If you really want to prove that you are the greatest heavyweight of all time, why not sign to an organization that presents the greatest opposition for you? Yeah, Dana is a piece of work, but then again it's about proving to the world that you are the best. Maybe Randy will sign with M-1 too, then we'll all see the fight that we always wanted. (Wishful thinking... Hehehehe)

 

With Randy out, I believe it's our boy's turn to take the torch and run with it.

 

Go BRANDON VERA!!

^ he can sign a 1-fight deal just to get the Fedor fight, then regardless of the outcome he retires after that. that would work for me.

 

Does the UFC make Vera/Sylvia a title match? I'd have no problem with that. The guy who was supposed to fight for the belt, against the guy who feels a bit cheated that he had to defend it against a guy coming out of retirement.

 

What do you think?

^ would be unfair for now to make the Vera-Sylvia fight a title fight; Sylvia is coming off a loss diba (the coming out of retirement angle is no excuse, champions should be ready for anybody and everybody).. a series of fights with the top HW's would suffice first.. giving guys like Big Nog, Napao, even Kongo & Cro Cop, a chance to position themselves again for the title would be a great opportunity.. who knows, if Big Nog wins he'll be the only fighter to hold both the UFC & PRIDE titles..

 

but still, i'll pull for Brandon to win it all...

White's reaction could determine MMA's future

 

Dana White may be the man most responsible for the meteoric growth of the UFC. It has a national television contract, it does ever-larger pay-per-view sales, it routinely sells out major venues and it has one of the most passionate fan bases in sports.

 

Much of that is due to White's grit, guile and cunning.

 

But White, the UFC president, has a challenge before him, the likes of which he has never faced in his seven years at the helm of the world's most successful mixed martial arts promotional company.

 

Though White hardly seemed upset by UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture's announcement Thursday that he is retiring as a professional fighter and severing all ties with the company, how he handles the situation will determine whether the company will continue its rocket-like ascent toward mainstream acceptance or whether it will return to the netherworld of niche sports status.

in my opinion if Randy will not change his mind, the next UFCs is gonna be big, it may sound kinda pro wrestling in tone but they will need a draw, a guy who can be a poster boy of the UFC like the way Tito was and the way Chuck and Randy is now.. Can Forrest be a poster boy? or any random UFC star? Maybe..

 

And yeah.. I promote the UFC to my co-workers.. Para dumami supporta kay Brandon Vera..

I think with Randy's resignation, mas may chance pa matutuloy pa ang Randy v. Fedor.

 

I'm almost sure Randy will jump at any opportunity to fight Fedor, and with his resignation the M1 peeps will be offering him something soon! Ang saya nun, para matapos na usap usapan!

 

Vera v. Sylvia na mamaya!!!

UFC 77: ‘Hostile Territory’ conference call highlights:

 

http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/65/ufc77websiteua6.jpg

 

Prior to the major news about the resignation of UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture yesterday there was a conference call to promote the sold-out UFC 77: “Hostile Territory” event in Cincinnati, Ohio, that takes place next weekend on October 20 at the U.S. Bank Arena.

 

UFC President Dana White, UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva, former UFC middleweight champion Rich Franklin, former heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia and Brandon Vera all participated on the call.

 

“Mr. Sunshine” sent us over a very cool post that includes edited audio snips/highlights from the actual call. It gives our readers a pretty cool inside-look on what goes on behind the scenes prior to a major pay-per-view (PPV) event.

 

Dana White:

 

* The middleweight fight between Yushin Okami and Jason MacDonald is not for a number one contender slot in the division. UFC president Dana White mentioned that there were “a lot of guys in the mix” for a title shot and that is is still possible that Dan Henderson will compete at 185 pounds.

* Tim Sylvia, Brandon Vera and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, according to White, are among the top fighters in the division and all three will more than likely be considered for a title shot with wins in their next bouts.

 

Tim Sylvia:

 

* Sylvia is feeling great — back surgery went awesome and his pain is all gone. Someone is “going to sleep” during his bout with “The Truth.”

* Sylvia believes that Vera’s lack of activity in the last year will not come into play in the fight. Both will come to bang. His stand up is good and he’s got a lot of good assets. He’s ready for a tough fight.

* Win or lose Sylvia wants to fight again in early 2008.

 

Brandon Vera:

 

* Being married to another fighter is “pretty cool.” His life is much easier at home. Hardest part is watching her get in the ring.

* His layoff sucked. But he has been training and keeping himself motivated. Took a trip over to Thailand. He now pays more attention to details inside and outside of the cage.

* Sylvia’s size causes a big problem. Timing and range is much different. Something he has trained for with other big guys. It’s the smallest heavyweight in the division against the biggest.

* He’s prepared well and is ready to see what happens.

 

Anderson Silva:

 

* Silva is more experienced than the first time he fought Franklin last year. Doesn’t feel he’s any better — just more experienced.

* Once the Octagon door closes it won’t matter where the fight takes place. He is not intimidated about it happening in Cincinnati. Fans can expect a phenomenal fight. Both fighters are going to leave it all in the Octagon.

* He has not underestimated Franklin. Silva has trained really hard and he is motivated to put on a good show for the fans. He owes it to the fans and the UFC to put on a good fight.

* Silva doesn’t feel that the UFC wants Franklin to be champion. This is an important bout for both fighters. It’s going to be the fight of the night if not the year.

 

Rich Franklin:

 

* Does not have his trademark black eye … yet. However, his lip did get “busted open” during training.

* His training has changed quite a bit. To get away from the media circus in Cincinnati he has moved his entire camp into the mountains of Wyoming. Refreshing to get out of the city and there is nothing to do but train in Wyoming.

* Training four to five hours per day.

* Anderson is number one in the weightclass and he wants to fight the best guys. He wants to perform well and set things straight in his own mind.

* He realizes now that in the initial fight he didn’t put enough time in to study Silva. This time there was a lot of emphasis on breaking down film.

* Anderson showed resilience on the ground against Travis Lutter. He’s very versatile. Showed great poise in win over Nate Marquardt.

* Had a really sore nose after loss to Silva.

* Unsure whether or not training in high altitude will help him during the fight because it is the first time he has really tried it.
