Too bad Matt Brown's so highly ranked these days.

Those two would have a Thai clinch battle for the ages.

Fuck the rankings, Brown just lost and needs to get a long streak going to be close to a title shot, let him fight Saunders for the fans.

 

[SUBLIME FAN]

So wait.

We get Saunders under contract, but not Askren, Riddle, Fitch or Shields.

Can't be considered a sport when you sign fighters that sell instead of fighters that win.

Wouldl like to see Askren, but do you really want to see Fitch and Shields back? Those two gave the sport a bad name for a few years, theres a reason the UFC cut em. People knew what was about to happen when a Fitch or Shields fight came on. I dont wanna see them back potentially laying on guys for 3 rounds. Even though I think they would get beat by a lot of top guys at 170 this day and age.

Good for him. And how long until people start talking about the UFC picking up bellators cast offs?

Well, you know some smartass is going to.

That's right, and UFC isn't a sport. Its a business.

Matt Brown deserves someone better than Ben Saunders

I'd rather watch a Saunders fight than an Askren one.

I'd rather watch an Askren one.

sweet...can't wait to see his first fight.

 

[gabe1k]

Hooray! I just hope he gets to fight often. He fought more frequently in Bellator than he did in the UFC.

 

[The Taxman]

Weird. I just watched the Wolff fight the other day too

UFC don't need another B level WW

Its a balancing act between both of them, thats what mma always has been and always will be.

 

[Elysianwing]

Thatch/Saunders is the match to make, imo.

Yes, its a blurred lines thing.

Good for Ben. Always a fan.

not weird. you should watch that fight everyday

 

[Farbeyondthesun]

If he's matched well, he can stick for a while and provide some entertaining fights. But knowing Zuffa he'll prob get bad match ups and get cut again.

Yeah they don't need fighters who bring excitement. It's all about rankings, if a fighter isn't elite he can't provide excitement and is worthless.
