Guida vs. Pettis Planned for Spring

Agree to disagree i guess.

You think they should have 'stayed the course' and gone with Edgar/Pettis.

I believe they have something good ($$$/fan desire) with Edgar/Maynard 3.
 
Personally, me wanting to see Maynard/Edgar 3 has nothing to do with Dana or the UFC. I loved the first fight and want to see it again as soon as possible. That's not that hard to understand. Sure Pettis gets somewhat screwed in the process, but life isn't always fair. The UFC is a business and this scenario is the best for both business, and the fans. How could any fan be against seeing that fight over again? Should Kolb have gotten his spot back as soon as he was healthy again, even though Vick was the better move? No.

What an AWFUL comparison. Stick to trying to get by in the NBA section big guy.
 
I don't really give a damn about the Dana White vs. The World debate. I just want to see some good fights and I see two amazing fights planned for the near future.
 
My point is, shit changes. You either go along with the changes, or you cry like a little baby. He'll get his chance.

You speak for all fans? Im sure there are a TON of fans out there that are smart enough to see that Pettis is the one who truly deserves the shot. As for money, coming off that amazing highlight reel fight against Ben Hen, there is plenty of money to be made with Pettis aswell, and his stock may never be this high again. Maynard couldnt beat Frankie a couple weeks ago, hes deserving of another chance in the future, but hes not as deserving as the guy who WON A FIGHT to face the champion already. The champion is Frankie Edgar, a draw never changed that fact. Pettis fights Edgar. Gray should be the one that has to fight again and risk losing to get caught up in the shuffle, not Anthony.

Atleast they gave him fucking Guida and not Jim Miller. Guida can be had (altho I doubt it because he'll just jump around and move in and out or wrestle Pettis).. Jim Miller wouldve worked Pettis.
 
My point is, shit changes. You either go along with the changes, or you cry like a little baby. He'll get his chance.

Lol, are you not reading any of this? If Pettis losses hes not gonna get his chance, atleast not without having to do all this all over again. He already did what he had to do to get his chance. Of course hes not gonna cry, hes a young, company guy.. but he knows the opportunity hes potentially losing out on. You guys dont appreciate that he may never get this chance again.. you can say "oh if Guida beats him he wasnt truly deserving", and that may indeed be the truth, but anything can happen in a fight, when given a chance, especially for a title. So his chance may potentially be taken away, even if he is indeed inferior to the competition. Its not right.. if you dont feel for Anthony in this situation you're just a douche or a zombie.
 
Sad fact is, right now, Edgar/Pettis does shit business. The UFC audience has no clue who the kid is despite his run in the mainstream off the kick. Give the kid a fight, let him introduce himself to the new audience and then they may have something.

They can push the hell out of the trilogy factor, legit fight of the year candidate of a rematch, all that jazz.

Sure it sucks for the guy that the title shot isn't his...so what? Edgar/Maynard 3 is the better fight.

don't be mad, like primetime said, we're getting a couple of great fights here.

That is bullshit. They could sell the hell out of Pettis/Edgar, by replaying that clip in the hype a million times. If you dont think the iron is hot with Pettis right now you're insane. MAINSTREAM MEDIA was putting that kick in its top plays of the year.. showing that shit like its going out of style. The UFC could sell Pettis/Edgar EASILY right now, especially when its a title unification match.

Lol @ "so what". Thats the Zombie attitude at its best.

Pettis/Edgar was the great fight we should've got. You still dont get it.

Like I said, I feel for Pettis, I really do. LOL at asking me if I read any of this when I clearly stated that a few posts ago. This opportunity for Maynard/Edgar 3 is too good to pass up for the UFC. This fight also shits on a Edgar/Pettis fight from a business standpoint. Pettis is a young kid and when I said he'll get his chance, I mean throughout his career. He should beat Guida, and if he doesn't than tough luck kid. He deserves a title shot, but so does Maynard, and so does Miller for that matter.
 
I don't understand you. You say Pettis is likely a bum fighter (in that he won't be able to stick with the top UFC 155ers) and yet you're hurt you are not guaranteed an Edgar/Pettis fight.

Pettis will be fine. 2 great fights :thumbsup:

Maynard already GOT a title shot.. and he didnt win. Pettis EARNED a title shot in a number one contender (unification) fight. Its Gray that should be waiting and fighting a Jim Miller or Clay Guida, not Anthony. Gray has a better chance then Anthony at maintaining a top spot in the division, everyone knows that, especially Dana. Dana has no respect for Pettis or he wouldnt have put him in this situation.

Lol @ me calling Pettis a bum, dont put words in my mouth like Dana puts his dick in yours.

Im hurt for Pettis, not for not getting to see the match-up. Its just more dirty business by Zuffa, they do a ton of it.
 
So what your saying is that the better fighter is getting the title shot. I'm good with that. Funny thing is, Pettis is easily one of my top 5 favorite fighters and I could really give 2 shits about Maynard and Edgar.
 
You do realize that Edgar/Maynard 2 was an amazing fight and had everyone talking...it's not like they're pushing Pettis to the side to have Edgar fight Marcus Davis.

You're not giving Pettis enough credit.
