

Da.kid

Looking forward to this weekend. Cant wait for Cowboy and Henderson, really hope Cowboy finally beats Henderson and we some more F*CK YOU kicks..

Mike Tobacco

Carla Esparza v Joanna Jedrzejczyk has been added as the co-main to UFC185 - with Pettis/dos Anjos, Hendricks/Brown and Nelson/Overeem that card is shaping up very nicely.

MrStuffins

Think Jedrzejczyk has actually been slightly underwhelming in the UFC so far. Interesting fight though.

UFC 184 and 185 both looking to be fantastic cards. Lets hope they stay relatively injury free.

Fantastic start to the year, and so many more potentially great cards to be announced.

Cathal Pendred said his legs were measured today for kick reach. Great stat to add.

El Guapo!

They should measure Jon Jones' fingers too. Just to see how far away he can poke you in the eyes.

My mam just invited me to like SevereMMA on FB.
Not sure why I found that funny, but I did.

Hope you nodded approvingly while saying "my mam' in a Conor McGregor voice

Jacare v Romero off, Jacare has pneumonia

ASOT

Kimbo signed with Bellator. Fairly decent draw still I reckon. I really liked him in TUF, seemed like a really nice guy.

Looking forward to seeing how awful BJJ his opponents have.

Listening in now. In fairness the lads on Off The Ball have really brushed up on their MMA knowledge after they had John Kavanagh on.
