Aug,

Yeah, makes sense to have a warm up fight before the title shot.

Hendricks is like an appetizer for Boetsch. I'd love to see Rockhold vs Werdum. Luke's a freakin' huge MW, but I could see a catchweight at like 220 happening.

Rockhold enters the cage at ~205 with a six pack after dieting. Werdum ~242 with love handles. Rockhold can lift & eat and fight at an in shape 220. It's a good fight, but I don't see the point of it unless Rockhold wanted to stay & make a run for the HW belt.

And for Hendricks, everything is like an appetizer.

In the embedded for Cain vs Werdum they went back and forth a ton. You can tell they legit despise each other lol.

Fighting a HW after getting knocked out by Bisping is pretty stupid, but Rockhold is obviously as dumb as a box of rocks so not surprising. Would be very surprised if the UFC made the fight, makes no sense for either fight as they are both contenders in their own divisions. Who knows with WME though.

If Werdum is in great shape he's usually about 235 while still carrying some fat. And I could see Luke coming in at 215. Still a decent size advantage but nothing too crazy.

Werdum sounding shook:

Quote:

"I only fight people, I don’t fight chickens,” Werdum told MMA Fighting after Rockhold’s comments. "He’s just promoting himself because he knows nobody is talking about him. I’m one step away from the belt. Why would I fight a chicken?"

Meh, would be a pretty bad move for Werdum to fight him. I think he gets little to no credit for beating a really dangerous guy.

Cliffs on Rockhold/Werdum beef:

Werdum cut in line to the bathroom at a bar, then stole Luke's cab with the girl he'd been flirting with in it.

Nah he pulled out of the Jacare fight with an injury and really hasn't said much about when he's gonna return. He tried to be a model for a lil while.

They could even have it be for the interim catchweight title to help promote the fight!

Eh you might be right. Might get a lot of hype because of the beef. Rockhold is WOAT on the mic though so can't see him hyping up the fight very well and Werdum is kinda funny but not great.

And fighters get a big increase in pay when they fight for the title.

So what do you do when you lost to the current champ and don't have a logical progression back for a while? I think it was strategically smart from the position Rockhold's in, if it doesn't take nothing really lost but right now everyone's talking about it.

Plus, if you look like Rockhold at his level you should pretty much only take money fights.

Werdum wins his next fight he's likely getting the shot.

If he loses his next fight/title fight the Rockhold fights always there.

Damn, good fight. PPV is pretty good. Would love for it to do well, and for Larkin to put on a great performance and become a popular champ. If him and Rory both win, Larkin vs Rory would be epic.

Would also like for it to be very successful for bellator as a big F U to WME for letting Larkin go.
