I was talking to a friend who said Lesnar was on a 6 year contract with the UFC which wont allow him to fight for another company. With Fedor's previous record with Dana White i cant see him joing UFC anytime soon.

Looks like this match is not gonna happen for afew yaers.

UFC 100 this weekend. The card looks amazing , cant wait!!

It's a shame MMA has fallen into the more pro-wrestling style promotions model than a more open boxing style.

In these days of extended contracts etc there are more and more great fights which will probably never happen, or will be delayed till the fighter are past their best, due to politics.

That said, yep, UFC does have a great card lined up, lets hope it delivers.

Anyone else enjoy UFC100 as much as I did!

Won't say anything more for now in case anyone hasn't seen it, but if you can find Mir/Lesnar anywhere its well worth a look.

wwe is so different now to how it used to be and cos now i dont take it as seriously i just watch it for the great moves, and mainly the comedy cheesy moments that they cant afford,

however i do believe that wwe is still awesome,

they need someone else now to come and fill more of a stone cold role or something, there is just something missing.

i was never a cena fan but recently ive started to take to him more, hhh is personally my favourite and always has been, i think would be good to put the two of them together and get them to destroy legacy,

thats a question, will legacy get any bigger, maybe bulldogs son would fit in well,

these are just my thoughts at the moment, wat does anyone else think, spinner do u know if any big signings are on the cards?

Dana is still after fedor, rumour has it hes even willing to offer him a one fight deal. Guess hes convinced brock will beat him.

Hopefully that proves to be true.

Cant see Brock beating Fedor though. Maybe in afew years but Fedors in his prime just now i think.

Interesting times indeed. Lashley is actively pursuing Lesnar now, and it would probably be a more dangerous match for Lesnar than you may think given their almost identical amateur backgrounds. The Fedor match would be a one off dual promotion, and of course if there is enough money involved, anything can happen.

Another quality PPV this weekend, amid the dramatics of Jarret being suspended/fired (all anyone really knows is that Dixie told him to go home indefinitely) for shacking up with Angles wife..

With Angle only having a couple of months left in his contract and being the top guy, its gonna get more interesting!

Fun to see the angle they're taking with Joe/Taz too, TNA's been needing a Taker level gimmick since the beginning and who better.

Christian would make a lot of sense as Jericho's partner, but booking wise so would Ziggler.

WWE is in transition now which is always a fun time with the new stars breaking out, much like the original Harts/Bulldogs in the late 80's, Michaels/Perfect etc in the 90's, and Rock/Austin etc in the 00's. Punk is already underway, the Harts are building up and its just a matter of time before Dibiase turns on Legacy. I can see WM30 being headlined by a 3 way between the current Legacy for the titles..

Regarding big signings, none for WWE unless Joe or AJ get let go..

Massive blow to Affliction now with Josh Barnett being banned from fighting Fedor at the August 1st "Trinity" PPV.

Affliction are already talking about bringing in Lashley, but he seems so far in interviews to be being sensible and not taking payday over reputation. Nobody can prepare for a fight like that in little over a week!

Likewise, Lesnar v Fedor might just have been a possibility had Lesnar not had a fight so recently.

Will be interesting to see what they do as its impossible to shy away from the feeling of simply paying big money for someone to feed to Fedor..


Edit - Lashley indeed (sensibly IMO) turned it down and former UFC champion Vitor Belfort will be fighting Fedor at Trinity.

I wonder if Brock will be ringside...

Why did Barnett get banned?

Was quite interested to see that fight. Alot of people saying he had more than a decent chance.

Personally i think anybody who fights fedor is just cannon fodder at the moment. But anybody could beat him at anytime. Just look at his match against Heath Herring where he shocked the world.

Thats the beautifull thing about MMA anything can happen.

Banned substances. IIRC it was just a mis-judgement of suppliments nothing illegal.

Quality PPV last night. I'd forgotten how good Punk's "I'm perfect" promo's were, and he's making a great job of adapting them to the PG world of WWE.

Real shocker they put the belt on Hardy - they must be making a real powerplay for him to re-sign.

The triple threat match was excellent too, Orton continues to get better every PPV..
