    Struve in, Mir out vs. Schuab.

    The internets are atwitter that Lesnar/Mir are the next TUF coaches. No thanks.

    The fans overwhelmingly said no to a third Lesnar/Mir fight and DW canceled it. Can't imagine he would go back on that in such a massive way. Actually I can imagine it but I hope it isn't happening. Lesnar has no business coaching with so little experience and haven't we just seen that asshole Mir as a coach a couple seasons ago?

    I really hope that is just a bad rumour, I was looking forward to Faber/Cruz or something along those lines...maybe Torres.

    Cro Cop says he's back in February.

    Cro Cop vs. Mark Hunt in Australia? Sweetness.

    There are also rumors that if Lesnar does the TUF coaching, Dana will let him do WM.

    Struve/Schaub isn't happening. Schaub is fighting Mirko Cro Cop.

    Put him out to pasture, Schaub.

    Re: UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship [Upcoming Events]

    I like it. Not as much as Hunt/Cro Cop 2, but still pretty good.

    Cro Cop is becoming such a stepping stone.

    For the record I think Pat Barry is a better striker than Schuab and Cro Cop managed to beat him (albeit only after Barry broke his hand and his foot) so I don't know what Schuab's chances are.

    Shoulder injury in the Brock fight.

    Apparently, JDS doesn't want to wait for Cain and wants a fight in between.

    Re: UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship [Upcoming Events]

    Carwin probably isn't close to returning either, right? I thought I remember reading that he would start his rehab after New Year's.

    JDS/who?

    Good night, Mir.

    That could actually make sense, since Mir was just pulled from his fight with Schaub.

    Re: UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship [Upcoming Events]

    There really aren't many other fights that make much sense. Maybe Schaub but thats a big step up in competition for Schaub. JDS has already beaten Nelson, Gonzaga, Crocop, and Struve. He won't fight his mentor Big Nog. Brock isn't training, may be done fighting, and coming off a loss. Carwin probably isn't ready for a while. Gotta think Mir wants that fight since a win would instantly make him the top contender.

    Re: UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship [Upcoming Events]

    Mir would get rocked worse than Brock rocked him. Unlike Cain, Mir doesn't have the wrestling pedigree to exploit JDS' weakness. Mir's boxing is too sloppy and slow for JDS, too.

    Either way, Mir is getting KO'd if that fight happens. It is the only fight that makes sense for both fighters, too. That still makes for a nice co-main event for the April card, as well.
