Damn Someone got the wrong news!

Strange. Looks like there may be a problem.

No win situation for Rory. No win situation for the UFC. I don't think this fight gets made.

And Johnson will just hit you with a jab and you'll go down.. Yes, we all see the future so clearly

Unless they're going to give Rory a TS next, this is the best option.

Rory takes this fight if it gets booked.

Brilliant AV. I don't think I've seen that before.. Or I forgot.

 

[beef-fire]

Whats the issue, he wants the fight in Australia?

 

[Diet Otsuka]

Well yeah, it was reported that it was VERBALLY agreed to and there was an event targeted. That doesn't mean it is a done deal.

Lots can come up when the managers and their fighters sit down and make correspondence with the UFC brass.

Hah, it was actually another users from AGES ago here, can't remember the name. Given your account date I'm betting you've seen it before. :wink:

I like this fight...I think it makes sense given this stupid trilogy nobody wants to see

 

[Hendo101]

I really hope this fight doesn't happen. I'd rather see Rory wait for Hendricks/Lawler III and Lombard fight Condit or Brown/Saffiedine winner

I'd still rather see MacDonald vs Lawler. If I was Rory I would not fight Lombard in Australia. Because who knows what will happen. The judges may try and screw him over and give Lombard a decision he didn't earn. Have the fight on neutral territory.

He already has earned a title shot and doesn't owe Hector anything.

Rory is next in line after the trilogy. Too much risk. If he beats Lombard then the UFC loses a challenger after Rory fights for the championship.

Where are the tin foil hats?

Where are the tin foil hats?

The judges usually give the home town guy the nod in decisions. No conspiracy here. Happens all the time.
