Must be one of the last TUF's with the TNCS being the new format for ID'ing talent. I thought the UFC were selling the TUF house?

Yeah I thought this one was the last one.. maybe it'll be a themed one filmed outside of the U.S.?

 

[JG22]

Still a realistic possibility that fight is held in Australia

 

[deklares]

LOL.

 

[PoppedCorn]

It is the last tuf
They're saying robbs fight will be nov 3rdish at MSG

 

[Guy Threepwood]

Adelaide get the next Australian card on December 2. Looks like it's going to be a fightnight rather than a PPV.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Seriously?

Damn I'd rather drive to Melbs for a PPV

In news not related to the horrific teeth of Brock Lesnar, it looks like Frankie Edgar and the Korean Zombie will be fighting at UFC 229.

Quick question, is it legal to throw something similar to slide tackle in the octagon? Kinda like an oblique kick but actually jump off the ground into him with both feet. An absolute dog act I know but is it legal?

I picture a drop kick to the knee type of action but with 1 foot aimed at the knee cap

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Looking forward to this. Hopefully it happens.

 

[JG22]

Conor v Khabib
DC v Lesnar
Cyborg v Nunes
Whittaker v Gastelum
Woodley v Covington

decent

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Main event Adelaide?

 

[PoppedCorn]

Mehh

 

[Ry009]

Only just read that Velazquez is training with WWE, assuming he's pretty much retired now?

Hwat.

Serious??

 

[Guy Threepwood]

I read that he was training with the WWE NXT guys who I believe are a futures league. The article I read didn't say what his intentions were, just that he was a big wrestling fan growing up and that he enjoyed the experience.

 

[Quivorir]

All part of the plan. Brock, Rousey, Probably DC, now Cain

Till being offered a title shot at welterweight, quite ridiculous.

the campaigner didn't get close to making weight last fight, won a 5 round bore fest very luckily.

why even bother making weight other than for title fights?

They need to crack down on it soon because those close to title contention are just going to exploit it.

Dana can moan about returning to the days of the ceremonial weigh-ins being the actual weigh-ins, but at the end of the day if they reward title shots to guys who are nowhere near making weight, whats the point?

On top of that, they've given Romero another fight at 185 (vs Costa) at UFC 230!

FML...
