UFC 156 goes down this coming Saturday in Las Vegas, featuring the featherweight title fight between Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar, Alistair Overeem‘s return against Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva, Rashad Evans vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, and a whole mess of supporting talent. Check out the extended trailer above, and ask yourself the following…
– How likely is it that Edgar will become the third UFC fighter in history (after Randy Couture and BJ Penn) to become a UFC champion in a second weight division?
– Is anybody buying the idea that Bigfoot’s size and power will be a challenge for Overeem?
– What would Rashad Evans need to do, hypothetically, to convince you that he deserves another crack at Jon Jones?
– The UFC injury curse has been eerily quiet lately, with very few withdrawals of marquee fighters over the past two months. So, were Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta justified in throwing those virgins into the volcano?
And now that we have your attention, you might as well watch this stuff too…
Here’s the trailer for Bobby Razak‘s upcoming documentary on MMA fighter Amanda Lucas, including some choice quotes from her father, Star Wars creator George Lucas.
And finally: The Diaz brothers get pulled over by officer Steven Seagal, and Ariel Helwani teleports into Johny Hendricks‘s living room. Thanks, prebek.
