Im especially disappointed in not seeing Scoggins he impressed me last fight
 
Yeah sucks. I was looking forward to those two fights. Ben Nyguen and Scoggins both looked good their last fights. And Pearson vs Trujillo was gonna be a war. Pearson vs Laprise should be good though.
 
I would like to see them fight diego sanchez next. They would be good tune up fights for diego.
 
Bummed about Pearson-Trujillo being scrapped; that one was guaranteed fireworks. Laprise is going to try to TriStar gameplan Ross.
 
Sean Shelby is being a pretty lazy match maker. He can never get his guys fights in time (ex. Aljamain Sterling), and when a fighter pulls out, he completely removes Ben Nguyen from the card, instead of trying to find a replacement for him.

Joe Silva at least put Laprise in against Pearson and is actively seeking a replacement to fight Alan Patrick (Laprise's original opponent).
 
Trujillo couldn't get a visa. Maybe issues stemming from a domestic violence case? Whatever it is, I don't understand why you get denied 1 week before his scheduled fight. Shouldn't they check WAYYY before to see if he'd be cleared before he goes into training camp etc? I don't get it
 
Classic Scoggins.

Cried on the mic after his last night about the UFC keeping him on the shelf despite that fact that he's been injury-prone and now, lo and behold, he gets hurt has to pull out of this fight.
 
that sucks. Ben Nguyen is a great fighter. they need to give him more fights. sucks for Trujillo too. his fights are hella exciting
 
Was stoked for Trujillo and Ross,

Hopefully Chad shows up with something, he looked terrible his last fight. And I also thought competition on tuf was pretty weak.

Hope gets the win tho, respect for taking the fight too.
 
Nguyen-Scoggins was the fight I was looking forward to most on that card, fuck.

Despite it's many leaps forward, the UFC is and always shall be amateur hour. Bunch of douchebags who wound up rich.

Yeah I don't think so. There is always room for improvement but you don't come this far in a challenging industry like MMA on luck alone. To be sure there had to be luck, and at this point its much more sure, but there are too many things that could have derailed the whole project along the way.

Oh, I don't mean to imply that they fell into this by luck alone, but there are many small details they don't properly pay attention to, and that's a consistent fact.
