Is Royce fighting on the UFC Brazil card? Dana said no, think he's hiding it? How can you not let him fight one farewell fight, especially on the Brazil card. Heck match him with another old school guy. Maybe Kimo?

the channel was completely removed. they started a whole new channel on youtube and removed the footage. apparently rener and dana are "talking" but no way dana lets them keep using them without collecting some $$$ and rener does them for free so thats not gonna happen.

last i heard royce was not fight as of yet but in negotiations. royce would have to fight someone like kimo or ken shamrock because he cant hang with the new kids. i also heard royce wanted some ridiculous amount of money, $1,000,000 plus % of ppv or something. maybe royce can fight james toney.

Is there any rumors or anything on more Pro Boxers moving over to MMA? And was the James Toney thing a one fight UFC deal? So he's done with MMA?

well there have been a few guys from proboxing consider coming over, mayorga was supposed to fight but some ridiculously corrupt guy named don king tried to sue him and the mma promotion before the fight happened so he dropped out.

james toney says he is not done with mma but then he was supposed to defend his title last november and as far as i know that has not happened either.

here is my take, if you took a guy like manny and gave him a year+ of nothing but GOOD takedown defense. i mean working none stop with very good wrestlers, he would be nearly title shot worthy based on the merits of his hands. if you gave him 5 years of solid grappling he could be a world champ. not a dominant world champ but he would win a title. that said, i see and hear so many guys talk about "the money isnt there", but this IMO is nothing more then hearsay. i mean chris arreola says he would never do mma (even though he loves it) because the money isnt there, yet his last fight he didnt even break 6 figures. i fully expect the money to go up in mma and THEN, and only then will more boxers consider it. they are going to need a lot more then their hands but some guys like oscar already train other things. manny is a huge fan of bj penn and bj is a huge fan of mannys. (dont let the boxing apologists read that, they still think manny doesnt know who bj even is.)

Looks like bj says it's fitch, gsp or nobody. He isn't fighting now that fitch had to pull out.

Strikeforce card. Diaz or Daley? I say Diaz via 2nd round sub, likely rear naked. Yet you never know if Daley lands a bomb early.

yeah i agree diaz will sub him, BUT nick is going to stand and bang for the 1st round minimum.
how about jardine making a comback last minute. i think mousasi beats him though.
