oh shit they added Kid? haha these are the sickest prelims ever

I haven't heard his name in awhile, he hasn't been the same since his injury.....I remember when there was all the hype about him & Faber squaring off and now no one seems to care.

 

[B-Buzz]

he didn't look bad against Mighty Mouse his last fight. I think fighting someone that was actually faster than him threw him off. He said he learned a lot about American-style fighting and is going to work on his takedowns and defense, so it's nice he's facing someone at the bottom of the division to get his work in

Edgar and Maynard Both Injured, Rampage vs. Hamill New Main Event (lol)

Injuries have sidelined both Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard, forcing the cancellation of UFC 130's main event fight, MMA Fighting has learned.

UFC president Dana White confirmed to MMA Fighting that both fighters are out.

According to sources with knowledge of the situation, Edgar broke ribs, while Maynard suffered a knee injury.

The bout would have been the last of the trilogy. Maynard won the first bout in April 2008 in a unanimous decision. In January, the rematch ended in an all-time classic, with Maynard nearly knocking out the champion in the first round before Edgar rebounded and forced a five-round draw.

Maynard-Edgar III is likely to happen in the future, but there is no timetable yet for its scheduling.

With no replacement fight, Quinton Jackson vs. Matt Hamill will be promoted to the main event, while Frank Mir vs. Roy Nelson is the co-main event.

UFC 130 takes place on May 28 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

 

[MRTHECOSE]

damn i was juiced for that one

 

[Pansas]

So are they still making a ppv out of this?! Lol

 

[dome781]

They're gonna be hurtin on the PPV buys if that's the main event...

 

[B-Buzz]

yeah I read earlier that Rampage-Jardine did around 360K buys, I'm guessing this might get even less. Other shitty part is now Story-Alves is on the main card so if you don't plan on getting the PPV you can't watch it for free anymore lol.

 

[STICK]

Is anything on the line for Rampage/Hamill, like being #1 contender or anything?

 

[B-Buzz]

I'm guessing if Page wins he'll be #2 behind the Rashad/Davis winner. Hamill would still be behind those 2, Forrest, Bader and Machida

 

[RM211]

Still a pretty good card tho...both main and co main events are fighting for #1 contender spots imo
Not buying it anymore tho.lol...but willing to chip in with beer!lol

 

[RM211]

Brian stann looked like a killer against leben as well...plus stefan struve alwayz puts on a good show,win or lose
