    Who would you give it to if not Stipe? It's a shallow division, but he's a cl;ear cut top 3 contender


    Agree could only give it to him or overeem,rothwell is matched up with barnett next week.

    Exactly Stipe was promised the winner anyway.

    Cain hasn't won in the Octagon for over 2 years, Rothwell has 3 since including KO of Reem stylistically Barnett might be a tricky one so overcome that I'd like to see him getting the shot but we all know that's not the way these things work.

    Uuggghhh

    Anyway, I hope Stipe knocks the troll face off Werdum. Do people think Jones will actually move to HW after a clear out of the LHW? I know he has the skill to take the big boys but would be interesting to see if he'll actually do it.

    Yep, he's said it for years that he would move up and Jones is a completely trustworthy guy so no reason to doubt him :D

    What's wrong with Stipe getting a shot? He's off the back of 2 big performances. The division is looking better than it did a few years ago when it was just JDS and Cain who wasn't even fit enough to defend his title.

    I'll tell you what's not right about Stipe getting the shot!

    The fact that he was promised the next shot and now has to take his shot on 2 weeks notice. It puts him at a disadvantage. He could've gotten his shot after a full camp.

    However, it had to be done this way because he's the the only legit contender.

    Anybody buying the werdum injury excuse not to fight?


    I doubt hes afraid of stipe considering hes beaten the best hw's ever but its very weird.

    Hes just being extra cautious which is understandable. The injury does seem like bull though, considering he said he would fight if it was still Cain. What a mess.

    Don't know if true or not, if confirmed or anything but read DJ Vs Benavidez rubber match is the new headline fight.

    Well that can't be true since it isn't a rubber match. Mighty Mouse is 2-0 against Benavidez.

    ahaha good shout, probably crap. TBH I think its unlikely for any title fight as a replacement on such short notice.

    Ben Rothwell get ready to assume(resume) the position!




    I really hope they don't make this fight! It would be grossly unfair, mainly to Rothwell but also to fans who have bought FN tickets and were looking forward to seeing Barnett & Rothwell. Back to Ben, I don't think he's had a fight since Miocic pulled out of the fight in Dublin but in the time since Miocic got a fight with AA, bumped up to late replacement for a title fight and now might get Rothwell's opponent for an interim title :eek:
