Travis Browne hoping for November return.

[shonuf]

Just said on MMA Hour.

So to keep track.

Browne - November
Reem - September
Bigfoot - suspension ends in Sept. - wants to fight at the UFC Fight Night card planned for Brasilia, Brazil, on Sept. 13.
Gonzaga - broken hand ?
Mir - ?
Barnett - just started to pratice again after a knee injury.

Werdum and Cain out until the end of the year too. l o l

No wonder the UFC brought back AA

 

[fists_of_stone]

Talk about a log jam

 

[RyanRAW]

The bigger you are; The longer it takes to fight.

 

[rusty1007]

Barnett v. Bigfoot please

 

[shonuf]

Werdum and Cain out until the end of the year too. l o l

yeah. and to keep adding.

JDS broken hand
Big Nog - knee surgery out for a while
Brandon Vera - not sure if he's still even in the UFC?
Rothwell - suspended the end of june/early july
Todd Duffy - ?

 

[MuayThaiBX]

Big Foot vs Reem 2 in September makes a lot of sense right now if Nelson and Hunt are gonna fight.

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

Jeez why so long????????

 

[gspfedkobe24]

Derrick Lewis wants Travis. The black beast is a interesting fighter on the rise......

He may have his hands full with Guto Inocente though, that kid is dangerous.

Isn't Duffee recovering from some pretty serious disease or condition?

Found this:

Hope he comes back sometimes soon and keeps up the fast recovery as he stated earlier in the year.

 

[SammyG420]

he's gonna fight either Hunt or a rematch with Silva

That sucks. I wonder if the Hammerfist of Doom caused this?

Glad he is getting better

Assuming he doesn't retire, I think Mir should rematch Vera. It gives Mir a chance to avenge an old loss right after his knee and before the resurgence, and if Vera wins, he might have one last shot at being relevant.

We could see Barnett/Browne II and Bigfoot/Reem II based on the timeline, but with all those rematches I think it gets weird. Not sure what I'd rather see though.

Plus where does Miocic fall (assuming he beats Maldonaldo)? Do they reschedule the JDS fight?

i think if Miocic wins they need to make Miocic VS Reem for the next title shot. Reem won't have the biggest streak but they'd be the highest ranked guys with win streaks going into a championship fight. Plus the Reem VS Champ fight is big money and this may be the last time to make that happen. They need that PPV.

 

[BizMarkie]

Not exactly stacked, now is it?

 

[mophoplz]

Might as well send the entire HW division on a group vacation at this point.

I like that idea. Right now Reem is the most marketable challenger, and Miocic would be the only top 10 guy on any sort of notable streak.

Or, maybe we'll see JDS/Reem once his hand recovers (finally!). A boy can hope, right?

Feed him to Schaub.
