I agree with you on the Reyes fight but i wonder how much he was losing interest in LHW now and if he is beginning to struggle to make 205 easily. He's a big guy and he keeps pushing his strength and conditioning so that could have been a factor too. Stipe is very good and does have power but i can see Jones smothering him against the cage and cutting him up with elbows - will be an interesting fight though, if it happens yeah i saw that, i'd made the champ-champ comment before he gave it up / was stripped today. Am in favour of that tbh since none of the male champ-champs have defended in both weight classes. When boxers do it they usually give up the lighter belt and i think MMA should do the same - just holds up a division unnecessarily otherwise

Hi, i've got a fighter enrolled for the 145lbs division 4 in London but i can't see a date for the fights anywhere. Says 1st August but that is obviously past - when are they so i can make sure the fighter has travelled to London in time Thanks

Yeah Burns looked crazy good against Woodley. Can't see how Usman wins this, does he really want to take Burns to the mat? The guy is one of the few mama fighters that can hang in a bjj discussion with Maia, Jacare and Werdum. When i heard that they were fighting and Usman was the one moving camp that clinched it for me. Not often teammates fight but when they do it's usually the contender that has to leave. The champ leaving just makes me think he knows he needs to pick up some more skills to win to the camp have picked their winner.

Cormier is a very very good fighter but unfortunately not elite, will be interesting to see what happens if Jones does get Stipe next. Wonder if he will try to be the first Champ / Champ to defend both belts? (assuming Jones wins but i can't see how Stipe beats him unless Jones chin is weak for a HW which i doubt)

This would be amazing! Though can't see it happening anytime soon - if Gathje beats Khabib (which i doubt) then there will be a rematch, if he loses and looks good in the loss well he will get another number 1 contender fight which i could see being vs Chandler if he beats whichever killer the UFC gives him for a first fight. Chandler is understandably going to want top 5 money from the UFC and they will expect him to back that up. Could see him being given Tony with the winner getting a title or number 1 contender fight to follow

Don't want to even imagine the mat burn!

Great found them there, thanks

I've noticed a couple of fighters that had gi's in their outfit area and was wondering if anyone can point me towards a company that sells them - would like one for a couple of my grappling themed fighters - imagining the old GSP in a Gi striding to the cage or Yoshida in Pride approach to fight attire Grateful for any help

Hi, just getting back into playing this after originally playing it years ago. Saw an email from Mike in my inbox and decided to give it a try again. Enjoying it though and remembering dimly how much there was to learn! Very tempted to try starting a gym too - looks interesting and will make the game a little more active participation wise i think, though slightly worried that it bombs if i do! Fav fighter is Shogun, got into MMA in the Pride days and will never forget seeing him fighting Rampage and Overeem and basically going WTF who is this guy doing jumping kicks in the cage and making Rampage quit!
