For anyone who may not have seen this:

You have to take everything that Dana says with a pinch of salt (as with anyone in the public eye) but I like the guy

While I hate the way he talks crap about Fedor, I've always had a lot of time for Dana White. The comment about Tito was funny!

Why are they putting Andrei on the undercard then if it's not because he might leave?

i agree with the quote below....as if Andrei was on a PPV more orgs would want him especially if he put in a huge performance therefore it was smart to keep him on an undercard to keep his contractual value down, well thats my opinion, but my opinions often get slated on here

:D

The only reason Arlovski was on the undercard was because it was his last fight on his current contract. So the UFC didnt want to give him PPV exposure to up his value to their competitors. Furthermore they didnt even give him a post fight interview slot.

That's exactly what I thought before, but in the link above Dana says that's not the reason. I'm sure it still is, but I'm just wondering what other possible explanation there is

It's because out of his last fights he has turned in some real boring ones and thats about it.

Also, Chuck recently said he would be happy to move up and fight Nog.

Interesting.

Chuck wont be going anywhere this year. He'll be looking to take the belt back and then avenge his loss to Jardine ! As he's stated numerous times.

He has also expressed an interest in fighting Fedor.

M1 hasnt done anything with Fedor so it looks like he could be leaving and has said that he'd talk with the UFC ! Let's hope Dana gets it right this time.

rock and a hard place. dana now has to re-entyce fedor back after pissing him and his team off before and even if he manages to do that he has randy publicly stating that he's no longer ufc champio and signing a contract with HDNet fights <with no fixed start date.> Im not sure it's possible for zuffa to pull it off anymore and given their track record of dropping the business ball when it counts... no chance

I'm not so sure. I can't see Jardine and Chuck fighting again too soon. Chuck has to fight Evans and i can see him winning.

Jardine will fight Wandy and i can see him taking that one home to be honest. Scary , i know.

After that Chuck is left sitting around scratching himself until Page and Griffin is done and the following 3 months for injuries to heal up, fight prep etc before either of them can defend.

I can see the fight with Nog happening, especially in the murky waters of current no.1 contendership at heavyweight.

I'd love to see it myself.

lol Shame your Jardine prediction didnt surface.

Well as i predicted back then, Liddell is going no where. Hes fighting evans in August. Wandy is back in the mix while we have to wait on griffin and Page.

UFC's Heavyweight division is in tatters. They have about 3 of the top 10 fighters in the world. The fighters in the top 10 they do have are Nog, Werdum and maybe Gonzaga. However the likes of Fedor, Couture, Arlovski, Barnett, Cro Cop and even Sylvia are long gone. Sort it out UFC

LoL, tell me about it! I thought the combo of what Jardine is good at and Greg Jackson in the corner would do wonders. Wandy swamped him and put him away...it was awesome to see!

Internets. Serious business.

And don't forget that correctly prediciting a fight is something to brag about, whilst incorrectly doing so is a reason to be run out of town!

Personally i still Jardine is a prospect. He just needs to not let people inside or use the rape choke on him.

Yea i know man, e-personalities are all the rage ya know!

Absolutely, I suppose if u ALWAYS pick the underdogs then u get the occasional "I was SO right, Im a genius" moment!

Hmmm, I think he;s too hot and cold for his own good is Mr Dean Sardine. I mean in his last 4 fights now he's been brutralised in devastating fashion twice and beaten championship contenders twice.....

I think he struggles when people are in his face agressive. Forrest stood off him and then got into a sloppy brawl with him but unlike Houston Alexander and Wandy he doesnt have the power to make him pay. Chuck raped him in the first round moving forward and then just backed away (cos of his leg/ribs getting butchered Id imagine) for 2 rounds to throw the fight away.

For me, he needs a RUN of wins, to prove that he's not just a guy who occasionally turns up.
