and who the fuck is a hector rameriz anyways 6-2 record befor griffin and 0-1 record in the UFC they threw him to the dogs (griffin)just so DANA’s lap dog (griffin) could get back on a better fight track
WHY didn’t griffin fight the sand man (james irvin) cause if griffin couldn’t beat the shit out of ramirez shit he would probably get stomped by irvin.

ok i can see what you are saying on the MIR situation i am not a MIR basher but i just feel that they sorta need a tournament like in the original UFC with all the other heavyweights in the UFC to purley clarify who the #1 contender.i understand that hearing shouldn’t get a rematch and there is no one in the ufc HW division that really stands out but i just beleive that MIR needs one more atleast contender fight after coming back to get this title shot.thats why i beleive the UFC and mostly dana white is falling apart. and i think if they went with the original format of a tounament style situation and then we would have a stand out HW contender and it would also introduce The world to a few more heavy weights that are not well known or not known to the mma community.
on the forrest situation yeah just cause ZUFFA and the UFC placed the placard of RUA being the “best LHW in the world” doesn’t make it so cause how can you be the best if you havn’t beaten the best and at the time HENDERSON was the EX champ of PRIDE and yeah i beleive that RUA sorta did get robbed by the decision during the hendo rua fight but a loss is a loss .
to me even if you do beat the so called best in the world that isn’t the CHAMP i still beleive he still has to prove himself a lil more maybe one more fight against a UFC contender (someone who is proven in the UFC ) befor he got his title shot.like lyoto michida,thiago silva,chucky,rashad,henderson,or atleast a rematch with jardine and if he gets a win over any of them then in my eyes he deserves a shot at the title.

oh great, another Mir basher.. ok.. look at it this way.. who do YOU think should get a title shot??

Heath Herring? HELL NO.
Chieck Kongo? he lost his last fight.
Eddie Sanchez? HELLLLLLLL NO.
Antoni Hardonk? …
Cain Velasquez? Yeah, after a few more fights. And the same goes for that BEAST, Shane Carwin..

but in the mean time, to keep the champ busy/have another TUF/have a headline.. why not give Mir the opportunity.. plus, he never really LOST his belt in COMPETITION sooo.. i say he deserves it..

“what i don’t understand is how just how is griffen even in the top 5 .he got mutilated by jardine then he gets a win over a out of shape first time in the cage shogun”

Shogun might have been a little rusty.. and a little out of shape.. but WHEN Forrest beat him.. he WAS [not "widely considered", he WAS] the best LHW in the world.. bottom line.. so, here’s how i see it.. if you’re coming off a victory [Forrest UD over Hector Ramerez] and you beat the best LHW in the world… why NOT get a title shot?

what i don’t understand is how just how is griffen even in the top 5 .he got mutilated by jardine then he gets a win over a out of shape first time in the cage shogun .yeah he did do a good job against shogun but nothing major yeah the win but being a all around mma fan shogun wasn’t shogun and being shoguns first time in the cage he showed a lil ring rust.
then there is the next tuf 8 with mir and nogueria wow i just don’t understand how mir gets 2 fights back under his belt in the ufc which in my mind he looked horrible against lesner till the heel hook. to me he needs to prove himself to be back in the running against better opponents befor he gets a title shot but the heavyweight class doesn’t have anyone to impresive in it right now but still i beleive you have to earn your shot at a title and this is sorta becoming the downfall for the ufc cause they seem to be just makeing some bad mistakes on title defenses.
this is just my opinion

He is pretty humble in the video, but off camera he was not so cool.

I’ll agree, it certainly wasn’t a tough opponent. But then, there aren’t a lot of top LW’s outside of Zuffa-owned orgs and Japan these days. I didn’t see the RITC event so I can’t comment on his behavior but if that’s true it’s disappointing. You can’t get away with being a jerk for long unless you can win fights against top guys. But I still say, let’s wait and see. Maybe he’s still a douche, but has become a douche with a work ethic.

@ #27 – I know why he fought in RITC. My point is that he didn’t win a decent fight out of the UFC, it wasn’t any type test for him. It’s not like he even beat the champ of RITC. He beat the 5th ranked guy in RITC. I doubt he has learned any humility. He was being a douche at the RITC event.

@#26 Guillard fought in RITC because he had lost those last two fights (in addition to the drug test and being a douche to his last two opponents, both of which I think hurt his career in the eyes of the UFC). Dana told him to go get a win somewhere else and not to come back till he did.

That’s what he’s done. At least let him show what he has in this next fight… the kid is exploding with potential, he just needs to learn discipline and humility, and maybe during his 6 month forced vacation from the UFC, he has.

Guillard needs to be out of the UFC. His only win since 2006 was to a guy at Rage in the Cage whose nickname is “short bus”. The guy has fought 20 fights in 2 years and is 10-10. He is tough but not exactly UFC level.

Gurgel needs to be out of the UFC as well. If miller beats him there should be no question about it. All of his fights in the UFC go to decision. He is 3-2 in the UFC but all of his wins have been against guys who are 0-1, 0-2, and 0-3 in the UFC. Gurgel must have pictures of Dana and Tito making out, I have no idea why they are trying to keep him in the UFC.
