yeah, i think King Mo is in over his head on this one. I think he's a really good fighter and certainly has a chance, but the jump from Whitehead to Mousasi and after only 6 fights is a huge one and for the title of a major promotion, nonetheless. At least for Mo, the weight class will be to his advantage since Gegard is really a middleweight.


should be a kick-ass card and a chance for Shields to prove he's one of the best since a lot of people doubt him.

I agree with the first part about Mo, but I'm not sure that Gegard is a true middleweight. I think he will be able to go back and forth, but I think he is leaning twords light heavy being his main fighting weight. I read an article some time back about how he was basically gaining weight (good weight) right out of middle and into 205, without really trying.

If Shields can beat Hendo, he will definetly open some eyes, but I don't see that happening.
 
for me, this is one of those wtf moves. UFC signed boxer James Toney. They've been going back and forth for a while now and I think Dana was a little reluctant but they finally inked a contract.

this is a weird one for me because Toney is older, I dont' think he has any wrestling background or mma at all. I'm assuming he's trained here and there but is still really new at mma. don't know if you can teach this old dog new tricks. we'll see i guess

It's more than wtf, it's absolute garbage. He has no chance at even being decent, and this is a circus move.

Dana, if you want your sport to be legitimate (and you complain about it enough already), then stop doing crap like this.

I know his main concern is making money, and this will do that, especially when they line him up with Kimbo, and I don't have an issue with guys trying to make money, but you can't cry about people not taking the sport seriously then. It's got to be one or the other.
