    http://mmajunkie.com/2014/04/tim-ken...-over-machida/

    UFC middleweight champ Chris Weidman on Tuesday underwent surgery to repair both of his knees, clearing the way for his title defense in July against Lyoto Machida. Although Weidman gave a thumbs-up and said the procedure was a success, there’s one middleweight who thinks he might be jumping back into the cage too early.
    “There’s no way he’s ready by July,” Tim Kennedy told MMAjunkie. “No way.”
    Kennedy (17-4 MMA, 2-0 UFC), who later this month headlines the TUF Nations Finale opposite Michael Bisping (24-5 MMA, 14-5 UFC), thinks it’s probably a combination of promotional pressure and the champ’s overzealousness that led him to agree to a July fight.
    ...

    Despite his assessment of Weidman’s timetable, Kennedy is still picking the champ to retain his belt. He said Weidman, among other things, hits harder than Machida’s previous opponent, Gegard Mousasi, who was outpointed by the ex-champ this past February.
    Kennedy also believes Weidman is superior on the mat.
    “The takedowns and scrambles that happened in [Gegard Mousasi vs. Machida] that were close, Weidman’s on a completely different level as a grappler and a wrestler,” Kennedy said. “So, I’m going to have to give the nod to Weidman.”

    i saw her on Arseno last night and she looked huge. Every part of her body looked bigger than Arsenios. If Arsenio is a buck 30 then she is okay. If he is in the 170 range no way in hell she can make 135. She had all kinds of problems at making 145. Maybe Dana can make it a catch weight for Rousey because this should be a cake walk if Carano doesn't take a couple of warm up fights. NOw Cyborg. She will have to make 135. To dangerous.

    Gina Carano was on the Arsenio Hall show and said that she is meeting with Dana White next week.

    Wow... what an awkward thing to watch. That whole appearance was set up so she could tell the world she's coming back to MMA and she basically pulls a "tee hee, I'm too embarrassed to even talk about this" routine. Weird.

    She will most likely get destroyed by anyone in the top 5.. we don't live in a fairytale land where some chick who does movies for years and gains weight is suddenly gonna make a come back and beat trained killers who have been fighting/ in the gym everyday. and i'm a carano fan. its gonna be interesting. if they give her a title shot with rousey right off the bat its gonna be more ridiculous then cummings vs cormier.

    New Pat Cummins interview:
    http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/4/6/...y-i-was-before

    "Dana said to me,‘Listen man, if I give you this fight, you're going to have to sell the s--- out of it,'" Cummins recalled. "‘There's no way around it, you're going to have to say what you need to say, you can't go out there and be shy on me, that's not going to work.' It was almost like, being that bad guy, that's not my personality or persona at all, but it was like, hey, this is my chance to shine, I have to do what I have to do."
    Cummins wasn't slain by the infamous "UFC jitters." Instead, he made a mistake often cited by fighters who who make a huge jump up to a major stage: After the fight started, he got caught up in the surreality of the moment and lost his focus.

    "Thirty seconds into it, I think I just landed a leg kick and I thought, ‘My God, my strategy is working, this was the plan, this is working.' Then all of a sudden I realized, ‘Oh s---, I'm not in the moment, I've lost my focus.'"

    yeah, I guess they realised he doesn't have enough star-power or appeal to warrant the $75,000 (to show) pay. Funny though cos when they first signed him Dana was hyping him big time and all over him...had him in his blogs and shiit and made a massive deal about it!

    It will soon get to point where they might as well skip all pretense & just start having matches like Brock Lesnar vs Mighty Mouse & John Dodson at the same time. Or how about Mighty Mouse vs some wise ass joe six pack off the street. Hell why not sign Miley Cyrus & Justin Bieber to get in the cage? Who needs sport when you can have entertainment?

    Prolly one of my biggest wins (money wise) in mma history when GSP fought Shields. Your boy Rogan was all in on the hype train nonsense. "most dangerous guy GSP has ever faced" This was such and easy pick and it was so one sided until GSP poked Shields in the finger with his eye. Shields was getting thrown around just like he was against LOmbard. The eye poke and i believe there was more than one, gave him a very slight chance. Then after the fight Shields acts like he punched GSP in the face Completely forgetting the eyepokes GSP was landing on him consistently

    Can't continue to pay a guy main card money when he isn't a draw anymore. 4-3 record isn't horrible, but 3 of those wins were split decisions.

    I think him showing a blatant lack of urgency in the last fight really did him in. You're obviously down 2 rounds and you don't even try in the 3rd round?
