    Was watching it there but didn't hear anything special as such.... Was it at the beginning?

    Haven't seen it mentioned, but it was Chucks Official retirement, and promotion to UFC executives, he's now on par with the 7 or so guys at the top, (bar pro Dana and ferditta bros, one of who made a rare appearance at the presser)

    Dana is announcing the TUF coaches later on the conference call. Mike Fagan is posting updates on his twitter account, summarising the call as it happens.

    Very interesting!

    KenFlo has confirmed he's stepping down to 145 on his Twitter
    I'll indeed be fighting at 145lbs. It is a great new challenge. Goal is to get belt at FW & I'll be back at 155. TY all for the support.

    Without trying to look past Aldo v Hominick, how sick would an Aldo v Ken Flo fight be?


  • Registered Users Posts: 38,921 ✭✭✭✭Mellor


    Sick sick sick

    This is exactly one of the reasons why I was a fan of the merger, we'll have the likes likes of Clay Guida making the jump too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,145 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    And Tyson Griffin is already headed down to 145! Some super match ups coming up!

    Carlos Conduit out of UFC 127 fight v Chris Lytle

    Shame, I was looking forward to this fight and the winner could well have been next in line for a title shot, perhaps v Fitch or Penn for a vacant title should GSP beat Shields.

    Anyone else think Sherk should drop down to featherweight?


  • Registered Users Posts: 723 ✭✭✭ScareGilly


    Anyone else think Sherk should drop down to featherweight?
    Sherk can make Featherweight? :eek:

    I suppose it's the easiest division to drop to, only 10 pounds rather than 15.. He wouldn't have the same explosiveness and speed he has at FW than LW imo.

    I reckon he could make 145, how he'd perform after that cut is another thing though, Jim Miller is someone else who could make 145. He fought there before afaik and he's on a tear at 155.


  • Registered Users Posts: 38,921 ✭✭✭✭Mellor


    It's only 10 lbs, but these guys are smaller to begin with, so i'd say its pretty hard. I don't think he'd cut to it, it would have to be a permanant move (ie lose mass not water)

    Thiago Silva is out of 130, Matt Hamill gonna face Dampage

    With Thiago Silva's status in doubt, the UFC isn't taking any chances.

    MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has confirmed with sources close to the UFC that the promotion has pulled the Brazilian from a planned UFC 130 matchup with Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (31-8 MMA, 6-2 UFC), and Matt Hamill (10-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) has stepped in to fill the void.

    Verbal agreements for the contest are in place, and bout agreements are expected to be finalized shortly.

    Hamill had been expected to face Phil Davis at April's UFC 129 event. It's currently unknown if Davis will receive a new opponent for the card or be shifted to a later date.

    Featuring a lightweight title rematch between champ Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard, UFC 130 takes place May 30 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

    Silva's status became an issue earlier this week when the Nevada State Athletic Commission revealed the fighter's UFC 125 drug screen was still under investigation. While the NSAC has yet to file a formal complaint against Silva, the promotion has chosen to air on the side of caution.

    Hamill enters the matchup on a five-fight win streak, albeit a bit of a dubious run with the inclusion of a disqualification victory over Jon Jones in December 2009. Nevertheless, "The Hammer" also counts wins over Tito Ortiz, Keith Jardine, Mark Munoz and Reese Andy during the run.

    Meanwhile, Jackson is 3-1 in his past four bouts with wins over Lyoto Machida, Jardine and Wanderlei Silva and a lone decision loss to Rashad Evans.

    So it's got to do with the drug test? Wow! If this turns out to be an F up on the part of the commission, Silva needs some proper reparations for this bull!

    A Commission fcukin up, never heard of that before :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    yeah, apparently he's failed one but i'm not gonna comment on rumours, will wait till it's confirmed

    Well i only mentioned the commision f*cking up because this is the first time i've heard them announce that a sample is still being "processed".

    Normally if the A sample has failed, they will announce it and then announce that the B sample is being tested (i remember this spacifically from the Sean Sherk case).

    But if he has failed I will be seriously disappointed :(

    Damn. That's a shame. But they're gonna be clearing out as many 155ers as possible over the next while. This is the main reason Tyson Griffin is heading to 145 i reckon. He's on thin ice as it is

    UFC - Brit lightweight Paul Kelly cut from UFC ....Why ? 60 on the roster, only space for 28. Shame after Cowboy Cerrone fight.
