Dana White’s thoughts on GSP

20140418-170451.jpg

When GSP stepped down from the UFC in december after winning his fight against Johnny Hendricks due to a Controversial split decision many wondered what would be next for him. I mean he vacated his title and after all he’s arguably one of the best in the Welterweight division. Further more with That division ever growing by the day thus becoming more competitive there’s no telling what could happen. Many people in the industry including UFC president Dana White understood that GSP just needed to take some time off. However in March when GSP suffered his second ACL injury in the last year. It’s really hard to determine the future of GSP he’s still only in his early 30’s but his recent role in the blockbuster “captain America winter soldier” he may have other things then fighting on his mind. Further more it has been said that GSP made up to 5Million per fight so he obviously won’t be hurting for money anytime soon. (You can check out what Dana White said about GSP here)

So what do you guys thinkwill we see GSP back in the octagon or has this MMA great hung up his gloves for good?

Gina Carano possibly signing with UFC

Gina Carano is arguably one of the best in WMMA. She’s one of the women that took WMMA off the ground and got people to notice. She’s also one of the first WMMA stars to pursue an acting career outside of fighting. (And now Rousey Is following in those footsteps thus creating a path of her own) It’s been 5 years since we’ve seen Carano in an octagon surrounded by the cage. Could it be that we may not have to wait much longer? (Check out Dana Whites thoughts on that possibility here)

A dream fight that everyone wants to see is Carano vs Rousey. Two very high profile names squaring off against each other has to be good for business. In fact it sounds so good that the champ Ronda Rousey is even willing to fight in Gina’s weight class of 145. It should also be noted that Rousey has high respect for Carano. Carano on the other hand has one gol in mind and that’s to get back where she belongs and possibly become champ. It doesn’t matter if its Rousey or Davis. She just wants to fight.
So what’s next for Carano? Only time will tell

Cat Zingano Status

It was announced 6 days ago that UFC Women’s Battemweight Champion Ronda Rousey will be defending her title at UFC175 live on P.P.V. July 5th during international fight week against Invicta veteran Alexis Davis. Davis’ last victory against Jessica Eye at UFC170 indeed put her in title contention, but some fans had the question what about Zingano?
Yes what about Zingano? Cat Zingano earned the spot to be number 1 contender for the title last year when she knocked out Miesha Tate? So why hasn’t she got her shot?
As some of you may or may not know Zingano tore her ACL and had to back out of the fight. Not only that but the tragic death of her husband and training partner set her back as well. It’s been a tough year for Zingano indeed.
Yesterday at the TUF nations final press conference Dana White Stated that Zingano won’t be back anytime soon but she still has her spot to fight Rousey (you can read more of the article here) http://msn.foxsports.com/ufc/story/dana-white-cat-zingano-still-going-to-be-out-awhile-041614

With all this being said my prayers will be with Zingano and I know I speak for a lot of people when I say I can’t wait to see her back in the octagon. The fight between her and Rousey should be a site to see.

Do you guys think Davis was a good choice to step up against Rousey? Let me know, I for one can’t wait to see these two square off. I’m a fan of both but of corse my heart is with Rousey.

What’s next for Ronda Rousey?

20140412-133350.jpg

Other then Cyborg vs Rousey, Rousey vs Carano has been a dream fight for many WMMA fans for quite sometime. yesterday this article surfaced online discussing the possibility of this fight http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2014/0411/573081/would-ronda-rousey-give-gina-carano-a-title-shot/

Rousey has went on record saying she would love to fight Carano. Rousey has a huge amount of respect for Carano and rightfully so because Carano had a dominating career in strikeforce and is indeed a pioneer for WMMA.
Although the women’s BATEMWEIGHT champion is completely game for this fight there’s a few contributing factors as to why it won’t happen. The most notable one is that Carano fights in a catch weight class a totally different class then the champ which means the title would NOT be on the line. Another argument would be that Carano hasn’t been in a cage in the last 5 years.
So what do you guys think? Is this a fight we will see in the future?

It should also be noted that yesterday it was announced that Rousey’s next bout will take place at UFC175 on Saturday July 5th against Alexis Davis.
What do you guys think about this bout. I for one am very excited.

The outcome of Lesnar vs Taker was possibly forshadowed years ago

In this video you can clearly here taker tell Lesnar “you wanna do it”

And when asked by Ariel what he said to him taker said “it’s a personal thing” and even when asked are you guys cool? Taker still said “it’s personal”

Maybe the question of “do you wanna do it” was pertaining to beating the streak. Could it be that undertaker hand picked Brock Lesnar four years ago?

What do you guys think?
See for yourselves

If UFC clashed with WWE

The things you find while browsing the Internet can be amazing sometimes. Today thanks to a tweet by Shayna Baszler I have discovered a scenario of what it would be like if four of the biggest names in WMMA got involved with the cast of total divas. Of corse at the moment this is only wishful thinking but who’s to say it won’t ever happen in the future? If it did would you be gushing like me? Or would it even matter to you? What better time to consider the possibilities then on the road to WRESTLEMANIA!!!???

With that being said please enjoy this awesome senecio. I thank whoever wrote this. Seriously it’s genius

Shayna Baszler TUF18 blog #8

20140309-155032.jpg

For today’s blog read Shayna’s lessons that she learned while being in thy TUF house. My favorite quote from this blog is geared towards the Queens Army (her fans) in which it says “For those who stay I will reign in blood and you will be greatly rewarded and for those who bail we will not save you”

I truly am so happy that I stumbled upon this slow thus discovering Shayna Baszler and my love for WMMA. I know in my heart the queens army will be rewarded on 4/16/14 when Baszler defeats Kaufman.

Until then though please enjoy today’s blog
