Off-Topic/Minor MMA News and Notes

[dbreiden83080]

One of the more notable participants in the afternoon's session was "The Ultimate Fighter 3" cast member Ross Pointon. The Cage Rage veteran appeared twice in the UFC following his stint on the show, losing both contests.
Vying for an unprecedented second stint on the program, Pointon showed up with a haircut that sported the letters "UFC" etched into the back of his head.

Oh you gotta love Ross. I said all along if they make Bisping a coach just have Ross be an assistant. Give him a chair and a 6 pack, while he spouts his various catch-phrases

"Bring the Pain"

"They call me the Gladiator"

" in A Lets get it on MAN"

[Evan]

This will be a good season.

You know what'll happen here. Dana loves the guy, he'll get on the show - and he'll lose his qualifying fight. Probably by sub in the first round.

lol that was my favorite!!

Who do you guys think the US coach will be?

[Evan]

Hendo or Rich?

[ATRAIN]

They need to hire ross to commentate with they are in England. THAT WOULD RULE!!

[ATRAIN]

Hendo or Rich?

Rich already did it, I think Hendo.

[desflood]

The winner of Hendo/Franklin, probably. I think that's who they're planning on matching Bisping up with next?

[Evan]

I don't think that matters really.

Well Franklin or Hedo would fit.

LOL, he'll be so wasted i doubt we'll pick much up.

"Yeah man that Bisping is a in warrior but i want another crack at it man. You know back home at me local pub they call me The Gladiator. I got a head hard as a in rock and can fight all night hey, somebody hurry up with that Budweiser"

"5 dollars"

"Lets get it on MAN"

Evan and i were just talking about this, i can't imagine why Rich would fight Bisping? He says he is committed to 205 now and wants to stay there. Bisping at 185 is a step back for Rich.

Rich is commited to whatever the UFC asks him to do. He's a company man like most of these guys.

Rich gets paid pretty well now to fight whoever they tell him to and make it look like a challenge.

[dbreiden83080]

I wouldn't go that far. But if he does great, Rich would smash Bisping

[dbreiden83080]

And the main reason i doubted and still do Rich fighting Bisping is from his own words. After he fought Hammill he said in the press conference that he "Wanted to dedicate himself to putting on more muscle, now that he is at 205" That "He needed to get bigger and stronger if he wanted to compete there" Doesn't sound to me like he'd be thrilled if the UFC knocked on his door and said "We need you to fight Bisping back at 185" All i'm saying.

[dbreiden83080]

Maybe, i'd love to see it. Then again Dana may just say "You had your shot, lets give the tryout spot to a kid with more potential"

I mean at one point, this guy lost 9 out of 10 fights

[Evan]

I think it would be interesting if he is serious.

[dbreiden83080]

I don't think it matters how serious Ross is.

Sure it does.

If he really wants to take MMA seriously a redemption fighter going into tuf is interesting.

If he is just there to be a dumbass bar room brawler I couldn't care less and its pointless to have him on the show.

I agree but Ross doesn't have the talent to do anything on the show. It would be interesting if he was serious and could win some fights. I don't think he can though.
