I'd rather see Tomasz Drwal Vs. Thiago Silva, but casual UFC-Joe doesn't know either of them...

By Kevin Iole, Yahoo! Sports, Had the sport of mixed martial arts been around in 1966, the history of boxing may have taken a vastly different turn.

That's because two-time boxing heavyweight champion George Foreman said he would have chosen MMA instead of boxing had it been available to him.

Foreman, who in 1994 became the oldest man to win the heavyweight championship when as a 45-year-old he knocked out Michael Moorer in one of boxing's most memorable matches, said he is an MMA fan.

this has probably been posted. i havnt been on spurstalk for 3 or 4 days.

I don't think Rob could win, but what if Rob did win? What would happen to the WEC belt? Would he continue holding and defending both? Aside from that conundrum, it doesn't really make sense to move Rob over to the UFC. I don't see this fight happening. If they were going to send anyone over from WEC it should be Filho.

Edit: You could also tell from Mir's comments that Filho probably shouldn't be in the WEC -- sorry, slightly off topic.

[LEONARD]

I know...it doesn't make says. It's purely based on what he said until we hear something else...

and yes, Filho should be in the UFC...

Rampage beats Hendo
Hendo moves to his real weightclass and beats Anderson Silva
Filho moves to the UFC and fights Hendo ( of a matchup)

That's my hope anyway...

I thought they screwed Filho over when they took him to the WEC. Are they gonna let Hendo drop down if he does lose?

That would be a great matchup. I'd actually love to watch Silva get destroyed by Filho or Hendo. Then, to watch those two go at it? B-E-A-UTIFUL

[LEONARD]

I'm sure he'd drop down if he lost...

Filho should've fought Hendo in the tourny, but Hendo lost to Misaki...still haven't figured that fight out.

Filho has a bit of Matt Lindland in him in the eyes of fans as far as being dominate, yet a bit boring.

Anybody have an update on Swick?

[dallaskd]

I posted this in the other thread. damn good idea if they will accept..

UFC 76 is Hostile Territory, because it's in Ohio and Franklin is from there...ect. Matt Hamill is from Cinci too. How about a bisping-hamill rematch in Cinci? First fight on bispings turf and the second one in Hamill's home town. Now that would be hostile territory. Heck, throw ortiz-evans on there and call it UFC 76: Rematch.
