True, a judge denied his injunction but the legal battle of his contract is still on going. Bellator would love to book Alvarez's next fight (most likely against Chandler) but the legal issue is far from over. I can see Alvarez sitting out an entire year until he is free. He will get far more sponsor money being in the UFC.

not to mention the ufc gives its top fighters a percentage of the ppv buys. i'm sure alvarez will end up in the ufc before its all said and done.
 
So who do you guys think is gonna get the next HW Title Shot? Reem was next, he got brutally KO'd. Now what? Cain won't fight Cormier. JDS needs at least one good win to get the rematch. Cain said he wants to come back during the summer. Barnett declined the UFC contract (Sucks, I wanted to see him back). Who is even left? Hunt/Struve winner? Bigfoot rematch? HW is kinda fucked now that Reem lost.
 
Yea Reems loss fucked up the whole division in a way. But I'd guess that Bigfoot may be given the rematch since their (the UFC) are stuck between a rock and a hard place as far as contenders go.


Barnett is just trying to negotiate for a bigger ppv %. He needs to recognize that you don't look a gift horse in the mouth! The UFC doesn't have to have J.B. in order to keep growing. But the opposite of that is not true.
Also, where does he think he'll go to make HALF the money he could make in the UFC? Bellator? HA! He might want to talk to Eddie A. about that! Independents? Think he'll fight for the mony the indy shows pay? Pro wrestling? lol There's money there but no where what he'd make w/ sponrships and perks thru the UFC. He better recognuize what he has: A Golden ticket to a rejuvenated career, on the biggest stage there is (for MMA), where the most money is. Period.

Good question, the heavyweight division is lacking

I'd still like to see Reem v. Cain after he gets another win or two. I'd also like to see a rematch between Bigfoot and Reem, maybe later in the year though

Bjorn Rebney says Bellator pay-per-view on 'fast track' if Alvarez dispute ended

by Steven Marrocco on Feb 06, 2013 at 12:15 pm ET
SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Bellator's first pay-per-view event will happen sooner rather than later if Eddie Alvarez returns to the promotion's fold. "If we can figure that out, I think we'd be on a fast track ..." Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney told MMAjunkie.com.

i dont feel like bellator has the star power to get alot of ppv buys. i wonder what their target price point would be. rampage is a free agent....but i see your point, it seems that might make it harder for alvarez to escape..

cain would own the reem imo. i dont think overeem is going to have a lot of success in the ufc. i'm bummed that cormier wont fight velasquez. after watching what cormier did to bf silva and barnett it seems like he might be the best heavyweight out there right now.

Why won't he fight Cain?
 
If Fabricio wasn't tied up with this bullshit TUF Brasil, I'd pick him to be in line to fight Cain. Fuck sake man, why is he even fighting Big Nog? Waste of time. To me, him fighting Big Nog is just filler. I am done with the Nog Bros. And no, Lil Nog beating Rashad the way he did, DID NOT impress me.

Roy Nelson vs. Overeem would be a bang fest. Yes Big Country will stand and bang and NOT get knocked out. JDS gave Roy his most brutal Haymakers and couldn't knock him out...........Fabricio gave Roy a FULL CONTACT KNEE TO THE HEAD AND COULDN'T PUT HIM AWAY. And YES, even Roy Nelson's ground game is light-years ahead of Overeem (according to those that have actually trained with him) So after Reem gets outboxed by JDS, Reem will fight Roy. Roy will win by right-overhand knockdown then GnP to death. Then wait........Yes, I am a little intoxicated, but I am trying to speak coherently. JDS fights Cain late summer, Nelson challenges the loser. I am crazy........hahahahahahah
 
I catch Bellator a lot less often than UFC, it's gotta be the marketing or advertising, you see UFC stuff everywhere. I remember a few months last year the TAPOUT logo was HUGE!

I don't really know any fighters in that organization

rampage has looked bad in several of his recent fights, but i thought he looked alot better than people give him credit for in his last fight against glover texeira. he came in the best shape i've seen him for a long time and glover is a fucking monster dude. rampage bloodied him up and went the distance. i'm no die hard rampage fan but fighting texeira tough and going the distance was impressive to me. i think texeira is going to be challenging for the title by the end of 2013.
 
Well imo the only person that deserves it is Werdum, I hope they just pull him out of TUF and give him the shot. He is the only legitimate contender right now (Not that the UFC cares). Werdum would just destroy Nog anyway, and I'm a Nog fan.
 
I bet by the time Werdum and Big 'Nog fight that will basically be billed as a "#1 contender match" for Werdum since he is ranked #2 on the official UFC rankings(http://uk.ufc.com/news/Ratings-Breakdown-Heavyweights-Feb-2013)
.....but we know how those #1 contender matches go ask 'Reem, Bisping and really even Rashad but anyway.......the real reason I'm posting is to ask you all if you've been watching TUF: Jones v Sonnen?

Before it started Dana kept dropping hints about "A Monster that everybody was afraid of and sent everyone he fought to the hospital!

I was skeptical:rolleyes: , but Tuesday night Uriah Hall fought Adam Cella and dropped him w/ a beautiful spinning wheel kick. After that KO, I thought DAMN Dana wasn't bullshittin' this dudes a beast!!!:twisted: (Alright for those that didnt see:Adam didn't regain consciousness for a full 4 mins and in that time was gasping and twitching and staring blankly at the ceiling, I'll post a gif in the next post or vid)

So I just seen this video on the UG of Uriah fighting Chris Weidman in 2010.

[video=youtube;lAo_eAM_Hsg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=lAo_eAM_Hsg#![/video]

So is anybody watching the show (TUF Jones v Sonnen)? And how long till a Hall/Weidman rematch?
