Thoughts? Opinions?

I really don't see the logic behind this deal at all. What was there to gain? None of the fighters were world class, the video library is equally mundane and the organization would have been shut down shortly in any event.

monopolizing faggots.

Ryan schultz is a beast though. He wooped Huertas ass.

in defense of huerta, that was his third fight of the day when he fight schultz and he already had a broken jaw from the previous fight.....huerta would take it in a rematch

i'd like to see jay heiron in the UFC again, he puts on some good fights

Gibbyhobud · 07-24-2008, 07:12 PM

Horedecki is pretty good.

Captain Smoker · 07-24-2008, 07:33 PM

Schultz and Horedecki are both well rounded up N comers. Both deserve to be in the UFC, especially if all these TUFers with losing records who didn't even win the TUF tourny can be in the UFC. Schultz and Horedecki are legit.

Yeah dude, I love Schultz, I think he is the man.

The way HW div looks I would like to see Roy Nelson.

Plus nobody gives credit to Wagnney Fabiano the 145 champ. I think Fabiano has a legit chance at submitting Faber and winning.

Good points. I don't know about the Faber thing though... Dude seems unstoppable. He's got skillz.

I guess if Fabiano can take a good beating he can slip in a good submission. Shall be interesting! somebody needs to test Faber. The guy is nuts

I like this move by Zuffa if it is in fact a fact. There are some good fighters that I'd like to see matched up against current UFC/WEC fighters.

Relentless · 07-24-2008, 09:18 PM

how about vlady?? he's been on quite a tear lately

Jesus_Didn't_Tap · 07-25-2008, 09:45 AM

The deal isnt finialized yet. wouldnt be a bad move, get a handful of decent fighters, a HUUUUGE library of fight footage and it would only cost well under 1 million. And as far as Horedecki goes, he seems to be in talks with the AFL

Relentless · 07-25-2008, 10:38 AM

eh whatever, he's still got tons of room for improvement and i think he should get a little more experience

SteveBoogie · 07-25-2008, 12:39 PM

i've actually never watched an ifl show with the exception of the rothwell/rodriguez fight, but it sounds like they've got maybe a handful of guys worth having...nothing wrong with that when you get them for 2 cents a share.
