UFC Conspiracy Theory of the Day: Anthony Pettis Is Going to Steal TJ Grant’s Title Shot

'At first we dismissed this theory as lunatic ravings from the same people who would tell you that Luke Rockhold signaled that he was ready to take a dive against Vitor Belfort, or that Chael Sonnen bangs his desk to signify that he’s ready for his close-up. Would Pettis really fake an injury — or would the UFC invent one — in order to screw over TJ Grant and cash in with a bigger fight? Come on, that’s absurd. At least we thought so until we read this:

“I can be 100% ready to fight Benson Henderson in Milwaukee,” said Pettis to Fuel TV. “With all due respect to T.J. Grant, Milwaukee is my town, and the fight with Ben is the fight everyone has wanted for years.”

Here’s what Grant had to say about the situation…

Kickboxing, worst nose break I've ever seen!

I've got some money on Anderson Silva this weekend, can't fucking wait!

 

[Marla 420]

Anderson/Weidman is gonna be good. If Anderson wins or losses he should fight Mousasi/Vitor 2 in his next fight.

 

[Corso312]

This would be my list;

Contenders

HW- None, JDS is the closest thing to a contender and his last win over Hunt was impressive, but I don't think I would be very interested in watching another Cain v. JDS rematch.. If he has 1 or 2 more impressive wins like that I think it would make it a lot more interesting, but the HW division seems dead, Cain is the only guy I'm really interested in seeing fight

LHW- Gustafsson, possibly Rashad if he has a couple more impressive wins over qualified guys, maybe ever Vitor

MW- Weidman, Vitor

WW- Hendricks, winner of Ellenburger v. MacDonald, Matt Brown

LW- Pettis, Grant

FW- Lamas, Korean Zombie, and I'd love to see Conor McGregor win a few more in explosive fashion like he did in his UFC debut, KO'd Marcus Brimage in like a minute! He fights again in August

BW- None, maybe Assuncao?

 

[Corso312]

Nah I'm good...donate it wildlife fund. I heard Anderson wont fight outside of Brazil because he's juiced up n can't pass piss test.

 

[Padawanbater2]

They don't piss test in Brazil?

 

[Padawanbater2]

Lets hear some predictions

 

[Padawanbater2]

Lets hear some predictions

Silva by TKO, rd. 3
Edgar by Decision, rd. 3 (Edgar has to win this fight otherwise he'll likely be let go by the UFC)
Roger Gracie by Submission, rd. 2 (total guess)
Munoz by TKO, rd. 3 (this should be an awesome fight, almost completely even on paper, Boetsch has a bit more experience and is a bit younger, but I think Munoz is a little hungrier and has less time in his career, 3 years older)
Swanson by Decision, rd. 3
Craig by TKO, rd. 2
Parke by Submission, rd. 2
Herman by KO, rd. 2 (going with the underdog on this one, he has to win, otherwise faces release by the UFC!)
Barboza by TKO, rd. 1
Baczynski by Decision, rd. 3
Mitchell by Submission, rd. 3

 

[Corso312]

I think the tests can be manipulated in Brazil...kinda like Arturo gotti wife killed his his ass n walked with a bribe.

 

[Beefbisquit]

I'd highly question that. UFC standards are the UFC standards. Did you hear the piss tests are being falsified from somewhere reliable, or is that just a gut feeling?

 

[Corso312]

No, just two friends who been saying dude won't leave Brazil for that reason. Brazil is extremely corrupt.

 

[Marla 420]

Isn't this fight in Vegas? Brazil I won't say is corrupt (Wouldn't be shocked if it was though) they are pretty laid back though. Vitor can fight on TRT in Brazil but can't in Vegas. If Anderson/Vitor happens it would be to to Vitor's benefit if it happens in Brazil.

 

[Marla 420]

I got Siver/Munoz/Gracie/Edgar/Weidman. Wiedman/Anderson will be fucking good, Anderson hasn't fought a good fighter since Vitor imo.

Hell yes! 3 hours of KO's! This video is almost perfectly edited too, I say almost because for some reason, they hired the dumbass commentator to come in every 10th KO to say some bullshit that takes up an extra 30 seconds, other than that though, awesome video

 

[Padawanbater2]

I've got $40 on Anderson Silva! Any of you guys put any money down?

Any predictions?

Who's ordering the fight?

 

[Padawanbater2]

Wow holy shit, first fight on FX was awesome! TKO rd. 2 by way of leg kicks to Edson Barboza
