I don’t quite follow that. Maybe Jim Carry on Roids.

VM: Ficket messed his knee up. This fight is starting to look like its just not meant to be. Reports indicate that this match will just get postponed again, but I would suggest they find Sheilds someone else to fight in the meantime!

Pretty much, yeah lol. OK, we know anythin can happen and anybody can lose, but aside from Hendo, there are NO GAINS from other fights. He can only go down, not up, so what’s the point?

Again, he’s not thinking about moving up b/c he’s a better LHW, he’d do it b/c MW is a dead end. After Hendo, there’s no ladder to climb. He would be the clear number 2.

It’s like moving up a belt in BJJ. You’re gonna face tougher competition, but it makes sense b/c you’ve proven everything you needed to prove at your previous level.

AGAIN? They should just stap the WW belt around Jake Shield’s waist. Its inevitable.

You do relize when Rich is fighting he weighs around 205 right? When GSP fights he weighs about 185, when chuck fights he weighs about 215 you get my point. Rich would be a big Light heavywieght not small.

Everybody knows that in any professional sport respect and money are the same thing. Just ask Randy.

Kevin: this is for you. New Tito Ortiz Quote:

I’m getting ready for that fight right now, May 24th in Las Vegas , Nevada at the MGM Grand. This is the last fight in my contract with the UFC. Then I’m going to go and sign up with somebody else just because the way Dana White treats me as a fighter is very disrespectable.

It’s not about money anymore it’s about respect. I’m going to go with someone else who will pay me more money and treat me with more respect than Dana White has ever treated me. I’m very excited to move on, to grow and go somewhere else and help them build a company like I did with the UFC.

Dont sound like he plans on re signing with the UFC to me!
