That's a cool list to look at. I knew those fights were all scheduled, but seeing the complete list is impressive. It should be an entertaining remainder of the year.
Good fights but not great, but sometimes quantity is better than quality. Pacquiao vs Cotto is a great matchup:cheer:
Do you really think so? Pac is fighting bigger and bigger guys just to make that cash. It reminds me of Duran. IMO, Pac shouldn't be fightin above 140. I hope he wins though. Not sure why you don't think some of the MMA fights coming up are great:dunno: IMO Penn vs Sanchez is great Machida vs Rua is great Lesnar vs Carwin is great Brown vs Aldo is great a few personal favs: Alves vs Thiago, Mousasi vs Sokoudjo, Jones vs Hamil, Edgar vs Pelligrino:hammert:
Don't listen to Joe, there are plenty of great fights on that list. I really hope Versus and DirecTV fix their mess by the time the Brown\Aldo fight airs. That's an awesome matchup and I'll be pissed if I miss it. TFK
I can't wait, who do you pick, TFK? My brain tells me Brown, but I can't help but WANT to pick Aldo. The guy is just fun to watch.
I don't know. That's such a toss up fight. Brown has looked great against the division's best. But Also has just been detroying his opponants. If I had to choose, I'd go with Brown. He's so strong at 145. Plus, I think to beat Brown, you're gonna have to sub him, and Submissions aren't Aldo's strength. Either way, it's an awesome fight. TFK
Me too brother. Missing Cerrone-Henderson was painful. I still haven't seen it. Understand it was a decent scrap with a ton of submission attempts and I missed it. Brown-Aldo is an amazing match up. Brown is just a strong, strong dude. I don't know how you beat him. Maybe another flying knee.
